32 Years Later, A PS1 Classic Is Coming To Modern Consoles

32 Years Later, A PS1 Classic Is Coming To Modern Consoles

From Screen Rant on | OpenCritic

There are so many incredible PlayStation 1 classics that are still trapped on old hardware, and it's becoming a problem. Now that the PS1 has been long out of print, it's getting harder to find one at a reasonable price, and the same can be said of its enormous library of games. Legendary titles that are frankly must-plays are simply unaffordable due to scarcity, which, naturally, means that the majority of people miss out. Even if everyone were able to afford a copy, there simply aren't enough left in the world to allow everyone to experience them.

So, without going the way of Captain Jack Sparrow, that leaves only official ports, and they aren't always guaranteed. We'd all love to see some of the best classic PlayStation games ported over to modern hardware, but that relies on either the original publisher or the right's holder footing the bill, and there may not be the interest. Luckily, one PS1 game that has been stuck in limbo for 32 years is finally coming to modern hardware, something that is a rather big deal considering it is a part of one of the greatest gaming franchises of all time.
