My Weird PS1 PlayStation Collection (2020) - Tama Hero (Tales of Destiny II, Spyro, Tomb Raider) 

Ah. The memory of not having a memory card and replaying the first hour of a game a thousand times. Those were the days.

"Cube shaped?!" Oh man, Tama's gonna share her secret massive collection of Rubix Cubes next episode. 😂

The bargain bin, universal childhood memories.

This kind of Mish mash collection is much more interesting than people that collect everything. It shows you want you value and games you played when you were young and kept for all these years

The Tomb Raider segment brought back so many memories haha! I played those games so much. Fantastic collection! 😀

TALES OF DESTINY 2 (actually Tales of Eternia). HOLY SHIT.

Woah! that's such a cute little CRT

That poor butler 😂 used to spend hours torturing that poor soul 🤣🤣

"nowadays I hope this attitude is less common" I just bought a spyro plush for a female friend who lives like 5 states away and I haven't seen in person about 10 years because she loved that game and it came up in a plushie group for cheap. And I already have 2 of them, one of them being 3 feet tall lol. SERIOUSLY though, Spyro was like the pikachu of Playstation, boys would find him cool from his brave, snarky attitude and girls would find him adorable, or both.

It's so nice to see you talk about the PlayStation. That was childhood right there. I got one in 1998 for Xmas because Mum was convinced gaming would help me socialise better. Some of the games nearest and dearest to my heart are on the PS1 and for years I felt RU-vid mostly ignored them as a whole. Huge shout out for Search for Reptar. That game is extremely solid. I remember borrowing the Spice World game from the video shop too. I love Spyro (especially number 1) and like Crash well enough. Most of the obscure platformers (Tomba, Klonoa) are really fun but also crazy, crazy expensive. Gex is a lot cheaper and is pretty crude but oozes platforming goodness too. If you like Tomb Raider you might like Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. Very atmospheric and dark but but with a great world and narrative. Oh The Bug's Life game is fantastic. Really strong platformer of a licensed game. I reckon of any game I suggested you'd like that the most. There really are a tonne of RPGs for it but one of my favourite is Guardian's Crusade, which if I had to compare to any other game would be Ni no Kuni for PS3. Very simplistic but great music. Other games that are classics are Roll Away (puzzle goodness), MediEvil (just got remade on PS4, very Nightmare Before Christmas), Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus (platformers with strong critiques of consumerism), Ape Escape (Requires the DualShock), Jersey Devil (platformer, one of my faves), Vib Ribbon (cute rhythm game). Most of these are available on PSN if you have a PS3 and don't wanna shell out for expensive games. Great to see you back and excited to see more videos as you get time :).

Its so funny you posted this! I finally got a copy of Tales of Destiny II (Eternia) last month! 13 yr old me should have paid the $40 back in the day lol biggest regret, but not anymore!

You should check out Square Enix's Parasite Eve. One of the best games on the system, and a fun hybrid of Final Fantasy style RPG mechanics with survival horror.

Loved hearing about you and your Dad and sister playing Tomb Raider together! That whole thing with boys not letting you play on their consoles because you were a girl was pretty shitty though. Strangely, my first introduction to a Playstation One was basically the opposite of yours. When I was a kid, one day I was over at a family friend's house and their two daughters had a PSOne which they let me play Spyro on.

6:09 Seeing that cover for Rugrats studio tour gave a lot of nostalgia, I spent a lot of time on that game, more than I would like to admit

I really thought you said “Land Before time Great Value Racing Adventure” lol

Spyro year of the dragon was the best ❤

As a kid I used to be kinda sad about the severe lack of girl gamers. I'm not that social as a person, so one of the few ways I am able to bond with people is through, well gaming. I'm happy to see that today the world is a different place, and not only full of more girl gamers, but more accepting of them too. We still have a lot more progress to make on that end when it comes to respecting girl gamers, but I hope that with each passing generation, girls, boys and everyone else can bond together on equal grounds using gaming as a medium.

Spyro happened to be a hallmark of my childhood as well! Not sure if it was officially the first game I played, but I know he was the first video game character that I adored! He was the reason purple was my favorite color growing up and I really liked dragons because of him too! Spyro 3 was the game I had memories of and is also my favorite in the trilogy. It's so cool that we both have fond memories of him :).

Tales of Eternia! I bought a Japanese copy this year and I finally got here late last month. 15 December (Today in Japan) is the franchise's 25th anniversary. Phantasia is 25 and Abyss is 15. Thanks for the video.

Ah, yes... The PS1. One of my favorite consoles growing up. The games I had the fondest memories of were Spider-Man, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy Tactics, Crash 2, Spyro 1, and Namco Museum Vol. 1

I was a playstation girl and asked my dad to get me one a few years after it came out (I was 4 on its launch year), no one said girls don't play games to me and I had a mix of originals and some chipped. I played mostly digimon world 1/2/3/rumble, crash bandicoot 3, spyro 3 and the legend of dragoon. I also had that lilo and stitch game and I remember really enjoying it.

Gotta say, I love these videos! Hearing your stories about your life with gaming makes me grin cheek to cheek.

Awesome video and especially awesome opening :0 giving me chills

The comeback we've all been waiting for 🤩🤩 hope everything's going well with the new job! 🥰

The first PlayStation game I ever bought was Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone when I was around 8 years old. It had the most frustrating controls I have ever felt and I never beat it. There's a section not far into it where you have to race Peeves, and I never got past it. I'm still kind of annoyed with it.

This is nice and relaxing It's nice to hear about your weird games, because nowadays, most people wouldn't hear about them at all.

Yay you're back! I missed your videos a lot! ❤

I love this series showing off your game collection!

A clear division in all the games your nostalgic for and games you bought specifically for videos. It's nice to hear what games you cherished growing up on the PS1, but the other half is just as good because it reminds me of those excellent videos.

Klonoa Door to Phantomile is one of my personal favourite games of all time. Such a charming platformer. It’s a shame it’s so expensive nowadays. The Mega Man Legends series is also really good! The graphics still hold up really well to this day! I love these collection videos! I remember awhile back you had a website or something that documented your Pokémon collection, so it’s really cool to get an in depth look at all of your other little treasures!

I love weird games so I need to watch these videos. And speaking of Tales of Destiny II I am so glad I found it in the wild for $200 that game is so hard to find

This is a pleasant surprise. I love the Tales of series, especially when Symphonia, Abyss and Legendia were a thing.

I love your videos ive been watching for more than 5 years and becuase you chuggaaconroy and purplerodri got me into loving pokemon till this day

I have 3 PS1 games, Tomb Raider 2, Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase, and the Spice Girls. 😆

Spent so long looking for this channel you fr one of da goats luv ya twin

The two sounds of my childhood when I first started playing video games: The GameBoy Pocket's "ba ding" and the PS1's satisfying as all hell synth sounds. Also I have that same third party memory card from when the Osco by my first home was selling those. They for some reason had random PS1 stuff, like my first copy of Wild Arms 2 that wasn't just used, but also had the Blockbuster stickers on the discs.

hey tama. just saying i randomly type your channel in every now and then to check for new vids. i grew up with your channel so thanks for being you. love you and your content, hope life treats you well !

Tama, you single handedly have had more of an impact in my life then the information I've gained through you has. When I found your channel back in 2013-15 (sometime during then), you helped me found and run a Pokemon club at my highschool by providing me with knowledge about the games that nobody else had. I fell off your channel in the summer after I graduated from highschool and RU-vid (un)kindly erased you from my recommended videos. Today, I was reintroduced to you via another channel! I've just finished watching through a few of the videos you've made in recently and then a few from back then when I became a viewer and am feeling all sorts of emotions. You are just as lovely and lively as ever, and I cant wait to see more content!!!

I remember growing up I had a N64 and my cousin a PS1, I did enjoy playing zelda and mario a lot, but at one point there were a bunch of PS1 games I was urging to play. I asked my father for a ps1 one day for my birthday, and he surprised me by coming home with a newly released PS2, that was a very touching moment I still remember fondly to this day.

another nostalgic video!! ps1 was the pinnacle of my childhood gaming era... one day my dad spontaneously came home from work with a brand new one for me and my sister. the opening intro to primal rage is forever etched into my brain. i was mindblown by the 3d graphics since all i was exposed to prior was pretty much only sega and nes. i actually first got into gaming thanks to many girls/women in my family. my aunt gave my mom an atari, a sega master system, and an nes so i first started with that. then a family friend gave my older sister a game boy, who let me have it since i was more into it. when we got a ps1, i was old enough to understand how to care for the hardware and disks, so it holds a special place in my heart. i remember i used to go to gaming stores with my mom and she would let me get whatever cheap game i wanted. all the gaming clerks would always try to convince her that a game was too violent and mature for me to play but she would be like naaah its cool and bought it anyways. one time i got resident evil 2 and geez i had to exchange it for something else since i was terrified of the first level. i ended up getting mega man legends. perhaps you would like those if you havent tried them. the megaman legends series. anyways, long live psx =^.^=

Happy to see ya, Miss Tama. I hope your month away was a good one😊

Long time viewer here. Been out of touch with this channel for a while. Glad to see its still going!

Really enjoyed this video

Really enjoyed this video Tama!

I'm so glad I got to see more playstation memories. I'm always seeing more love on other consoles but never enough here. It was the console in my childhood and happy to see more stories from others like you~

This video was so warm and wholesome

I played the PS1 back when I was a kid in the 2000s and I played somes on it like Tekken 3, Final Fantasy VIII (8), Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Battle 22, and my favorite Dragon Valor

The original Tomb Raider trilogy are my favorite! I still replay them to this day :)

Ah our girl is back! I hope your new job treats you well. It's awesome to have a new video even if you can't upload as frequently as before.

I recommend trying to get more RPG for the system. The holy grail in my opinion is the Lunar series and make sure to get them complete in box because it has so much good stuff to that collection. Also, tomba collection is a fun 1.5 platformer series

great video, what an awesome collection

Great video, as always! The playstation was my first home console as well. Don't know if you've played Grandia, but that's a really great rpg that doesn't get talked about all that much.

The PlayStation is so nostalgic for me, I as well grew up with it and the same games

RU-vid failed to recommend this one to me, and your most recent too! Hope that doesn't happen again, I love your content.

just bought my first PlayStation 1 game yesterday from Goodwill, it's Spiderman, I don't have a PlayStation but I love collecting comic book merchandise and it was a great condition CD case and disk for just three dollars!

3:35 "but why?" i like the way she says it so inquisitive like, but i also get flashbacks from that one preacher that hates pokemon

Nice Lil Collection Tama 😊🎮👿

Keep up the great work and videos love you tama

also i’ve been dying to know where you get your music for your videos. it’s some really relaxing stuff

I remember playing that land before time game as a kid! I had completely forgotten about it until you mentioned it. It's fun to think about old games kind haven't touched in forever

Some PS1 recommendations: Ape Escape, Future Cop: LAPD, Metal Gear Solid, Parasite Eve I and II, Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Return, MediEvil I and II, Toy Story 2, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Vandal Hearts

Locking the Butler in the freezer is the funniest thing. I love how we all had these extra things we would do in games as kids to keep us occupied. Great video, Tama!

I find your voice very soothing. Great video

Tamas sprite for thumbnails is super cute. Whoever drew it, they're doing the lords work

Yay more personal video game history, thank you

I've recently been infatuated with the rudeboy thorhighheels, who has like a billion reviews and retrospectives of SUPER NICHE playstation era games. So your video is serendipitous with that discovery for me. Love to see it!

I used to love kileak when I was a kid! Not sure how I’d feel now but man the memories of that game!

The ps1 is my all time favorite console, mine was given to me by my dads friend for free and it was the first console I could call my own. The 32 bit polygonal look of the games just makes me feel so nice. This was where my love of gaming came from

i really like these collection videos

I LOVED locking the butler in the freezer XD It’s nice to see the other side of Tama

The Tomb Raider games were so much fun! Lara is really cool and the platforming and exploration was really addictive for me :D

Good video it was very entertaining and for some reason relaxing I think it's your voice 🙂. Some of my early games were Need For Speed Hot Pursuit, Driver, Twisted Metal, Spyro, Tomb Raider and many more. I'm happy to have had one back in the day fun times!✌️ O and many years later I had Abe's Odyssey with no memory card I would just leave the PlayStation on for days at a time😂

good to have you back I hope you had a good month off and in terms of your collections it is pretty neat and interesting my collection is nothing but rpgs and fighting games oh and metal gear solid not sure what genre to put that in cause tactical espionage action isn't really a thing if I had to recommend a game to you it would have to be vagrant story just cause the story and game play are so interesting and the music is also simply the best I still listen to it to this day

The fact that you just happen to have Magic Knight Rayearth. Such a rare and expensive game now.

That intro sound got me crying with nostalgia :)

Just started replaying the ps1 Digimon World game (what a coincidence) and I got to say, this video really takes me back. You wouldn't believe how much time I clocked in playing various thrift store games like the rugrats games.

I always loved the Konami Fisherman's Challenge Trilogy with Big Ol' Bass and Big Ol' Bass 2. I liked Reel Fishing I and II as well but the Konami 3 were more Arcade like.

As an avid game collector back then, I was with the N64 crowd. So, I missed out on lots of PS1 games. By the year 1999, I got *_"Mizzurna Falls"_* after I studied Japanese, *_"Resident Evil"_* , *_"Lemmings"_* (I also had the SNES & Sega Genesis versions that game), & *_"Tetris with Cardcaptor Sakura: Eternal Heart"_* one year later (I'm a big *_"Cardcaptor Sakura"_* fan... but I suck at Tetris). That's what I consider to be my childhood PS1 collection. Good video!

There is a really fun bowling game for the PS1 called 10 Pin Alley, and later they made an Animaniacs version of it. Either one would be a lot of fun and I think you would enjoy them!

Brave Fencer Musashi is my favorite game on the PS1! It always makes me happy to see it in other people's collections. You... you Little Turd!

omg tales has finally invaded a tama video. i can die happy

The PS1 was an awesome system. It had something for everyone, it was one of my favorite systems as a kid. If you've never played kingsley's adventure, I'd recommend it. Well, 6 year old me would, I haven't revisited it since. Yet I will never forget the game. Its odd how some games stick with you even if they aren't amazing. You've inspired me to go hunt the game down and play it again! Excellent video Tama!

Unique collection😤👍

My favorite game for PlayStation growing up was Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase. I found it at a really cool store nearby soon before it closed down and it still holds up!

It's cool to see your Saturn stuff! Very lucky to have a copy of Rayearth

Would love to see a vid on Search for Reptar. That was the first video game I ever owned and beat back in 98.

As someone from the UK I missed out on Tales of Destiny 2 on the PS1 as it was never ported to the UK, but did pick it up in 2007 when it released on PSP as Tales of Eternia, since then its become my favorite JRPG that isn't Pokemon due to its fast pace, likeable characters and their development and the incredibly creative idea of two planets being so close together you can see the ground of one in the sky of the other. I would love for you to make a video specifically about it because it doesn't get nearly the love it deserves.

That Rugrats game was one of my first Playstation games, and was really difficult due to the controls, but actually entertaining.

Can't wait for the gamecube. The Gambecube, ps2, xbox 360, and nintendo handhelds were adolescence and teenage years. The gamecube controller will always hold a special place in my heart.

Yo I fr haven’t seen your channel in 6 years. Last video i watched was when you ranked the generations of pokémon, I got into pokémon again recently so i had to find a lot of the channels i used to watch.

That intro tho! Perfect

My favorite PlayStation game is Orphen: Scion of Sorcery, it is actually a PlayStation 2 game. I hope to replay it this year, it’s permanently at the top of my ps list. Great Video 👍🏾

I put SOOOO many hours into Harvest Moon: Back to Nature back in 2002/3. It was so addictive that I ended up being late to my university lectures - let's say more than a few times. Fast forward to Christmas 2020 and my oldest daughter got Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town which (yes, I know it's Harvest Moon in everything but name) has a very familiar village layout.

Can't go wrong with any of the JRPGS on the PS1. Don't know if you ever played any of the Odd-world games but I liked them a lot. Great video as always 😁

When I was kid, my playstation collection consisted of spyro, crash 2 and 3(but not 1), and several demo discs. Because I didn't have a memory card for a long time, if I wanted to see the later levels on any of these games, I had to make it to them in one sitting. This kind of inadvertently turned me into a speedrunner for all 3 of these games, which was fine with me, since I had already been playing a ton of NES games that didn't have save features at all, and had to be played all in one sitting anyway, so I was basically speedrunning those too. I got REALLY good at the first couple worlds of spyro and crash 3. When the remakes came out, it was SOOO hard not to speed through those first couple worlds so I could appreciate the new graphics. Several levels I genuinely forgot to slow down and actually look at. All because I didn't have a memory card as a kid.

I think u would absolutely love klonoa door to phantomile!! Sadly the disc is really expensive nowadays, but it is so good. Gotta love cutesy games that are secretly gonna make you cry

Top 10 reasons why Tama Hero should be at 1M Subs 1. Gamer Content!!! 1 is already good enough

Speaking of RPGs on PS1, does anyone else remember The Legend of Dragoon? My brother let me have a file on his copy when I was 4 and it's really the only JRPG I got into as a kid

I had Search for Reptar... that just unlocked some memories.

I never had a playstation, but through emulation I was able to play a few games I always wanted to try out in the early 2010s, like Megaman Legends, Digimon World, FF7, and some of the Megaman X games (I was a big Megaman fan). Underrated console imo, I liked that there were so many random games for it too
