Return our 2007 (or authentically play PS2)

I love to remember the past. No, not so. I live the past! Any psychologist would probably have been waiting for me to his session, but I hasten to lay a straw: not everything was perfect in childhood, but children’s episodes that bring me joy are not least related to games. And having come to game impotence after a quarter of life, you can find a simple conclusion – you need to play that you liked it!

This post would not have been if I were not too lazy to understand emulators and if I did not accidentally know that my PS2 is more alive than all the living. In this text, I will not claim the truth in the last instance, to talk about the greatness of the console or games I played on it. I just wanted to share human joy. Suddenly someone will help to recharge with energy into great deeds in his path of Gamer, yes? Do not forget to write about your memories in the comments, I love to read such stories!

Chapter 1. Where we are going, “tulips” are very needed.

It is worth starting at all with the fact that PS2 never disappeared from sight: it can be said to be constantly interfering, occupying a voluminous part of the chest of drawers (I have FAT’s), but of course, the hand did not rise in any way. All this playing heritage, meanwhile, was interspersed with other Nintendo DS and PSP consoles that are dear to my heart. And it seems that you need to take and let go, play on an emulator or in a PC version, but I have a huge drawback-the desire to collect any junk. I am pleased with the idea that I have the same disc with the conditional licensed resident evil 4, which would stand on the shelf and delighted the eye.

And here, engaged in repairs in the apartment, I was visited by a thought simple as three kopecks: “And if I have a pot -bellied Sony TV in my country house, then why not start from it when arranging the repair already there?”. It is unknown when, however, there will be a repair there, but there is already a concept in the head, which is already good.

1.1. What you need to start PS2?

Relating all the pros https://gamesnotongamstop.co.uk/review/winstler-casino/ and cons, I came to the conclusion that it is necessary, first, to start, at least check the operability of the console. After all, I have not launched for a long time (spoiler: in the country I learned that the last preservation was done on April 14, 2010), suddenly my journey needs to start with a fundamental task of finding a used console from the console? Before this, it is worth noting that in my folder with documents lay a file with a manual to launch a console in all languages ​​(except Russian) and, lo and, oh, tulips with an interesting entrance for the console .

Having connected the console to the TV (simultaneously finding the power cable, which Sony has the same for many years), I saw not only the work capacity of the prefix, but also her attempts to load some disk! I didn’t think that I would leave such a gift from the past, but there I was waiting for me, naturally pirate, Splinter Cell: Double Agent. Having entered my profile here, on SG, you can see that the “double agent” is in the list of favorite games (just in the version for the second curling), so it is impossible not to rejoice at such a find. And, of course, from myself, I can wait for the purchase of a licensed disk in the collection (especially, this is the last SC for the sixth generation console).

The next, after a positive signal about its performance, I was awaiting a terrible disappointment that the console had a very interesting connector for the gamepad. And here, of course, you should again contact online stores where there is a suitable controller that will satisfy my request. Mine cost 600 rubles, but with the most distant design – the central part without inscriptions (they could make a pony logo, honestly!), and the buttons of actions are drawn by a dotted line. As they say, what did you want for that kind of money? But there is a little desire to find an original gamepad.

Something did not guess it to take it separately, but in the combo with the hand and the telecom (and the Easter in the face of the fallen fan in the reflection)

And so, completely equipping myself in full, I reached the climax. Gamepad, wires, performance checked, which means the most important thing remains – to wait for spring when you can go to the country in order to enjoy the grandeur.

Chapter 2. What I was going to play (and how I released a place on the memory card).

Before waiting for warm weather, when in the country you can not only sculpt snowmen from mud, of course, to take care of a set of games that can be launched. And with this, an amazing thing, everything is fine with us! If we take the task of finding licensed games that will cost something, we will have to pay an amount, on average, worthy of the AAA-releases of the 2010s.

Chapter 2.1. Let’s look at pricing closer?

A small reserve of games on marketplaces and sites for the sale of used things leads us to the following thoughts: you can find a lot of goodies, but you will have to pay more. Being a huge fan of the Silent Hill series, my thoughts, of course, adjusted searches from abstract games to specific discs about the foggy city. Discs C, I am not afraid of these words, the most important part of the series, the second, are sold already in a large weight category – from 5000 thousand rubles. Maybe I’m looking badly, but so far only. The three managed to find (but not yet to buy) in the area of ​​3.5-4k, and The Room, from which my PS2 classics collection began in 2000. True, without a manual, but the state of the disk is very good.

The greatest pleasure from searching for discs is not it is strange to learn about the ports of famous games that, it turns out, went to PS2. I have been looking at the Deus Ex 2000 for a day, which is sold somewhere in Siberia (damn it, it seems I am doing a bear service for myself, telling about such a find in this post).

Special pleasure was to consider the disks in the catalog in the zero. So many interesting, but incomprehensible games – the seller could tell about new products, not trying to highlight the one that is more expensive, because, which is strange, everyone had the same price tag – 100 rubles. Democratic!
