Game news A throwback more than 20 years ago! He finds a relic from another era that makes fans of this PlayStation console dream
You will enjoy a little nostalgia! This player has found a relic that may bring back fond memories from more than 20 years ago.
The PlayStation 2, the console of nostalgia
If you were born in the 90s, there are a good number of consoles that must have marked your gaming life. Of course, there are the different Nintendo consoles, on which you certainly cut your teeth. And then, once adolescence arrived, it was time to move on to “the grown-up console”: the PlayStation 2. The least we can say is that the PS2 era was pivotal for Sony. It must be said that the console in question was a huge success and is even today the best-selling console in the history of video games (158 million copies).
This is partly due to its technical and graphic innovations, but also to the many quality titles that were released during this period. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Final Fantasy X, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, Resident Evil 4, Okami, Gran Turismo 4… There was something for everyone ! So you probably all have in mind a game that marked your childhood and which ran on the PS2. In short, the console today has a fairly significant nostalgic aura. So when a player finds a relic linked to the console in his house, hundreds of players automatically return to their childhood.
A book full of nostalgia
While tidying up his house, Reddit user Hass7771 found a book that really helped him during his childhood: 10,000 cheats for your PlayStation 2 (10,000 cheat codes for your PlayStation 2). And yes because if the youngest have perhaps forgotten it, video games previously had cheat codes. These could allow you to advance more quickly in the game by triggering assistance (insensitive to damage, more money, etc.) or even give you access to very specific things. In the GTA games, for example, it was possible to have access to a whole bunch of vehicles and imposing weapons, while increasing your star rating as much as possible. This of course gave a completely different flavor to the game. Who has never tried to survive the hordes of police as long as possible thanks to the stars cheat code?
On Redditmany players have expressed their nostalgia following the discovery of Hass7771. Some remember the magazines of the time which were, for many, the only way to know his famous codes or to have access to the game’s solution. One day even tells how he invested in obtaining a book as a reward like that of Hass7771. And how, unfortunately, he had it stolen a few months later by a classmate: “I would love to be able to see this guy again and beat him up to get my book back. Fuck you, Devon!” When we tell you that the PS2 can arouse strong emotions, it’s not for nothing…
