I know if you were playing it on a PS1 and not using a memory card, they'd give you a password at certain points. But I don't remember the specifics behind it now

I remember those struggle years of having to wait and save ya money to buy a memory card cuz ya moms didn't/forgot to buy one. Was a struggle to have to explain to her that and why a memory card was necessary as well as explaining that she needed to buy a game too. Moms always on that "I paid $XXX for this, what you mean you can't play it?" Had to survive on them demo discs and game rentals for months.

Trying to play RE 2 with no memory card was no joke

I had to flip the playstation over so it wouldn't overheat lol

It was a whole different experience once i bought that memory card

Please believe, when Moms go buy the accessories, she's always gonna buy the knock-off joints. I remember the 2nd PSX controller I got. shyt was bulky, had a "rapid fire" switch on the top and had ridges on the side. Nobody wanted to play with the 2nd controller. Any time somebody lost a game or fight, they blamed the controller. If you want an accessory with the Sony label you had to save and buy it yourself/

The demo discs

I think mine came with demos of Crash 2, Tomb Raider 2, and Jet Moto 2. Since Crash 1 was the only full game I had at the time, I played all of those demos to death

Crash Bandicoot save points are in the special stages. It was a bad system.

 

[llt23]

Crash 1 was the hardest one definitely. That boss with the machine gun was no joke
