If the Playstation were a human, it would be old enough to drink. 2 Likes 1 Share

RedRubberDucky: Of course! Crash Bandicoot I had heard of, but I played a Crash game for the first time on my GBA SP. Donkey Kong, of course, of course! I even watched the DK show that was out in the 90s! Rayman, I was only exposed to during the GBA days. Don't know so much about the character, but I thought his detached arms were hilarious. :p But I'm not old! :p |
