This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

PS1 was released in North America in Sept. 1995, 30 years ago.

So the grandpa was born in 1967 to be 28 in 1995, which does make him 58 in 2025.

Still, it sounds more like the grandpa was buying the PS1 for his 8 year old son in 1995.

I bought a 3Dfx graphics accelerator so i could play Final Fantasy VII on the PC when it came out. It was more expensive than a PS1 would have been but i was a cool PC gamer, of course, not some console peasant. I'm a bit older than OP's grandpa in this story. And now get off my lawn, damn kids!

I had an ATI 3D Rage Pro. Fucking loved that thing. I used that all the way up to 2006. Man, MechWarrior 3 looked so good on that.
