Every PS1 Game…Starting with Revelations: Persona
I had an odd dream last night. Somehow I achieved surprise financial independence (Lottery? Inheritance? Dreams never explain these things) and decided I was going to quit my job so I could drive through every US state and write about Playstation games. There are like, thousands of games for the original Playstation, which was originally released in Japan in 1994 and still received new games well into 2004. If you wanted to do five games a week, it would still take over 10 years. I pictured myself on a never-ending 50 state road trip where scenic backroad jaunts were punctuated by bouts of emulation and writing, and it was all published on my site: EveryPS1game.com (which, as of this writing, is actually available).
Okay, stripping away the fantastical elements, there’s actually a good idea in there.

Most people have forgotten that the Volvo 960–itself a somewhat forgotten car in the shadow of the 240 and 740–ended its life badged as the S90 (sedan) and V90 (wagon).
