The classic PlayStation TV advert “Double Life”, created by ad agency TBWA, was accepted into the prestigious Clio Hall of Fame in 2007. Writer James Sinclair came up with the stirring monologue on the late train home from a lengthy brain-storming session. The ad was directed by Frank Budgen who would go on to make the hugely ambitious “Mountain” advert for PlayStation 2. Saturn’s core isn’t the only part of it to change over time. As Nasa’s Cassini probe has discovered, the planet remained ring-less most of its life - until a fateful encounter changed everything. Less than a hundred million years ago, one of Saturn’s ice moons was drawn too close to the planet. In a truly cataclysmic event the entire moon was destroyed and the rings where born. In 1997, Sony released the Net Yaroze, a programmable version of the PlayStation, which allowed users to create their own games. Many current developers got their first break with the machine, including Mitsuru Kamiyama, whose homemade role-playing adventure Terra Incognita led to him working on the famed Final Fantasy series.

It is the longest RIVAL blaster, with a length of thirty-two inches. This makes it longer than the Hades XVIII-6000, which is thirty inches long. Goto also abandoned the traditional practise of labeling joypad buttons with sequential letters. He instead used four symbols: the triangle represents the player’s view point, the square represents a piece of paper (for menus or other in-game documents), and the O and X buttons respectively represent “yes/right” or “no/wrong” options – this was reversed in Western territories, so that the X button became the de facto “move ahead/action” option. Launched in July 2000, the PSone, a substantially smaller and cheaper version of the PlayStation, went on to sell 28m units. It became the most successful console of the 2000 holiday season, easily beating the new PlayStation 2.

In the 80s and early 90s, most consoles came with flat joypads. However, Teiyu Goto, the creator of the iconic two-handled PlayStation controller, felt that the three dimensional design matched the 3D visuals of the games. Many managers within Sony were resistant to the concept, but Goto had the support of Sony president and keen pilot Norio Ohga, who liked the device because it reminded him of an airplane control wheel.

Broadcasts

There were eight PlayStation games available on day one, including two mahjong titles, a train simulator and the genuine killer app, a version of Namco’s arcade driving sim Ridge Racer. The game ran a playable version of classic shooter Galaxian while it loaded, an idea suggested by producer Yozo Sakagami who once worked on - yes - Galaxian. Players who managed to shoot all the aliens, were rewarded with extra cars to drive in Ridge Racer itself. In 1994, Namco also developed an arcade board named System 11, which was based on the prototype PlayStation specifications. The first major title to use the board was the fighting game Tekken, which originated as a test program to experiment with texture-mapped polygonal characters. It would later become a key PlayStation hit.
