Fifth generation | 1996-2004 (magazine distribution era) | CD-ROM (demo discs); online distribution
Games: 120+ | Units sold: -
The PlayStation’s iconic black console iteration acted as a homebrew development kit. Its games were typically distributed on demo discs that accompanied magazines. Each needed to fit the system’s 3.5MB of active memory, resulting in projects that encouraged fun-focused arcade efforts, both 2D and 3D. The range of styles was considerable and featured a number of notable titles, including: Psychon, Blitter Boy, Super Bub and Hover Racing. The movement has since retained a small presence through online development jams.
