Sony has revealed the full list of games that will be included in the PlayStation Classic – a miniaturized version of the original 1997 games console.
The list includes many fondly remembered classics from the 1990s – including Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid and Tekken 3 – along with some slightly more obscure titles that never gained mainstream success when they were first released (or were never big hits outside of Japan).
Here’s the full list:
- Battle Arena Toshinden
- Cool Boarders 2
- Destruction Derby
- Final Fantasy VII
- Grand Theft Auto
- Intelligent Qube
- Jumping Flash
- Metal Gear Solid
- Mr Driller
- Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee
- Rayman
- Resident Evil Director’s Cut
- Revelations: Persona
- Ridge Racer Type 4
- Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
- Syphon Filter
- Tekken 3
- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6
- Twisted Metal
- Wild Arms
Announced last month, the PlayStation Classic will be the latest retro console to be shrunk-down, loaded up with classic games and re-leased at a wallet-friendly price. The NES, Super Nintendo and Sega Megadrive have all recently had a similar treatment.
The console will be sold with 20 games in its internal storage and will include 2 wired controllers and a HDMI connection. Similar to other mini consoles, it can be charged via micro USB.
Due to its small size, the PlayStation Classic won’t be able to play original discs – the CD tray is non-functional and purely for decoration. As is par for the course, players won’t be able to download additional games either – but with a collection including some absolute gems, it’s still well worth the price of admission.
The PlayStation Classic will be released on 3rd December 2018 with an RRP of £89.99.
