Day one
How well do you remember the launch of each PlayStation home console? The release of a brand new game-playing machine is always exciting, but at the same time, it can be easy to forget the software that arrived alongside the hardware. And so here we are, with a quiz that'll test your knowledge of PlayStation launch titles.
Think you're a day one dynamo? Answer these 15 questions and see whether your memories are intact.
About Robert Ramsey
Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

7/15, but nearly all of them were guesses except for Knack and Marvel Ultimate Alliance!
Only 5 for me. The less said the better.
6 and all but knack and cod ghosts were guesses haha... Tough quiz
7/15 for me, with a lot of guesses.
Managed 11, better than my average for these quizzes. Should have thrown some in for the PSP and Vita!
I got the easy one Knack, random picks on everything else got me 4/15.
11/15. I only knew the tekken one because there where 2 health bars on each side which one TTT has. Besides that I knew most from watching a lot of collection and retrospective videos and the ps3 and ps4 ones I knew because I got the ps4 at launch and because ps3 is my favorite home console.
Mocking us with Yakuza Ishin 😭😭😭
I don't even know what half of these are lol
3/10 I feel dumb
This just shows me how often launch games fade into obscurity. Almost everything except the PS4 ones were guesses.
Ridge Racer needs a comeback!
8 for me. Not that bad lol.
13/15
Number 7 was hard AF
Battle arena Toshinden!!
I had that and Wipeout as my first PS1 games, I couldn't believe how amazing the graphics were!
10/15 best I ever done in one of these, I must pay more attention at the beginning of each generation!
13/15. 3 and 11. Knew it was Dead or Alive but didn't it expect it to be called 'Hardcore', too on the nose.
14/15 Only Crime Crackers I got wrong.
Also Knack Bandicoot? Seriously!
10/15 but all it boils down to is PS5 is about to have the best launch lineup and year # 1 in Playstation history...Can't wait to see reviews of launch day!
11/15, I forget some of ps2 and ps3 launch games, I do remember most of psone and ps4 games though 😃
10. How did I forget about Evergrace tho. I played it at a mates house loads.
10/15 but most were lucky guesses!
11/15 i few gambles and a lot of games i have never seen.
13/15 missed evergrace and ryu ga gotoku ishin. I would have disgraced my family if I missed the 2 I worked on.
11-15 not bad at all if I do say so myself!
13/15
Did better than I would have thought!
10/15!
The Japanese ones got me, but the PS1 releases, no problem!
9/15
That's the best I've ever done on one of these quizzes!
13 out of 15 playays.word up son
8/15..pretty good..for me.
12/15 why do I always remember the "unimportant" stuff
2 correct answers on one question and I still get it wrong haha
Managed 6/15.
Keep the quizzes coming boys!
You scored 10 out of 15.
8/15, could've been 9, the first one - Tonshiden yet chose Soul Edge. This quiz just reminded me I used to own Def Jam Icon 😆 I totally forgot 😆 it was okay but Fight for NY was the best. I had NBA Street Homecourt too. EA Sports BIG was one of the best things that ever happened! Bring back EA Sports BIG!
Nearly spat my drink out with Knack Bandicoot
10/15
I can live with that
12/15. Some luck, some knowledge.
12 out of 15.
Come on what a result!
Hi there fellow gamers. You scored 12 out of 15.
11-15: Day One Deity
Not bad. Got the COD and the Gundam wrongs, but they all look the same to me 😜
Didn´t know about Crime Crakers though. Sounds fun.
Not every launch game is a show stopper, but I loved TTT for the PS2.
Heck, I bought the game before I had the system. I used to look at the back dvd case being at awe with the graphics at the time as well as the game manual......
Do you guys remember game manuals? That used to be a thing. Getting some snipets of the story, characters, how the game plays and all that..... Good old times.....
Anyway, cheers, stay safe out there and happy gaming to us all
14/15 Crime crackers did me bad, I initially read it as crime crickets which I think is a better name.
7/15, not bad as I don't live in Japan or the USA.
10/15 Basically had zero luck with guessing, but I knew all 10 I got correct.
The japanese ones were though, idc about cod, I rushed my answer for doa2 (should have recognized the character) and I missed the ps1 jet game.
I should have stay with my gut instinct. These obscure PS1 games always have the most drab names ever.
10/15 for me. I did pretty well ☺️
6/15. I think it really shows that PS4 is my first Sony console. I mean, I've played them all but never owned them.
8-15... Traditionally launch titles are often not the most memorable games of a generation, so i blame someone else..😁
If the poll handled only the N64 i would have scored a perfect 10/10, since it launched with only two games.. AAA-stuff too, Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64 are both classics! Such a great strategy, who wants cross-gen third party stuff that's average at best? No idea which game to choose for the PS5, Miles Morales probably but out of misery for sure.
11 of 15. Evergrace, Crime Crackers, Ryu and Air Combat all stumped me. Never heard of any of them
9/10.
Some of this messed me up. Yakuza in particular was brutal.
Four out of fifteen. Hooray.
