Sony put out the Premium Series Doko Demo Issyo SCPH-10020 KA white memory card for the PlayStation 2 on November 27, 2003.

Unfortunately, the Doko Demo Issyo website on the packaging from 21 years ago no longer works. 🤣

But you still get that 8 megabytes of sheer memory power, baby

The Premium Series Doko Demo Issyo SCPH/-10020 KA White memory card for the PlayStation 2 in package. Cool packaging with some of the other characters.

The series is still sitting in my backlog. 😅

Released in 2000 exclusively in Japan, this comprehensive "World Guidance" art book covers everything you'd want to know about 📚

I have Grandia III on my PS3 as a digital download (9.99). It's pretty good. Has a lot of unique ideas.

@trabex Is it a series that I should start with the first entry?

Some games can be played from an USB drive, but there are plenty that will have problems. Some won't even start up it crashes immediately, others have problems with the FMV (full-motion video) playback being to choppy ruining the experience of playing the games in the first place.
Yeah PS2 games can get really big especially if there were release as multi disc games and even some of the single disc games can go as high as 8GB, like for example Yakuza 2.

@light haha true. I mostly wanted to play dumb crap like the Futurama game 🤣😂 the USA version is super pricey.

Dommage que ma PS3 Super Slim n'est pas rétrocompatible avec les disques PS2.
Il fallait que ça soit une PS3 Fat à 4 ports USB.

@RaffdeBlois dommage qu'elle soit arrondie sur le dessus sinon avec une PS2 slim posée dessus ça faisait toujours moins épais que la PS3 première gen 🤭

@jake4480 Here's Keza MacDonalds piece..

Katamari Damacy, the very emblem of all that was weird and wonderful about the PlayStation 2 library... Katamari’s designer, Keita Takahashi, made it in less than a year with a budget of £650,000.

I’m a sucker for nostalgia but very things get me the way footage of old #VideoGames from my youth does. I spent so much time playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 on the #PS2. These videos are just pure, unfiltered nostalgia. It would be nice if YouTube didn’t require that they lose the music but it’s still pretty good. https://youtu.be/pYRcEcFV788?si=Pu_DKLkFHFQuRqyS

@MURRRAAAAY THUG is pretty good, but is it the best PS2 Tony Hawk? 🤔 I'll have to think.

It would probably be Thug from that list alone though, for sure. I think Return to Castle Wolfenstein is ok but You're better off playing that on Xbox or, for multiplayer, playing ET:Legacy on PC.

Never noticed before, but the first 2 #PlayStation2 games I owned were both on CD. I guess thinking about it, Ridge Racer V isn't a huge game, but I'm pretty surprised that Tekken Tag Tournament fitted on a single CD. #RetroGaming

@nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social avatar

@Hundstrasse I did Swap Magic for a while on my PS2. I was surprised how many games actually were CD. Another two I particularly remember were the Contra game (not bad, but I can see it as being not too big,) and a Wizardry game that is quite large in scale, but I admit has relatively simplistic assets. Most of the CD games also run great from a USB drive despite the system's rather awful USB 1.1 speed limitations. (Probably 8Mbps rather than the theoretical 12. Maybe even 6...)

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@nazokiyoubinbou i picked up one of those adapters that let's you load games from SD card through the memory card slot (which has faster speeds than the USB unbelievably!) Sadly I've yet to get it to work 😕... But also haven't tried to problem solve much either 😅.

Contra is surprising. Jurassic Park operation genesis is CD too... I guess it sounds similar to the wizardry game you mentioned in that it's quite light on assets, but feels big.

Still surprised by Tekken though. So mucH FMV

Did #Sony literally buy the Design of the #Falcon040 and used that case as template for the #PlayStation2?

I’ve started playing Winning Eleven/Pro Evolution Soccer again, specifically the 2006-2008 versions on PlayStation 2

Some of the most frustrating games I’ve ever played in my life. (Why are my forwards always offsides?!)

The big question is: Winning Eleven 8, Winning Eleven 9, or Pro Evolution Soccer 2008?

For now, I’m leaning toward WE9. PES 2008 is hot trash

(The answer is actually Winning Eleven 6)

Playing Cave's early PS2 racing game Touge 3 , funnily released as Road Rage 3 in the west when the 2nd never left Japan & the 1st was called High Velocity.
It passes the vibe check with a smooth soundtrack and fun physics that lean somewhat towards sim but keep most of that arcade feel. The controls are good & you can calibrate almost everything you want. You can even adjust the front and rear spring rates to get the kind of control you want.
