Playstation Launch Anniversary! (Every US launch game ranked) Sep 09, 2025

Show notes

The show is back! We've got a new theme song and a whole new style of episode. Expect new weekly episodes going forward but for this first week I've gone solo in celebration of the 30 year US anniversary of my beloved Playstation. This episode is basically just me (Hunter) reading a listicle I wrote ranking the 11 launch titles for the PS1 and even though I have a lot of love for this era of gaming, most of my short blurbs are me making fun of these old games so enjoy that or not, next week I'll be back with something more traditional for you.

Next week we'll decide which year was best but for now let's reflect on the year that has just ended and determine where OGA will plant its' flag for which game truly deserves to be crowned the very best.
