My Playstation1 RIP
I still have my Playstation 1 from years ago. Once a year or so I'll dig it out to play GranTurismo or CrashBandicoot.
It's been a while since my last session with it.
Yesterday my niece discovered it, and wanted to play Crash'
Blew off the dust, hooked it up, popped in the disc, and nothing happened. Well, the "read from memory card? or play CD?" screen came up. But no Bandicoot.
After quite a bit of fiddling, including opening the case and poking at the switches, I've concluded that the motor that spins the CD is toast. It seems to try to spin up, but coughs, then peters out.
Too bad.
Time to upgrade.
