What You Need to Know:

  • Growing up in the 90's was an unforgettable experience as it was the era that ushered in a new wave of gaming, and many of us got to see it all unfold right before our very eyes. This was the era when Nintendo and Sega were dominant and continuously churned out hit after hit, console after console and managed to successfully capture a global audience with their remarkable content. Then in 1994 Sony made its way into the console world with its PlayStation and since then, the gaming world continued to evolve even more.
  • The PlayStation introduced us to the likes of Gran Turismo and Silent Hill, while the stunning 3D graphics took Metal Gear, Resident Evil and Final Fantasy into a whole new dimension. The folks at FunStock Retro want to celebrate this outstanding achievement by releasing The PlayStation Anthology, a new hardbook that celebrates the birth of Sony's now iconic console and its many perks.
