I confused Cold Winter /w Cold Fear and Simpsons Road Rage w/ Hit & Run. Been a while since i played both. DOH! I always get those confused for some reason. 😂

Hi metal your right ps2 the best console for me

[@CPGrungebobGaming]

I noticed that you are a car racing person, my favorite from the PS2 era that I noticed you didn't have was Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero and 3... the non-Drift game line of games (1 and 2 of the series was on Dreamcast... and again not the Drift series). Racing the Tokyo freeway system, pulling up next to another racer and flash your headlights to race against them through freeway traffic... winner being getting enough separation, area boss racers, car collecting and out running the cops... it really had the elements of current Horizon series, but it was limited by the tech at the time to be that grand.

I didn't know the composite cable was actually giving me muted colors while the component cable was bright and sharp.

"Ghost Hunter" was always a hidden gem for me. The "Yakuza" franchise started off on the PS2 as well (great game!) "Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb" & "Mission: Impossible - Operation Surma" (Which I have never finished, either one...) are both great games too. The PS2 was also my 1st DVD player... ;)

Honestly by now the PS2 is so cheap and soft-moddable that I believe it's the best "retro console" option available over any raspberry pi project or official mini console out there. Between ps1 and 2 official releases (including all those amazing retro compilations) and emulators, any retro gamer on a budget can get access to pretty much all arcade and console games up to the early 00s for less than $50, with component output, on one of the best controllers ever made!

The PS2 is definitely one of my favorite consoles of all time, mainly due to its huge RPG library. MJR, I notice that you have Unlimited SaGa, but not Romancing SaGa.

[@PcKaffe]

The Yakuza games got their start on Ps2 and is probably what Streets of Rage would or should have been if it didn't loose its footing like it did. Amazing stories, great atmosphere and plays really nicely. Of course, today you would probably go for the Kiwami editions on whatever modern platform you like but the originals are special, and that isn't nostalgia talking. I discovered these games like 2015.

[@zackschilling4376]

So glad I started collecting PS1 & 2 games over 10 years ago. I love the systems but a huge part of why I started collecting them was that there were plenty of great games for $10 or less, sometimes just a buck or 2 complete in case with cover art and manual. The PS2 gives you access to hundred of great games including tons of ps1 games. So many great RPGS, fighters, sh'mups, arcade collections and just plain weird games.

You're truly living the dream, man. Words cannot describe how envious I am seeing your collection.

[@leeartlee915]

If you dedicated your life to collecting video games, you’d have a huge collection too. I’ve known people like this… they spend a LOT of time looking for games. It’s not some casual thing. I would honestly guess that Jason spend, on average, 10-20 hours a week looking for games. Maybe not anymore considering how many he has at this point but at one time, he was hunting. You have to if you are trying to not use eBay or something. I should state I’m not judging. People should do what makes them happy. Personally, I’ve never loved the hunt like some people. I also don’t like to own games that I’ll never play (and I don’t count popping a game into my system to grab footage for 5 minutes “playing a game”). I treat video games like I do clothes. If I haven’t used it in at least 12 months, I ether ned to sell, donate, or deem it a significant item for it to take up space in my home. Then again, I try to be a minimalist when possible.

Thank you for this video of your collection. I love my PS2 as well and Pong was the first video console in our house growing up. My brother bought it at a garage sale and we were both hooked with pong.. Then for Christmas we got Atari2600 for the whole family. Yes, that was a great Christmas! Thanks again.

[@deadgara]

Awesome collection dude. My favorite console of all time as well 👍

[@CanonGames]

Hell yeah! The mighty PS2!

[@davideblonda6159]

Heck I'll never make it to ps5 if there are still so many wonderful titles to play on ps2.Nice collection, Splashdown is so similar to Wawerace 64 but even more crazy, i love it.

[@sharebear421]

Wild arms xf, 5, xenosaga 3 I’m super jelly of your rpg collection! They’re all so expensive now

[@Deanster101]

Just started collecting ps2 games, so great going back to this really enjoying playing Zone of the Enders at the moment.

[@mattfloyd3347]

The ps2 is my all time favorite console. I’ve got a similar sized collection myself. My all time favorite ps2 game is Test Drive: Eve of Destruction. Such a fun racing game! I’d consider it a hidden gem for sure

[@paxhumana2015]

Test Drive Unlimited is also a nice game.

[@retrorated]

Great selection of games you picked out there. So many racers to choose from, my favourite being Outrun Coast 2 Coast with those glorious colours and classic arcade gameplay. For FPS games have you tried Darkwatch? I picked it up recently and was very impressed. Thanks for your videos.

[@madmoneynonpoint]

I thought I might not see a Tokyo extreme racer title when you went through your racing games but I saw a couple. There were more and I got my start with the Dreamcast original but the ps2 versions were great. Great video!!!

[@larshiggs2514]

Always ❤️ MJR’s ps2 videos. In fact, I first found his channel back in 2017 because I had searched videos discussing good ps2 games

[@axogreen876]

From what I've seen, FFX is well-liked and not near as divisive as VIII and XII. My personal opinion is that it's a great classic-style JRPG with excellent dungeons, bosses, and side content (Blitzball almost qualifies as its own game).

[@axogreen876]

That's awesome how it helped get you into RPG's. Being an early PS2 game, I imagine that's the case with a lot of people. Even though I first played FFX on the Vita, I've seen a lot of gameplay for the original and it is a beautiful piece of art. What they accomplished in 2001 on a device less powerful than a GameCube is incredible. So yeah, I can see why FFX is your favorite game ever. It deserves the praise.

@@axogreen876 I ♥️ Vita!

[@Grindhead_Jim]

Trapt gets my highest possible recommendation. Great third person puzzle game with a sadistic edge (Spiritual successor to the Deception series).

[@paxhumana2015]

The band of the same name is pretty good too.

[@austins.2495]

Thanks for sharing the collection 🤘😫🤘

[@maxmckibben7093]

My first console was an N64 but it wasn't until the PS2 that I could completely understand video games. So many memories on my PS2 and by far brings me the most nostalgia
