My first home entertainment gaming console was the Sony PlayStation. The first major game that had me, and my sister, and any friends who were over, transfixed to the ol' boob tube was Crash Bandicoot: Warped. My sister and I would play for hours, trying to one-up one anothers' progress, fighting over who had first crack at the controller as soon as we got home from school. Aside from Mario and Sonic on our friends' old NES and Genesis consoles, Crash was the first console mascot that we became invested in, thanks to the awesome developers at Naughty Dog.
PlayStation's first mascot... not quite an Italian plumber, is he?
