A fixture in every single bloke's living room, PlayStation took
video games from being the preserve of children and turned them
into post-Yuppie fashion accessories.
Slick marketing, arcade-quality graphics and the arrival of buxom
Lara Croft, made PlayStation one of the biggest brands of the '90s.
The PlayStation was so successful it still survives today - as
PS1 - despite the arrival of its successor PS2, in 2000.
