A Cool Table of PS2 Models and How well they support PlayStation 1 Video Games 🎮 #Retrogaming

Here’s a handy table of PS2 models that I just put together. It shows how well they support PlayStation 1 games, especially if you're looking to play classics like Crash Bandicoot or Metal Gear Solid: Special Missions.

- ✅✅ = Best performance

- ✅ = Compatible but may have hardware quirks

- ⚠️ = Lower compatibility due to emulation

Model	Type	PS1 Compatibility	Notes
SCPH-3000x	Fat (early)	✅ Good	Weaker lasers; may struggle with CD-based PS1 games over time
SCPH-3900x	Fat (mid)	✅✅ Excellent	Stronger laser and high reliability with both PS1 and PS2 discs
SCPH-5000x	Fat (late)	✅✅ Excellent	Slightly weaker laser than 3900x, but still great for PS1 games
SCPH-7000x	Slim (early)	✅✅ Excellent	Maintains PS1 CPU; fixes some compatibility issues like MGS: SM
SCPH-7500x+	Slim (late)	⚠️ Lower compatibility	Uses software emulation; some PS1 games may glitch or not run properly
SCPH-7900x/9000x	Slim (latest)	⚠️ Unreliable	Removed original PS1 chip; increased chances of issues with PS1 games

GEX Trilogy PS5 Gameplay – "Enter the Geckoverse in Style!" - Rich's Ten Minute Taster Quick Look 🦎 @LimitedRunGames #RetroGames #Retrogaming

🦎WATCH RICH'S GAMEPLAY VIDEO HERE👇🏻

Rich decides to fire up the Gex trilogy on his PS5 for the first time and gets stuck in the Media Dimension [LITERALLY] !

The Gex Trilogy bundles together three games starring Gex, a wisecracking, TV-obsessed gecko who battles the villainous Rez across a surreal media-themed universe. Originally released in the '90s, the trilogy includes:

1. Gex (1995)

Gex lives a laid-back life in his Maui mansion, glued to his television. But when he accidentally swallows a robotic fly—actually a surveillance drone sent by Rez—he’s sucked into the Media Dimension, a bizarre world built from TV tropes. To escape, Gex must collect remote controls and battle Rez’s minions across levels inspired by horror, sci-fi, and cartoons.

2. Gex: Enter the Gecko (1998)

After defeating Rez, Gex retires—until the villain resurfaces. Government agents recruit Gex to return to the Media Dimension. With new gadgets and a bigger budget, Gex explores 3D levels parodying pop culture, from kung fu flicks to Looney Tunes. This entry marked the series’ jump to full 3D platforming and introduced Agent Xtra, a secret agent who assists Gex on his mission.

3. Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko (1999)

Rez is back again, and this time he’s kidnapped Agent Xtra. Gex dives back into the Media Dimension to rescue her, navigating levels themed around war movies, superhero adventures, and spy thrillers. The game added new mechanics like vehicle segments and sidekicks, while doubling down on Gex’s signature one-liners and TV references.

The trilogy is known for its quirky humour, genre-spoofing levels, and Gex’s endless stream of pop culture quips. With the 2025 remastered release by Limited Run Games, players can now revisit this nostalgic trip through television history on modern platforms.
