The history of the Playstation begins in 1988 when Sony and Nintendo were working together to develop the Super Disc. The Super Disc was going to be a CD-ROM attachment that was intended to be part of Nintendo's soon to be released Super Nintendo game. However, Sony and Nintendo parted ways business-wise and the Super Disc was never introduced or used by Nintendo. In 1991, Sony used a modified version of the Super Disk as part of their new game console - the Sony Playstation. Research and development for the PlayStation had began in 1990, headed by Sony engineer, Ken Kutaragi. The eventual PlayStation (abbreviated PS, PSone, PS1, or PSX due to its internal code name PlayStation Experimental) is a 32-bit fifth generation video game console released by Sony Computer Entertainment in September 1995.

Abandonware

Definitions of "abandoned" vary; generally, it refers to software no longer available for legal purchase, or of a certain age. Software companies may change their names, go bankrupt, enter into mergers, or cease to exist for a variety of reasons. When this happens, product rights are usually transferred to another company that may not sell or support the software acquired. Source: Wikipedia

When Andy's dog, Whiskey, is kidnapped by the Master of Darkness, he fires up his spaceship, dons his helmet and homemade laser rifle to chase after them. Known for its lush animations, beautiful environments and use of cinematic gameplay where pre-rendered video is mixed into gameplay. The game is also brutally difficulty with unforgiving platforming and controls that doesn't always respond with the fidelity the difficulty requires. Thankfully the checkpoints are somewhat generous. The game was developed by Amazing Studio, a French developer consisting of former Delphine Software employees, attesting to the detailed and vibrant animations on display.
