The PlayStation 1 was released in Japan on December 3, 1994, in North America on September 9, 1995, in Europe on September 29, 1995, and in Australasia on November 15, 1995. The system was praised by critics for the quality of its 3D graphics.
Functions[]
The PlayStation 1 is able to function as a CD player alongside being a home console. It has various related features such as being able to shuffle a CD's playlist, play tracks in a certain order defined by the user, or play songs on loop. Both the CD player and the memory card manager can be accessed by turning on the system and keeping the CD tray open or by not inserting a game disc. Inserting a disc containing invalid or unreadable data instead may cause the system to display the Fearful Harmony or Personified Fear error screens.
