PlayStation Classic: 10 of the Sony console's greatest games, from Spyro to Tomb Raider II

Sony has announced it is bringing back its original PlayStation games console – to the joy of 30-something gamers everywhere. The PlayStation Classic will be a miniature version of the company's first generation model, which represented the next evolutionary step forwards from the 16-bit Sega MegaDrive and Nintendo SNES when it first went on sale in Japan in December 1994. To celebrate, here's a look back at the games that defined that joyous machine, the best thing to happen to the 1990s outside of "Kiss from a Rose" and Gladiators on ITV. This racing simulator was admired for its sleek graphics and buffish attention to detail and became the best-selling game in PlayStation history, shifting 10.85m copies and setting up a series that is now deeply associated with Sony's home consoles. Precision was everything for players of this favourite.
