About

The Memory Card is a blog about the original PlayStation era — the games, the hardware, and the nostalgia.

I grew up with a PS1 under the telly: Tomb Raider, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and a stack of demo discs from Official PlayStation Magazine. This site is for everyone who did the same.

You’ll find in-depth guides (the best PS1 games, how to play them in the 2020s, which retro handhelds are worth it), retrospectives on the games that mattered, and news on the remakes and remasters that keep the era alive.

The Memory Card is UK-based and written by a human, not a content farm. If a game’s rubbish, I’ll say so.
