Top Ten PlayStation Portable Games by Genre
The PlayStation Portable was released in 2004 as direct competition to Nintendo's flagship handheld device at the time, the Nintendo DS. It was Sony's first venture into the handheld gaming market and was incredibly lucrative for them, selling over 80 million units across the PSP's lifetime.

Top Ten PlayStation Vita Games by Genre
The PlayStation Vita was released in 2011 as direct competition to Nintendo's flagship handheld device at the time, the Nintendo 3DS. It was a direct successor to the PlayStation Portable (PSP) and improved upon its design and functionality in practically every single way. The PSP went on to sell over 80 million units and had a strong and passionate player base - a follow-up then, of course, made a lot of sense for Sony.Unfortunately, the Vita only managed to sell around 15 million units and, as a result, was the last handheld console released by Sony, unless you count the PlayStation
Will ZOTAC’s New Handheld 'ZONE' Change the Hardware Landscape Forever
Gamers in 2024 have a viable alternative to PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Handheld consoles are making waves, and ZOTAC recently launched its new Gaming ZONE.What does ZOTAC’s Gaming ZONE offer?PC Guide’s recent article on ZONE compared it to the popular Steam Deck. PC Guide said that ZONE “doesn’t quite match up to its competition yet” due to Steam Deck’s “massive library of games” and relative affordability. The ZONE comes with several hardware features. Its Macro Buttons can be programmed with shortcuts, and the Hall Effect analogue controls “translate electromagnetic forces into inputs, eliminating stick drift and increasing hardware longevity” (in the
Five Failures That Ensured a Global Success for the Steam Deck
For those living under any technological rocks, the Steam Deck is a Linux-based handheld PC. It was designed to bring PC gaming to casual and sofa-sitting audiences. PC gaming, while adopted by millions around the world, is a very static and situational hobby - often lurched over a keyboard and mouse at a desk in the corner of a room. The Steam Deck puts capable PC components into a handheld form factor and allows for PC gaming while travelling, on your couch while docked to your TV, even tucked up in bed! It makes PC gaming more accessible than any other

What a classic!
The fact I discovered in the public library of my city and rented the game when I was little. Because I didn't had internet and the rental was a couple days, I made an ISO file with Nero Burner to play the game when I pleased.
I was also lucky that I bought games in computer magazines(ComputerHoyJuegos) and Quiosks. Like having: Commandos 2, PcFútbol2001, Grouch(Rocko's Quest), S.W.A.T 3/4, Patrician III, Imperium III(Viriathus campaign being hard AF), Ground Control, NYR - New York Race, Age of Empires I & II + expansions + Mythology(+Titans), etc...
I was the lucky few that managed to buy this game before being delisted on Steam for a few €uros.
BTW if you are looking for "dead games" or want to contribute on a wiki useful for the consumers of the future, the Stop Killing Games community made a wiki with all the games that are being delisted, unplayable or in risk on dying soon:

It was still in the back of my mind, too, right up until I spied this upcoming article (I am SO behind in so much I've been wanting to write ).
But I don't think I could have done a better job - I'd already had my amazing experience with Prey well over a decade before and, though I probably could have done it some amount of justice then, I think I'd be too far distanced from it now.
I guess it worked out for the best though, since now we have this tribute - and more to look forward to!
I'm definitely glad you've listed some options for people who want to play.
I have a few other games I still think about and wish I could replay (from that awkward era of Windows 95).
I keep thinking I should just put together a dedicated machine with either Windows 95 or 98 so I can immerse myself in nostalgia, but I keep getting distracted with other things.

I did wonder if you'd avoid mentioning that part, but to be honest, that's not even the main twist, and I think a story in which Tommy actually manages to defeat the aliens and save everyone just sounds generic and would put people off, so I feel you struck a good balance with what you shared and what you left for people to experience themselves.

I NEARLY added Deadpool as my 10th suggestion, but then my sick mind thought of Ride to Hell, and I couldn't stop myself!
That and it's kind of a mainstream delisted game that has come back multiple times - still worthy of an article one day though I feel.July 06, 2026 -

I couldn't pick a better home to have it, so thank YOU for the opportunity. I absolutely couldn't think of a better title to kick it off with, and it was an absolute blast the whole way through.
There was just SO much to cover here, and while I know some might say that mentioning Enisis death was a spoiler, I felt it was enough of a "lead up to a core mechanic" that I felt ok mentioning it. But by the time I got to the end of the game, I felt I needed to really just set the stage and keep the rest under wraps, because I absolutely had no clue what to expect. I wanted to be sure that anyone else who finds a way to play this (Thanks for mentioning some additional ways!) would have the same first-time experience. Because honestly, and I think you might agree: you only get it once. And I can't say I've ever had a game absolutely put me out to dry like this one did, in SO many ways. I didn't want to ruin it for ANYONE.
Thank you for giving us a place to make ideas like this a reality.July 06, 2026 -

I absolutely do, and you have a few of them mentioned here!
Deadpool didn't make the list!?
A few of these I didn't have on my list, but I'll put them down as well!
I have another mini series brewing as well (PSX Grindhouse Horror) - so I'm trying to decide if I alternate, or I do a few back and forth.July 06, 2026 -
