I still smile a little when I hear the PS1 boot-up, which is probably because it was the first game console I owned.

I went out of my way to get the PlayStation anniversary wallpaper for my PS4 because when you login it plays the classic opening.

Good times.

I love that little sound clip so much. Twisted Metal 2, Tomba!, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater...so many fantastic memories.

After reading all this, I'm thinking I should buy all my favorite video games and consoles for the sake of re-living my childhood.
