Ghost in the Shell (PS) thread

Lets discuss this underrated classic for the original Playstation.
So, just to settle this once and for all: the MC (the Rookie) is NOT Togusa, despite the confusion led by the localization booklet. There's several instances during cutscenes where Togusa is there and they explicitly talk to the rookie, who is another character. Basically you never see the MC, it's supposed to be your own self-insert. You only see the fuchikoma.
Also, wow, did anyone see speedruns of this game? So cool, should be a more popular game for speedrunners. Surprised it was never on any soeedrunning event, but maybe it's better that way.

Aliexpress, gogamegeek, litnxt, keepretro, mechdiy, Anbernic/retroid store

>What to know about brands
Retroid: Well built, powerful, but expensive (100$+)
Anbernic: Balance between price, power and build quality. Just avoid the RG Nano
Powkiddy: Cheap, low quality builds, interesting shapes (square, clamshell, big screen)
Miyoo: One hit wonder
Game Console: Copycat popular products with lower prices, better specs, but weaker build qualities
TrimUI: Good build quality, shitty software with no good CFW alternatives

>How do I get games
Google: tiny best set
