The '''[[wp:PlayStation|PlayStation]]''' refers to the original Sony PlayStation console (commonly known as the '''PS1''') first launched in 1994/1995. The console is a [[wp:History of video game consoles (fifth generation)|fifth generation]], CD-ROM-based machine capable of supporting 32-bit gaming, and was the most popular gaming consoles during the late-1990s. The console began shipping with the [[wp:DualShock|DualShock]] digital/analog controller in 1997 (replacing the original [[wp:PlayStation control pad|PlayStation control pad]]), and in 2000, a compact version of the console, the '''[[wp:PS one|PSOne]]''', was released.
 
== Description ==
The PlayStation is the earliest gaming console to include [[Grand Theft Auto]] games, mainly the pre-[[Grand Theft Auto III]] [[Top-Down Perspective|top-down]] installments, as the game is fairly capable of rendering 3D graphics. However, whilst the PlayStation's release of [[Grand Theft Auto 1]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: London, 1969]] are nearly identical in gameplay and graphics with the [[Personal Computer|PC]] versions, the PlayStation version of [[Grand Theft Auto 2]] lack several features present in both the PC and [[Dreamcast]] versions of the game, such as nighttime lighting and [[Train (vehicle)|trains]], due to hardware limitations.
 
Following the release of the PlayStation, three succeeding consoles were released in the following years, including the [[PlayStation 2]] (PS2), [[PlayStation Portable]] (PSP), and the [[PlayStation 3]] (PS3).
