So why talk about it now and why here? Well…we just finished the Castlevania Challenge with the completion of Lords of Shadow last weekend (we played them all in order of release starting with the original). What was just something fun to do became a serious study of the history of game series’ roots, a study in their progression and as a result, a much better understanding of our favorite hobby. What was just the Endless Setlist became the Mega Man challenge (1-10), the Final Fantasy Challenge (1-6), the Castlevania Challenge (all Castlevania games). What was just watching DBZ became all of DB, DBZ, DBGT (and all of the movies), Escaflowne, Berserk, Man vs. Anything that goes on the table gets finished. How many damn games has Jon played that I didn’t even know existed, and how could I ever have found them on my own? That shit doesn’t matter any more. How long had I suggested to him to borrow my copy of Vagrant Story? I dunno, probably years. To a certain extent I think we owed it to each other to make the other do some of these things. We DID watch all of DBZ, we DID beat the Endless Setlist. To call our weekly Saturday event rewarding would be an understatement. Two years ago today I doubt either of us thought that we would have taken the initiative as far or long as we have.

Obviously, nobody has played EVERY great game or seen every great movie or TV show, but what we’ve been able to do was at least guarantee that we both knew what each other considered to be the great things. What this idea evolved into was a very serious commitment to continue taking each others suggestions and promise to fulfill them no matter what (and do them together, one guiding the other, or in the case of new things to both of us switching off every half hour). The genesis of this train of thought sits somewhere between finally deciding to take the time watch Dragon Ball Z from beginning to end (I had seen it, he hadn’t) and wanting to complete the Endless Setlist in Rock Band together. Since starting this adventure over two years ago we have suggested things to each other that we would easily have never done on our own. My friend Jon ( Why Modern Video Games Suck) and myself have set up an initiative that lets us help each other play/watch/do a thing that we feel one or both of us needs to make sure we experience. The games in the list are in alphabetical order for your viewing pleasure. If you discover a game does not support dualshock 1 controllers, post in this thread as well to let us know. If you guys own a dualshock 1 and discover a game that also works with dualshock 1, post in this thread and I will add that game to the list. I have personally tested about half of these. So here is an in progress list of which games do work with it and which games do not work with a dualshock 1 controller.

List of PS2 games that work with a dualshock 1 controller
The dualshock 1's buttons are not pressure sensitive, so the slightest press moves them down and lets the game recognize this. This can add cool features in some games (and is why some games do not support dualshock 1 controllers, but for many all it means is that now you have to jam down on the face button really hard to get it to recognize you are pushing it in. The buttons on ps2 controllers are all squishy because they are pressure sensitive. To me, the movements of the analog sticks feels a lot more fluid and smooth and I notice a big difference in first person shooters especially when I substitute the dualshock 2 with a dualshock 1.Ī dualshock 1 is also beneficial because unlike a dualshock 2 it does not have squishy analog buttons. I find that they wear out a lot slower than their Playstation 2 controller big brother. The analog sticks especially are why I prefer the dualshock 1 over the dualshock 2. Well I find that they are built a lot better that dualshock 2s for the Playstation 2. Why would anyone even care about dualshock 1 controllers working on a PS2 some of you make be thinking? It is completely dependent on the games though, so some work with the dualshock 1 while others do not. Many of you might now know this, but the dualshock 1 controller for the Playstation 1 works with many games on the Playstation 2.
