Relive the Magic: PlayStation Gamer Shares Iconic PS2 Save Icons - A Nostalgic Blast from the Past!

Highlights

PlayStation fans reminisce about the iconic memory card save icons from the PlayStation 2, sparking nostalgic memories of the console's popularity.

The PlayStation 2 gained popularity for its affordable price and ability to play PS1 games, making it a favored choice among consumers. Additionally, it was widely recognized as a popular DVD player.

A Reddit user recently posted an image featuring a collection of more than a hundred distinctive PS2 save icons, which also showcased rare icons from games such as Bully. The post received praise and admiration from fellow fans of the gaming console.

A PlayStation aficionado evoked nostalgia among gamers by sharing an image of the iconic memory card icons from the PlayStation 2, which represented the saved data of numerous games. This sparked a wave of memories from other PlayStation enthusiasts, reminiscing about the console's overwhelmingly popular era in the 2000s.

With an extensive library of games, the PlayStation 2 stands as one of the highest-selling consoles in history. While it spearheaded Sony's foray into online gaming, the PS2 gained recognition for its affordability as a DVD player, priced at an initial $300, and its compatibility with a wide range of PS1 games, memory cards, and accessories. To access their memory card data, PS2 users could boot up the console without inserting a disc, select the browser option, and then choose the desired memory card for review. While the PS2 boasted an impressive array of games, certain game save icons garnered particular attention.

On Reddit, a user named sworedmagic shared an image on the Gaming subreddit featuring more than a hundred unique save icons for the PlayStation 2 (PS2). The top row of the picture showcased icons from popular PS2 games developed by Square Enix, including Final Fantasy 10, Kingdom Hearts, and Dragon Quest 8. Following this pattern, the OP organized the subsequent rows of icons by genre, with RPGs and Action games occupying the upper positions and Sports games placed toward the bottom. The OP specifically mentioned posting icons from games like Devil May Cry, Ape Escape 2, and Onimusha at the bottom, as those games were "facing deletion" according to the OP's own words. Additionally, nestled in the bottom right corner of the image, were the icons representing cheat devices such as Game Shark, Action Replay, and XPort, collectively referred to as the "cheater's shame corner".

While the majority of the icons featured well-known titles from the PS2 era, the OP's image prominently displayed the save icon from the game Bully in the center. Regarded as one of the most elusive PS2 games in the market, Bully has attained a cult following among Rockstar Games enthusiasts. Users on Reddit expressed gratitude towards sworedmagic for sharing the post. Although the post covered only a fraction of the vast library of games available on the PS2, some users took the opportunity to mention their personal favorite icons.

Even with the release of three newer consoles, Sony still pays tribute to the PS2 era by offering PlayStation Plus Premium titles every month. The upcoming titles for Sony's service remain a mystery to everyone.
