So it's 20 years since the PlayStation Portable hit PAL markets (yeah, almost a year after its Japanese launch), and as a mid-20-something at the time, it got a lot of use during my work commutes over the next few years.

So let's dive in and check out a few games I Just Think Are Neat - some are long-time favourites, others are those with neat ideas that still feel unique many years later.

Hopefully it inspires you to do a little exploring of your own!

Thanks for watching!
