A fan of the PlayStation 2 has decided to show off their impressive custom-made cabinet that is dedicated to displaying games from that console. Although the console is over 20 years old, the PlayStation 2 holds a special place in the hearts of many players who either started gaming on the system or had their tastes defined by it, and it is sweet seeing passionate fans share their love for it.
One of the reasons the PlayStation 2 is as revered as it is comes from the system having an extensive library of games ranked among the greatest of all time. As one of the longest-lasting systems due to its gargantuan sales and fantastic library, the PlayStation 2 helped define its generation of consoles with titles such as Final Fantasy 10 and Grand Theft Auto 3 paving the way for trends in gaming that still exist in some part to this day.
A PlayStation 2 fan who goes by TheStuffz on Reddit no doubt has a great deal of adoration for the console, seeing as how they made a cabinet dedicated to it and placed several notable titles inside. Based on the post, the games on display range from popular games that would see ports to later systems like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to niche RPGs trapped on the PS2 like .hack//Infection Part 1, showing a reverence for the console's library as a whole.

Users commenting on the post have also expressed adoration for the system and its games or reflected more generally on nostalgic memories. The top comment compared seeing the cabinet to going to the store with parents to pick up a game and reading the manual on the way home. A notable reply commends the representation of the video game adaptation of the popular anime Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex because TheStuffz took time to respond and talk about their love for the entire franchise and also playing the game's demo quite a bit.
Despite its legendary library and fondness in the hearts of many, it is unfortunate that Sony is doing little to preserve games on the PlayStation 2. Several classics from the PlayStation 2 can be downloaded on PS Plus Premium, but the offerings are few and do little to show how extensive and full of quality titles the console's library was. Still, it is heartwarming to see the dedication from fans like TheStuffz as they do a wonderful job preserving the legacy of an amazing console.
