A question for the PS1 fan community! I sometimes recall seeing clips of a PS1 game (Japanese I think) set on some kind of space station or ship, and between missions you could visit a small bar area. I believe someone here or on Twitter posted about it. Any idea what the game is? It looked neat!

There was a very rare and gorgeous midnight blue PS1 model released in honour of ten million PS1 sales. Only 100 American models were made. Others were apparently made for Japan and Europe, but it's hard to verify exact numbers. (Image via Coleka website.) #playstation #psx
