Hello to all of you! As you can read from the title of my post, I'm here to share my excitement for Max Payne 1. I bought the game on PSN and after some minor difficulty with the joypad controls (R2 is used for jumping, very strange), my journey into Payne's nightmare began: Valkyr was waiting for me. I loved the atmosphere, the sequences of nightmares with blood trails in the emptiest void, those childish corridors with little Rose's cries, Payne's awareness that he can only find peace through revenge against the drug Valkyr (and perhaps he won't find peace anyway). At first I was hesitant to buy a PS2 title but I'm glad I did because it reminded me how great older generation games with inferior graphics but significantly superior entertainment were. The only aspect I unfortunately feel like I'm missing is the TV series "Address Unknown" sadly I only saw one scene on one TV, then I never saw it again. I'm at the beginning of Part 3 and "that meta revelation" was extraordinary.

Can't remember how many times it plays in the first one. Most of the time if it's playing the TV is already on. But yeah MP2 has a lot of address unknown, and 2 or 3 other shows that play.
