IIRC, the PSX's only perks are a new 3D opening that you can see on YouTube, and like 2 new death scenes for Jennifer. It's your call, but there's nothing wrong with the SFC version.
Also, Clock Tower PSX fans, are you aware that there were 2 CYOA novels released in relation to the game? One from Helen's POV and one from Jennifer's POV. Helen's part was translated by a fan a few years ago. You can find the text here:

That's not what Clock Tower is. Not at all.
That said, CT is a fantastic game, and its sequel on PS is also great.

Clock Tower (Clock Tower 2 in Japan) > Clock Tower: The First Fear (SNES) >>> Clock Tower 2 (Clock Tower: Ghost Head in Japan) > Clock Tower 3 for PS2 (CT4 in Japan)
I love Clock Tower and consider the first two games two of my all time favorites. I wish there had been more games with those characters/that story line. I didn't care for GH or CT3 and I don't care to play any of the "spiritual successors" (Haunting Ground, Nightcry, Remothered).
If anyone else here is a fan, check out the movie Phenomena, its influence on CT is very apparent and it's a stellar film (make sure to see Phenomena and not the US cut of the film titled "Creepers").

Clock Tower (SFC) and its direct sequel on Playstation are my two favorite games of all time. I replay them today. I genuinely hope you enjoy the game you're playing and if you enjoy it, Clock Tower on the Playstation (Clock Tower 2 in Japan) is a direct sequel and it is amazing.

Clock Tower: Ghost Head (known as Clock Tower 2: The Struggle Within in the US) is utter shit by comparison and has 0 to do with the first two games, but it's a horror game nonetheless.

Same goes for Clock Tower 3 on Playstation 2. Nothing to do with CT, but Capcom slapped the name on and released it. As much as I adore Clock Tower, I've never beaten 3 because it's so bland.

Night Cry was released last year and is a spiritual successor to Clock Tower championed by Clock Tower's original creator. I've never played it, but I've heard mediocre things.

Haunting Ground is a spiritual sucessor as well, I"ve never played it.

If you don't mind, OP, please tell us what you think of Clock Tower (SFC, AKA Clock Tower: The First Fear). I for one would be very interested in what you think of it and if it gives you the chills like it still does me on occasion.
By the way, how much do you know about it going in?
