>Colony Wars, not really obscure I guess.

to be fair, It took me a month to find the name of pic related, based of of nothing but me remembering playing the first level when i was six.

>First PS1 game you ever played?
Probably Abe's Oddysee or CMR 2.0, not sure.
>Absolute favorite game?
I just totally adore the first Parasite Eve. That or Gran Turismo 2
>That obscure game you love but doesn't get enough love on the internet?
I rarely see Shadow Tower mention anywhere. It's far better than the King's Field games on the PS1.
>Currently playing?
CTR for the first time. Somehow it flew under my radar,but it's amazing

>Tekken 3
>Final Fantasy IX
>Gekido: Urban Fighters (at least this was really obscure shit in Finland, didn't find anything about it as a kid but beat the shit out of it with my friend)
>Xenogears

>>3183241
damnit, i thought you finally found what I had lost.

Ps1 demo disc, vertical shootem up, had 2 player capability. that's all I remember. maybe 3d polygons for player/enemy ships. the space cover art really really feels close.

>>3183218
It was either rayman or FF7. I was so young I barely remember, when did Crash Bandicoot come out was that launch window?

>>3183218
FFT
DW7
Theres nothing obscure about psx it is perhaps the most well known well marketed well branded mainstream gaming toy known.
I am currently considering playing DW7 again

In fact, it's getting back into Tactics that made me develop a whole new appreciation for it. When I first played it back in the day I thought it was slow and the story impenetrable. Now I can appreciated that I was a snot-nosed teenager who liked angsty, edgy heroes instead of gritty warfare and realpolitik.

>first

>>Absolute favorite game?
Armored Core : Project Phantasma
Don't know why but I loved this game forever
>>That obscure game you love but doesn't get enough love on the internet?
Descent Maximum. Totally expect to get shit on for this one, however as someone who grew up playing the Descent series on pc with just a 2 button joystick, being able to fully control my craft without using a dozen other keyboard keys felt like a godsend. Plus something just felt right being able to control the ship with both sticks and fire with shoulder buttons.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Doing a Castlevania series playthrough right now, just happen to be going through SOTN right now.

>First PS1 game you ever played?

Battle Arena Toshinden.

>Absolute favorite game?

Hard to say, but if I'm forced I'd probably pick Resident Evil 1.

>That obscure game you love but doesn't get enough love on the internet?

Ghost in the Shell, probably not really obscure but it's rarely discussed.

>Currently playing?

Breath of Fire II. This time I'll beat the damn desert.

>>3184197
That should be Breath of Fire III of course.

>>3183218
>First PS1 game you ever played?
Probably a demo disc at a friend's house

>Absolute favorite game?
Star Ocean 2

>That obscure game you love but doesn't get enough love on the internet?
Trap Gunner

>Currently playing?
Mega Man Legends, though I think I've replayed this one enough and will probably replay MML2 instead. Or maybe Jackie Chan Stuntmaster.

>First PS1 game you ever played?
Alien Trilogy and Jumping Flash 2
>Absolute favorite game?
If it just have to be one, SOTN.
>That obscure game you love but doesn't get enough love on the internet?
Ghost in the Shell.
>Currently playing?
Nothing for PS currently.

>First PS1 game you ever played?
Onimusha, or SSX
>Absolute favorite game?
FF Tactics,Resident Evil 2,SOTN, WCW vs the World. I can go on all day. Great library.
>That obscure game you love but doesn't get enough love on the internet?
I'd say Vagrant Story. Outside of /vr/ I dont see it get much love.
>Currently playing?
Breath of Fire III, and FF Hactics hardtype.

>either Crash Bandicoot or Star Wars: Dark Forces
>Super Bust-A-Move 2 or Twisted Metal 2
>Jersey Devil
>King's Field (JP) and Super Bust-A-Move 2 (forever a staple on my emulation system of choice)

I started collecting for the PSX recently and finally snagged a few gems, but I'm curious: Is Valkyrie Profile worth buying? I know it's astronomical in price nowadays.

>1st
The first I can remember is Yu Gi Oh Forbidden Memories but I'm sure it could've been something else. Fine details like that aren't easily recall-able.

>Favorite
Final Fantasy Tactics without a doubt.

>Personal Gem
Command and Conquer: NOD disc or Tomba!

Growing up, I was the only one interested in vidya in a family of 5. I wasn't able to convince my mom to buy me a new system every couple of years or so, so Playstation is one I just decided to pass up on. Years alter, I'm finally getting caught up and playing some of those PS1 games my friends were always talking about. Started FF7 a while ago, it's slow going, but I'm enjoying it. Materia system is fun, music is great, and I'm a sucker for some nice, pre-rendered backgrounds. It's pretty comfy to come home after a long day at work and just let a game absorb me for a few hours. I'd forgotten what that was like.

Besides FF7, my queue is:
>FF9
>Grandia
>Symphony of the Night
>Harvest Moon: Back to Nature (I loved HM64 and was jealous of my friend who was playing both of these at the same time)
>Rayman
>Wild Arms
>Chrono Cross
A lot of JRPGs, I hated them as a kid, but finally got into them with age, and I realize the PS1 has a lot of acclaimed ones. I know people will likely suggest MGS and Resident Evil, but those just aren't my kind of games. I'd give Crash Bandicoot a try, but I really think it looks like hot garbage.

>grew up with N64/Gamecube
>recently came into posession of a PS2 and Component cables
>able to pirate PS1 and PS2 games with Free McBoot

I plan on building my collection, physically, as money comes in and I can, but in the mean time, FREE GAMES.

As a Nintendo Kid, I missed out on all Playstation 1 games, and now I'm diving in. What games are amazing that I've missed? Already have the Crash games on my list.

>>3183218
First game was Crash 2, favourite would be probably the Oddworld series. That's today, but 5-10 years ago I'd probably say Final Fantasy VII.

One game that doesn't get much recognition nowadays, and one that I really liked, was Critical Depth, an underwater mix of Twisted Metal and Descent. Campy, 50s sci-fi plot, nice soundtrack, partially destructible environments and a varied roster of characters. Also the first Tomba, an obscure Jap platformer.

As for games that I'd like to see translated - Mizzurna Falls, a Twin Peaks-inspired adventure game with an open world.

>>3185891
If you like hand-crafted platformers dripping with unique sci-fi atmosphere, play Oddworld. Easily one of the best platformers/puzzle games of the late 90s.
