Recommend some PS1 games please.

I know about Resident Evil, MGS, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro etc. but are there are any more less well known games, franchises that are really good and worth playing?

I got a chipped PS1 recently to help play games which are not really viable to buy e.g. Harmful Park.

Thanks.

Twisted Metal 2 was a big part of my teenage years, playing against friends in the arenas. Each character has such interesting special weapons and there's also a standard turret gun that works at all times (even though its weak as hell) and missiles and other stuff. I can't remember who I used to play as, but I do remember liking Specter for the homing missile, even though it can be cheap as hell

It's like there aren't really that many original games on the PSX. There are a few well known gems, but it's like with most games, be it sports / racing / shootemup / fighting I end up thinking "I could be playing a modern game from this genre and it would just be objectively better."

If you enjoyed any of the Strike games before (Desert Strike, Jungle Strike, etc) there's Future Cop: LAPD which plays similarly but features a transformable bipedal mech. It supports co-op and a neat vs mode that reminds me of MOBAs long before they were a thing.
