>>617053
Is this game good.

>>617097
It's like Contra.

Fuck, I hate these threads.
You're never the only one, and everyone knows this. It's basically "post shitty games you enjoyed anyway".
Take it back to /v/, this shit doesn't bring discussion at all.

>>617113

Congratulations OP, you know you made a thread worth posting in when the complementary saging autist chimes in.

>>617112
Oh, ok.

It was released in 1999, and it's still my favorite PS1 game.

God damn, the multiplayer is so good.

>>617053
This

>>617164
It's borked though, I tried the 3rd or 4th stage about 5 times and in all of them it was literally impossible to win. This guy would kill the target. I don't remember what exactly the mission was like. But even when I tried it on an emulator with quicksave/load it was still impossible even when I kept loading to get 5 or 6 dots on the dice.

I still play it with my fam when I visit them sometimes. Multiplayer's pretty much the only way it's any good, though I still played through story mode just to get all the characters.

>>617171
Loved the shit out of that game, better than the book by far

S.C.A.R.S representin'

Loved hittin aliens with that frying pan.

>>617262

was that the game where there was an enemy that was a shitting ass?

>>617272
yup

This one was an anon's suggestion last year.

It's really good.

>>617597

Spot on, chum.

>tfw I did a thread about this game and just one guy actually played it.

If you have some people to play with you, you get endless hours of entertainment.

If you're alone, it has a 1-player strategy game.

I love it.

>>617627
The unholy twins appear yet again.

>>617597
>Psygnosis
Of course it's good, silly.

Also this.
>But wait I've played that
Yeah I know, YOU have. I have. My brother has. But guess what? I asked the guy at GameStop if it's good.
>"I don't know never played it"
I asked him if it sold well
>"No one has bought that game ever"
I bring it home, play it, get stuck on the first part, and decide to go buy a cheap used game to play instead.

>"Hey Anon was that game any good?"
>Yeah it was OK but really weird and really hard. I can see why no one has bought it."
>"We don't even sell it anymore because this branch is too small to keep poor-selling games on the shelves. You were the only one who bought one."
Still have it, still stuck.

>>617178

Yeah, the single player was pretty tough. Like Forbidden Memories tough. But I managed to beat it, you do really have to get lucky and build your character right to beat that

It makes me genuinely sad this game isn't more well known

>>617220
Oh my god! I was totally gonna post this.

Best $3 I ever spent.

>>619373
It's a storm of minigames, no shame in looking up a few tricks. It is a fun time waster however.

>>617262
HOLY FUCK!

This game was the fucking bees knees!

>>617234

Oh shit man, that damn game

I remember I used to pick the Mammoth just because I thought it looked awesome.

I tried it again about a year back, and found myself wanting to throw my TV out the damn window because no matter what car I chose, the damn tires had no traction whatsoever.

Is there a PSX videogame of a pink haired girl walking in snowy winter with some kind of power ranger powers obtained by buying some kind of gameboy in the opening?

I only played once and then a lost the game and never found it, the name of the game was some kind of "V.5"

Pic not very related

>>617627
I remember this game was bundled with that Peter Pan game where you could interact with the story using a pen, eraser, brush, etc.

>>621543

Scorpion master race reporting.

I know what you mean about the traction though, the city track (Blade, I think) was a nightmare

It did have some great music, though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iwN1s1Zkq8

Shits good
I only had a bootleg copy, You have to understand moon to play it though.

>>624819
>mfw i sold this game to gamestop for $3 because I had already beaten it multiple times and wanted more games

>>624892
>You have to understand moon to play it though.

no you dont my copy is in english. pity it always has crashed after the elevator boss though...

TechnoMage: Return of Eternity

I know I'm not the only one who played this game, but I never see anyone talk about it.

The Note

...Iru!

Devilman

One of the crown jewels of my PS1 collection.

Vampire Hunter D

aka Devil May Cry before it was made

Overblood

>>625068
had a good soundtrack on top of that it would have been a good Bruce Willis movie.I want to play this again.

>>625116
AW YISSSSSS

Although I do remember raging over getting stunlocked a lot.

>>625138
It's a great game really, a head of its time. A shame that it's rotten by bad item puzzles and backtracking due to its survival horror roots.

>>625116
Thought Nightmare Creatures was the DMC before DMC, but i will agree with you Vampire Hunter D would fall under that too.

It's tag the video game

>>617053
I've already played OP's game. It's good. So many aliens to kill.

>>617053

Oh wow, thanks OP. I had been looking for that game. A childhood friend owned it, never knew what it was called.

>>625268

Awww yiss, Grid Run. Fuck that final stage.

>>625330
OP here, I know that feel. I tried to remember this game for years.

>>625351

I didn't recognize the cover art in your post. Released under a slightly different name in PAL regions for some reason.

Not sure if I should go buy a copy, or if it's better left as nostalgia.

>>625384
Well, personally I never experienced "mind poisoning by nostalgia", every time I go back to an old game it feels exactly like it felt before. Even after 20 years of gaming. I sincerely don't a slight clue of what "nostalgia blindness" feel like.

So I'd say, play it again.

>>625413
I had a demo disk with this, could get pretty spooky at times, somebody should reboot this and make a deep sea version.

>>625121
It's held up pretty well. I've been replaying it on my PSP.

>>625413
I had this on demo, pretty easy but quite interesting.

>>625397
Nostalgia blindness exists, but it's not as prevelant as modern pokemon fans, chrono cross fans etc... Want you to think.

>>617113
>thinking "only you" is not exaggerated

>>625513
I think it's a memory issue. To me, PS1 games look and play like ass nowadays just as much as back then.

And that's exactly why I like them.

>>618620
a buddy of mine got this for christmas one year... i don't know how we lost so many hours playing this... it was ridiculous.

>>625068

I think you need a little more lead in your diet.

>>625068
>>626005
My negros.

yeahhh

also Load and RE:Load

Not PS1 but same era so fuck you.
I have literally never heard another person speak of this game.

Everyone looks at me like I'm crazy when I talk about Star Ixiom.

>Hey! Hey! What the- Hey!

This game is dear to me.

>>626059
Their loss. That was a mind blowing game. Though I sucked terribly at it.

>>625108

That game was Starfox + Resident Evil. Unique, to say the least.

Firo & Klawd.

I just won.

It feels cheap, nasty, plays bad, and I have no idea why I wanted it so much when it came out. I think it got a 3/10 in the Official UK Playstation Magazine review I read, but I was still adamant about buying it.

STRAP ONE ON IT'S TIME TO JAM

>>626057
I played ir, kinda fun, it came in a magazine.

>>625120
Vegetables, Salt, and Custard. The vending machines of the future.

Anyone else play this one? Weird fighting game. All moves were executed with the d-pad and one attack button, despite the fact that 8 buttons were available on the controller, and all of the ten playable characters had identical moves list except for special attacks, which were only different in appearance.

The characters were all reminiscent of protagonists of different anime genres, and the story mode presented each fight like a new episode of a tv series, complete with previews of the next episode. A lot of their backstories were fairly deep, and gave you the sense the game took place in an expansive universe. They had a lot of material to work with; shame they never did anything else, or anything better, with the series.

>>625068
Played it. My brother loves the game for whatever reason.
>>629147
To this day one of my favorite game soundtracks.

Loaded (pic related)
Re:Loaded

And while we're at it, I seemed to be the only person with Fighting Force. I mean, I played the everloving shit out of that game but usually was co-op'ing it up.

I think there are a few others on this board who played it. Good, goofy game, shame about the stages where you were running towards the camera and could only jump.

>>617053

>>629221
I bought Loaded a month ago or so from my local used game place. It's fun as hell but hoooooooo boy does it drop more frames than an armless waiter

>>629232
>shame about the stages where you were running towards the camera and could only jump.

For real. You basically have to memorize them or get really lucky.

>>629305
I didn't even mind the memorization so much as how lazyily designed and slow they were.

>>628867
Freaky, I found an old CD wallet full of loose PS1 games in my wardrobe a few days ago and this was in it. I can't remember ever buying it and I just barely remember playing it, maybe I'm repressing it

>My brother loves the game for whatever reason.

Because it's a solid action platformer starring Bruce Fuckin' Willis.

>>629561
Are you the guy who always post this game on this kind of thread?

Because I tried it last year and fucking loved it. Beat it sanic fast. It's really fun.

>>629586
Nah I've never posted it before, I guess it's more well known than I though

Creepiest thing I've ever played.

>>629605
Good game really. Fantastic atmosphere, TONS of backstory, tons of good gameplay ideas. But to my eyes it's not enough to make up for its flaws, especially the awful hit detection and the sometimes really hard puzzles.

>>629610
>>629605
Mah negroes, I've had a bit of a soft spot for this for years now. Deeply flawed game but god damn the atmosphere is good

>>629605
I have this game and have beaten it twice. I loved it but fuck me it screams "What do I do?"

>>629610
>>629621

Yeah, it's an atmosphere powerhouse, nothing quite like it. Back in the day, there were rumors (urban legends?) about this game having special features on the PC version, like how you could radio the scientist for help, but I've never seen any hard evidence of this.

Not an unknown game, but nobody talks about it. Essentially a fighting game but with trap combos instead of the traditional kind. You would think this kind of game would be more popular nowadays. I would have like to seen an updated version of this game.

>>619373
You haven't really rage quit until you've played Incredible Crisis.

>>617113
>>>/v/

This game was baller as fuck.

>>629605

Items. Items everywhere

Obviously not the only one who played it,but
for some reason it seems that /vr/ hates it.

>>625068
I played it,it was good.

>>617113
I am the only one here who played this game,I'm sure of it.

Guess what game of this post is.

>>629863
Didn't this game have the ricocheting bullet cheat?

Probably the worst game I've ever played. Loved the PC version though.

>>629863
Everyone played that.

Besides, MoH/MoHU > MoHAA.

This motherfucker was a blast to play with a bro as a kid. One person drives, the other shoots out of the car, take it in turns to switch. Classic.

>>629561
Ahh thank you kind sir, I've been trying to remember the name of this game for a while.

>>630030
Fuck yeah, I still remember the cheat mode code:
Left Right L1 R1 O [] R2 L2 *honk*

>>630030
Loved that game. Co-op was amazing if you had a lightgun and a steering wheel.

>>617053
Mother

Fucking

Assault Retribution

LOVED THAT SHIT.

Never met a single person who also played this game, and it's a goddamn shame.

I've never personally met anyone who's played Silhouette Mirage

>>629638
I've played the PC version but never beat. The only thing I can tell is that the graphics seemed of higher quality than the PSX version, however the aspect ratio seemed fucked up and that couldn't be helped. Probably due to me having a widescreen though.

Still the only person I know who has ever played Sol Divide, and come on, it has a difficulty level called monkey!

>>630805
I once heard about a PS1 game that had a difficulty called monkey. And I just checked out that game of yours early this morning. That's quite a coincidence.

>>630805

As far as I know all Psikyo ports have a difficulty called monkey

one of my all time favorites

>>631302
Didn't know that. But either way, this guy described the game as a two-dimensional moving action adventure game. Not with these words, but that's what he meant. And from what I know about him, he wouldn't even care about playing the game if it didn't have an "RPGy" cover, unless someone asked him to try it.

>>631335
Negro, I just finished this game last week. After actually paying attention to the story, I think I'm more depressed than ever.

Anyway, pic related.

>>630074
Holy shit, that would be sweet

>>618620
That game was done by Toys for Bob, the guys behind the Star Control games.

>>625116
Looks like it's based on the same bood that Bloodlust was based on. I'll keep and eye out for this since the prices I'm seeing for it are reasonable.

I haven't seen too many people who've played Grudge Warriors.

>>629605

I've been through this 3 times and never finished it yet.

The atmosphere is great though, even through the bad voice acting.

>>625039

Hated it.

Hated it so much, I can still remember the bitter disappointment in saving up for 3 weeks to get it.

>>631869

I got it as a present from mum.
>"It's an RPG, you like those!"

I played it, because hell, she took an interest in what genres I liked, and I'm not a spoiled little shit. It wasn't great, but the thought was there.

Later traded it in for Grandia.

>>631463
Basically skipped lunch to buy it on a fifth grade field trip. Sold it to Gamestop for $1 soon after.

>>631463
I've still got that somewhere. There's a good reason not many people played it

The depth of the programming.. holy shit.

>>631335
>>631831
Derp.
