29-year-old boomer here. Grew up with the PSX and played a lot of games. But I want to revisit the PSX and play some games for nostalgic reasons. Can anyone recommend me some games that I should play?

Also, any obscure Japanese games that are worth a play that doesn't really require the Japanese language?

I'm currently playing English translated LSD and Policenauts.

Imagine playing anything other than obscure, untranslated Japan-only games and not posting on 4channel dot org about it lmao.

Can't help you there. Nostalgia is personal.

Based as fuck. This is one of my favorite playstation games and it doesn't get nearly enough the recognition it deserves.

I'm pretty sure that what keeps this admittedly amazing game down is its licensed status. Which is ironic as fuck.

I actually got it at release and immediately discounted it because it wasn't at all what I was expecting. It was years later before I appreciated it for its own merit.

Its related to some weird differences between dual analog and dualshock controllers iirc - don't worry about it.

Obscure, Japanese, and don't require the Japanese language?
Try pic related. It's like warioware. A couple of the minigames were cut because they didn't translate well into english, but it's still a fun experience. Hard in places.
