ONE (1997) - A linear 3D platform shooter.
Courier Crisis (1997) - A bicycle courier simulator.

>>7043517
I played Courier Crisis, it was hard as fuck

>>7042367
I played the shit out of the demo for that game.
>Pic related
Guaranteed nobody on vr has ever played this, yet heard of it.
Average euroshmup but it had its moments.

>>7042367
Tried it on some demo disc, seemed decent enough

>>7043517
>>7043641
>>7043620
Literally never even heard of these

>>7043536
Based etc

>>7043641

Most have heard of Germs but probably never played it. Ambitious title. I liked it.

>>7043689
Some gameplay.

Vigilante 8

>>7042367
Tai Fu is not weird and was quite popular back in the day.
I really liked it, also had nice music.

>>7043517
One was a fantastic game, or so I thought when I played it as a kid.

>>7043689
Is there like a play guide for that or something? It's super interesting and I've tried it before, but the language barrier was too much for me to figure out what the fuck I was doing.

>>7043517
How do you search for one?

why isnt anyone here into abes oddysee 1 and 2
this site has horrible taste across the board

>>7043620
>Read this as Retard Force.

i remember playing some anime bicycle racing game back in the day, it was a shovelware title released at the end of the ps1s lifespan, cant find any mention of its existence online.

>>7044804
it's full or jarpigs and they don't like challenging games

>>7042367
Space Griffon (1995)
Mech FPS, story driven action.
Promising, but got repetitive really fast. I dropped it 3 hours in

I have always wanted to play this shit, Iast week managed to find a copy and will play it to today.

For Germs? Not that I know of but I also didn't really look for one. There were two full playthroughs up on YouTube - one by a Japanese player and the other a no comment version. The latter was taken down recently it seems. They're not of much help anyway. Sure it can show players where to go but you still have no idea what's going on with the story. As you have already experienced the language barrier is pretty high. It's an early open world where you have to deduct from the contents of emails, phone calls and conversations where to go next and it never marks your destination for you. There's a car available to you as well as public transportation methods. On top of that, you can read the minds of every character in the game after you kill them and find out who or what they were. So there is a lot to read there.

Not a weird game by any means, as it is a somewhat janky Doom clone with a Die Hard setting, but there were only a few gameplay videos and no roms available at the time, so I had to import it. Apparently it was bootlegged as Counter Strike in some foreign markets.

>>7042367
I loved the PS1 for all the weird and creative games it got. Other greats that comes to mind: Future Cop LAPD and Team Buddies

>>7044989
I really fancy giving this a go but the price is just waaaay too high from what I've seen.

>>7042367
Euro kino.

>>7043620

I LOVED this game, I also played the demo tons of times haha

>>7045138
Yep, the game is stupid expensive, I found a copy for 60$ and I decided to buy since normaly the game price is min 80. I have heard good things, but I don't expect anything more than a weird horror game which is my thing.

>>7042367
fuck man, i used to have a pirated of that game back then and i remember liking it a lot when i was a kid. I forgot the name of that game until now. Might be worth a revisit someday

>>7045104
i can confirm this. there was a bootleg copy back then saying Counter Strike: Condition Zero for the ps1 and it turns out to be the very first doom clone i've played. it was quite competent actually but very few people know about it

>>7044804
When I was a kid I wrote down all the cutscene scripts from oddysee and exoddus onto A4 paper in the font from the box art.

>>7042367
I fucking loved Tai Fu.
Looking back it's not particularly great, but the memories are strong.

>>7045137
I was definitely going to post this, but I'll settle for Iron & Blood COMMENCE

>>7042367
I think I played this on a demo disc when I was like 11 and had no clue what I was reading. There was a a cheat button combo that let me fly into the sky.
Does anyone know what demo discs included this game? On the same disc (I assume) there was a weird russian sim-city rip-off. I remember people walking around but not too many, and one of them was a cockroach in a suit.
I think it was a timed demo, at random the game would just very suddenly shift to an image of a graveyard with a bell noise which scared the living shit out of me.

>>7045137
>These two are the same game

>>7044540
just type "one" into google bro

>>7043517
Played Courier Crisis back in the day. I remember it having a pretty expansive unlock system that seemed like a way to break the game but it turned out certain bikes were basically prerequisite for clearing certain missions, so it ended up having a weird strategy angle to it. Pretty fun.

>>7043689
Germs is a game that I wish I knew Japanese for. It looks so intriguing to me.

>>7046156
That looks sick. Was it some sort of 90s magical girl crossover game?

>>7045261
Game looks amazing really, I think it's the only Quintet RPG I haven't played.

>>7042367
your time is over crash bandicoot

>>7046418
No idea, i just found it silly how Crystal Dynamics recycled a gritty RTS game into one themed after some cutesy anime from the 80s or 90s (Not that surprising considering this is the same company that recycled Gex music and graphics for a Disney racing game, but still somewhat amusing.)
If you wanna know how the fuck i knew about all this in the first place, i randomly looked around YouTube for PS1 games until i found this video about Unholy War: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmhhANw57XY

>>7044540
"one on ps one"

>>7045707
I've played pic related and it was the shittiest fighting game I have ever played.

>>7043620
This game introduced me to the idea that disc based games can sometimes be played without the disc for a period.

>>7045640
I just saw a sealed copy for £1,400 on ebay haha! 60 dollars is a fair price, I would've jumped as well. I hope you enjoy it! Me and my friend played through 'D' recently. Its trash but we like obscure horror games too.

I love this series more than any other franchise I’ve ever played and I really can’t pinpoint why. Soundtracks are always fucking top tier though.

>>7043689
>>7043694
Some more Germs because why not.

>>7045261
Looks amazing which means it probably runs like shit

>>7048178
It runs just fine but the draw distance is low. It's most noticeable in the overworld. Down in the numerous dungeons it makes sense because it's dark anyway and the gameplay revolves around managing your torch / light meter to be able to see where you're going.

>>7048178
Another one.

>>7048178
Last one.

>>7044804
1 in particular is mentioned all the time on this board. Which is why you don't see it in a "Weird ps1 games that only you heard and played" thread.

>>7047593
This game ruled. I had my mom rent this game over and over but I could never get very far in it. No idea why I just never asked to own it.

>>7043517
I have this game loose in a box in my basement. Saw it today when smoking a spliff, I think I got it with a used ps1 years ago. Should I play or ignore it for another decade?

This game came out in the US and everything but I never really see it discussed, and I remember only one rental store having a copy when I was a kid. Was an open world survival game far before that was popular.

>>7042367
Holy fuck, I remember my mother taking me to one of those game shops where you could play consoles when I was 6, and playing this. Never heard of it again until now, but still remember it quite fondly.

This hot piece of garbage. Easily one of the clukiest fighters I've ever had the displeasure of playing. The giant claymation spider at the end of the 1990 IT miniseries had more fluid animation then this shit.

>>7049792
This one is really bad. It's like some lost euro Amiga trash, but in 3D and on Playstation. The game had all that shitty brit feel.

>>7044989
played. Simply, kusoge. Overrated cause its an unkown horror game of the ps1

It has quite the sluggish gameplay even as far as SRPGs go but boy, the translation is a hoot

>>7050270
But come on man, BRIAN MAY

>>7051139
I remember renting this and being totally thrown off by the difference between the cover art and the tone of the actual game.

>>7043620
I bought this one in a fleahmarket 5 years ago.

A rather comfy aquarium sim, has nice character designs from CHOCO. I have a copy somewhere.

This would probably be a hit among casual gamers if it was adapted to mobile.

>>7045261
Has this been translated yet?

I loved when you could invite friends over and they'd bring their weird games that you would have no exposure to otherwise.

This and >>7045137 was one of those instances.

>>7052775
Don't think that's going to happen anymore.

I remember I had some fun with it. IIRC it was the only game I used to own that had co op.

>>7042367
Multiplayer was fucking amazing. So cool building up bases and sending troops while controlling a powerful mech.

>Also inspired the MOBA genre

>>7043517
Courier Crisis is the kind of game Tips and Tricks would talk about.

>>7053810
Still want a GOG release of the PC version for modern OSes.

>>7045707
my friends had this, it cold sucked but the art direction was cool, it was an ambitious project

>>7049236
It's reasonably easy but the final zone has some extremely unforgiving platforming bullshit

>>7050270
It's playable compared to the first Rise game though, if you can believe that.

A janky and generic- but fun Diablo clone.

>>7052776
This is only relatively obscure as a PSX port. The game itself is fairly well known.

Could be a well-known game but I never hear anyone talk about it.

>>7054460
Fuck forgot image.

>>7042367
I've been trying for years to find a game I remember playing that was like a rail type shooter where you moved a cursor across the screen and you shot at griger esque looking dragons or something, anyone ever played anything like that?

Good graphics by PS1 standards.

This reminds me of how people really scrubbed the more obscure parts of the NES library around the late-2000's and early 2010's, when I started seeing more discussion on games I'd never heard of like Bucky O Hare, Gimmick, and Little Samson.

Had Terry Jones and Cheech Marin in it.

>>7054461
Good game
