Never heard of Alundra before now. It's definitely on my list. Thanks OP

>>7495198
gradius gaiden

Play the recently fan translated goemon game. Pretty damn good.

>>7495240
Its basically sony's answer to the old zelda games, amazing game, every few years i'll replay it. Tons of soul, you wont be dissapointed

The Japanese version of Silhouette Mirage is good.

>>7495198
Gunners Heaven, Panzer Bandit, Mega Man X4.

Wild 9 and the Tomba games

>>7495306
What's the best version to emulate? I heard there's a PSP version. Is it just the PSP emulating PS1, or is it native? If so, how does it compare to the original.

Also, how does the original Oddworld hold up compared to New and Tasty? Is it still worth playing?

>>7495240
It's Brown: the game. But also pretty good.

>>7495364
So a 7th gen game before the 7th gen? Truly ahead of its time.

Skullmonkeys
Guilty Gear
Legend of Mana

>>7495380
What's the best place to start if I want to get into the Mana series? SNES version of Secret of Mana? One of the remakes?

>>7495198
There's a few. Adventure of Little Ralph, Harmful Park, Gradius Gaiden, Korokoro Postnin (this one isn't amazing, but I still like it), every 2D Megaman game on the machine except X6 (that game sucks), Adventures of Lomax.

Tales of Destiny is an RPG, but it looks like a super-SNES game -- same resolution, same sort of art style, but more color and a rare few polygon effects. Also, real-time battles, but I dunno if it'd be your thing. Tales of Eternia (called "Destiny 2" in the US, even though there's a real Tales of Destiny 2 on PS2) is a similar sort of affair, but with more advanced visuals and faster combat.

Then, there's 2D gameplay, but 3D graphics games, like Einhander, R-Type Delta, G-Darius, and Klonoa. All are great, although G-Darius is my favorite of the lot.

It's such a divisive series it's probably best to just start with FF Adventure and then skip to the next one if you don't enjoy it. Most people think one or two games in the series are good and others suck, but which ones they love and hate is all over the board.

>>7495198
Absolutely room temperature IQ post. Please leave immediately.

Brave Prove is really nice looking

Valkyrie's amazing remake in Namco Anthology looks great

>>7495364
I don't understand this criticism. The game uses muted tones because it isn't an overbright children's fantasy story. The world is still vibrant and vivid, it just doesn't have a disgusting color palette akin to something like A Link to the Past (great game by the way, but let's be honest, it was gaudy as all fuck). If you can't see the beauty in pic related then we there's nothing further to discuss.

Tomba

alundra is such an ugly game

>>7495198
Pic related was actually the first game I got for my psx. It's a JP action-platformer where you take the roles of compy, human, raptor, and finally t-rex. Switching between the different characters keeps things fresh, as they all have their own special attributes, attacks, and approach to navigating through the levels. Collectables that can be found in secret paths/areas or that require tricky platforming and skill add a nice bit of depth to gameplay and replay value - that is, if you can actually beat the game. It's fucking tough. I think the farthest I made it without cheats was halfway through the raptor stages. The game also has superb graphics and sound effects for a ps1 game, as well as its very own orchestral soundtrack made specifically for the game.

>>7495198
The fuck? SotN railroads you hardcore until the inverted castle. There are very few split paths early on and the ones you run into are either dead ends forcing you back to the split, or they're side paths that just trace back to an earlier area.

>>7495496
start with SNES Secret of Mana.

>>7495198
>getting filtered by sotn
Wow

>>7495298
which one was translated? the jrpg one?

>>7495309
what was the difference between the versions?

>>7496825
Working Designs couldn't just translate the game and felt the need to fuck with the game's balance and difficulty making it more of a chore than the JP version.

there's so few 2d psx games unfortunately

Harmful Park
Time Bokan
Real Bout Dominated Mind
Gunners Heaven
Gegege no Kitaro
Adventures of Lomax
Rayman
Heart of Darkness
Oddworld 1 & 2
Gradius Gaiden
Herc's Adventure

I wouldn't mind playing that alternate-universe SotN

Part 1

>>7497135

Part 2

>>7497136

.webm version.

>>7497156

>>7497158
I'll add this one.

>>7497162

Nice to see Ralph get some love. I bet you anything if Ralph was released today it would be a hit with at least 1 million sales. It came out in the wrong era.

Dope, thanks for this, ideal response.

These are old images. I didn't make them. I got them via the desu archive because I remembered dthem. I hope people made similar ones for Saturn.

ya'll posting in a bait thread but at least we salvaged it. Extra credit to the anon posting games.

Landstalker.

>>7498662
Yeah it is but if you're still unsure you could always reference http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/psx/silhouette/basics.shtml for a quick and easy run down of everything.

>>7495306
How's the sequel? I like 2.5D so it looks interesting.

>>7495198
Alundra is good but it's also pretty hard, to the point where it can get frustrating.

>>7497162
>tfw soul:), I would've love to get into 5th gen games but ps1 games tend to be frustrating in difficulty and saves progression area. t.98zoomer
