TELL ME YOUR FAVORITE PS1 GAMES.
I want to hear your favorite PS1 games. I want to hear your favorite PS1 memories. I've been thinking about setting this bad boy up in the living room. What games are the best party games? What are the best solo games? What're the most fun? Tell me. For the love of god, Tell me. I'm here to hear it.

you want either a re-translation patch for the psx version, or you want the PSP version (WotL) with a performance patch.

the mobile version is actually fine, but the controls aren't as good without shoulder buttons and a dpad.

APE ESCAPE and RIVAL SCHOOLS look fun. My history with the PS1 is very limited. I have played the Crash Trilogy and some THPS. Also, more likely than not, I've probably played a few ports. I played Disgaea at one point. That's okay, I guess, if you can get over the whole anime thing. Cool penguins. I don't know.

This is one of my fave PS1 games, not because it's good (it's not), but because it was one of the first PS1 games my best friend owned. His mother was really into hard, puzzle based games. I remember us being impressed by the graphics and laughing at how ridiculous the pixel hunting was in the game. The best memories of my life were hanging out with my best friend and his mother. She was like a mother to me. Metal Gear Solid is an easy recommend though. First game that made me cry. It really blew us away how good it was. Psycho Mantis was a memorable moment.

They’re all one on one fighters and they all play the same mostly but each game is gradually more polished, has tighter control, better graphics and more features. Tekken 1 is pretty janky and has floaty controls and totally broken AI. Tekken 2 adds a shit load of new characters and has significantly improved controls as well as adding some new modes. Tekken 3 looks the best, controls even better, has even more ridiculous characters and has two whole new game modes, one being a beat em up and the other being a fucking volleyball game of all things. Think of the first free games being like Street Fighter 2, then Street Fighter 2 Turbo and then Super Street Fighter 2. They’re fundamentally similar games but they tweak the gameplay and add new things each time, and play better and better and look better and better

I would have been much more interested in the Playstation if I'd been aware of this game, but the series kind of dropped off my radar after X1. X4 and SotN are what I wanted the next gen to be. Faster, better looking, better animated games than we'd seen on SNES. Instead, I just assumed the PSX was just stuff like Resident Evil, Gran Turismo, Toshinden, and other stuff that was heavily marketted; ganes I found shockingly ugly and boring. Instead I just stuck with my SNES and PC until the PS2 dropped.

It can be really frustrating for a beginner, but once you're used to it, that frustration disappears and it's just fun. Definitely worth a play.

I'm surprised it took so long for someone to recommend it, good taste.

Your Ace combat 3 is the borked version. Go for the NTSC-J + engliah fantranslation or bust, seriously

I highly recommend all NAMCO arcade ports, especially early ones in the PS1 life, there's just something about them that emanates SOUL. Buying a CRT and a Guncon is also mandatory for playing the best lightgun game ever made (pic related), Time Crisis and a few others. Most Konami Justifier lightgun games have a GunCon patch so you can also play Die Hard 2 and other extremely cool games with it.

I hadn't considered any of this! Having a LightGun (and the games that go with it) is a fantastic idea! Thank you.
