Tomba, Running Wild, Crash Team Racing, Armored Core 2

[Anonymous No.1185042]

Jumping Flash 1&2 - awesome first person 3D platformers, actually done well. You're a mechanical bunny rabbit. They're actually REALLY good at letting you do some fun and precise platforming in huge 3D spaces, great games.

Tomba 2 - a couple of people have mentioned the first one, I haven't played it but 2 is a fucking classic in my mind. Awesome platforming, fun puzzles and environments and adventure and weapons/equipment to play around with. A ton of sidequests and shortcuts around the world, you'll spend a lot of time later on looking around for those nooks and crannies that went unexplored earlier or getting into those hidden, hard-to-reach areas. Ton of fun, very well put-together, very satisfying.

The Divide: Enemies Within - My favorite Playstation game that nobody has played. It's basically a (successful imo) attempt at making Super Metroid in 3D. Rips off a lot of concepts but you're still running and gunning in neat alien environments in a non-linear progression, grabbing powerups and equipment that allow you to explore more and more areas.

Shadow Tower - King's Field spinoff (more-or-less, all these games lead up to Demon's/Dark Souls), first person real time dungeon crawl/RPG that leaves it all up to you. Another non-linear game, you'll often find yourself knee-deep in the shit with a lot of loose ends to tie together and tough decisions to make regarding your survival. Fun as hell if you can get used to the controls and enjoy hard dungeon crawling. And dying.

All those great titles from Crystal Dynamics, before being acquired and fucking ruined by Eidos.

>The Raiden Project

My personal favourites.

- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, the best Castlevania of all time in my opinion.
- Brave Fencer Musashi.
- Suikoden 1 and 2.
- Digimon World. This one is not for everyone since training your mon is somehow tedious if you are not a fan of the series. Its also quite buggy.
- Digimon World: Digital Card Battle. My favorite Digimon game.
- Monster Rancher 2.
- Monster Rancher Battle Card: Episode 2. (the first game is on GB)
- Dino Crisis 2. Not as "survival horror" as the first one, but really good, and i personally think that its better than the first one, but mainly because i really like arcade games.
- Both Gex games
- Heart of Darkness
- The Last Blade. If you watched or read Rurouni Kenshin, its somehow set in that historical period of Japan but with monsters, magic and that stuff.
- Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, and MvC. The first one has more characters but you can´t switch characters in story mode, also it has a really hard final boss.
- Medal of Honor and MoH: Underground.
- Oddworld: Abe´s Exoddus.
- Pocket Fighter
- Megaman/Rockman 8. Although most people didn´t like it, i did.
- Megaman/Rockman X4
- Spiderman.
- Spyro 2: Ripto´s Rage
- Syphon Filter
- Tarzan
- Threads of Fate/Dewprism
- Tomba 2
- Toy Story 2
- Vagrant Story

Extremely tense and difficult horror survival/puzzle game. You're playing a kid named Rion who takes drugs to get psychic powers. These drugs are slowly killing him, but are required to be able to allow him to defend himself. There are pills to cancel out overdoses ("shorts") but they are rare. Items do not respawn, but enemies do. Very unique charge attack system and beautiful music. NOT FOR NOOBS. Pic related: Rion is "shorting"..

> Soul Edge (Soul Blade)
The actual first game in the Soul Calibur series. Plays surprisingly smooth for it's age. If you like Soul Calibur series, this is worth owning.

> Point Blank Series
It's a non-violent shooter. Wait, this is a GOOD thing. It's actually pretty challenging on hard modes, fun on easy modes, and great all around with colorful characters and nifty shooting puzzles. Try this out once you're tired of "Kill all the guys" type shooting games.

Love Eternia as well, but I honestly never found the voices to be that bad in the English dub. Sure, they weren't great, but considering when it came out, and the facts that (as far as I know) Namco initially didn't want to localize it anyways, wasn't sure how well English voicing would go over with fans, hired off the streets to save money, and gave the "voice actors" poor direction. But for the most part the people doing the voicing at least try to make it work, and apparently someone wound up liking Reid's actor, as he went on to voicing Sly Cooper a few years later. Actually found a good deal of charm to the dub for what it was, but maybe that's just because I tend to at least tolerate dubs as long as they aren't complete garbage, such as Phantasia GBA's being so atrocious some years later.

Anything and everything Square Enix put out. Special mention goes to Einhander, Legend of Mana, and Final Fantasy 9. Square was knocking them out of the park, on the Playstation. almost every thing they put out was an instant classic

I have a particular love for Wipeout 3. It is such an elegant and beautiful game.

Wild 9:

side-scroller with a bad-ass soundtrack and a "torture 'em up" gimmick - you use your enemies to destroy traps, traverse spike pits etc

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee/Exoddus and Future Cop LAPD.

Oddworld games for when you feel like going on a fantastic adventure through a dangerous yet beautiful alien world, and Future Cop when you just want to stomp through a crowd of low-lifes in a giant mech with flamethrowers blazing.

These are easily among my favorite games from Playstation, equal in my eyes to the more "obvious choices" of FFVII and MGS. Not quite as lengthy, though.

This game was Guardian Heroes of PS1?

[Anonymous No.1201270]

>>1201035
Well, they were obviously developed by different teams, but both have awesome graphics and nice mechanics.
But while Guardian Heroes is more about RPG stuff, PB is simple and funny straight forward button masher. It's easier to play, imho.

Anyway, I get where that dude's coming from, I think that SaGa Frontier II lacks a lot of the typical SaGa craziness making it probably more appropriate for a person who would enjoy Grandia/BoF. Plus the graphics are pretty. IMO it's a good RPG if you take it by itself but not the best introduction to the SaGa series, making it appropriate to mention and consider alone.

Wild Arms 1 was my most favorite rpg on the ps1 and glad to see other people played and liked titles such as The Legend Of Dragoon, The Misadventures of Tron Bonne and Megaman 8 which I liked very much since my most favourite robot comes from there Duo =)

Umihara Kawase, a game about a little girl with a fish hook to swing with, and a bunch of aquatic monsters chasing her.

Resident Evil series and Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. Everything else is pretty much useless to me, but that's because I did not grow up with one.
The two Oddworld and the one Metal Gear Solid games I played on the PC, and they're definitely the superior versions of those games.

As for everything else... literally meaningless to me. Final Fantasy games are incredibly overrated, all the fighting games are crap, all the action games are bad, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night... well, it's just not for me, which isn't to say that it's a bad game. It's a good game, just not for me.

Street Fighter Collection 1: Super Street Fighter 2 and Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo on Disc 1, Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold on Disc 2.

Not sure if ssf2 and ssf2t are arcade-perfect, but considering the history of cps2 ports to psx, they might be pretty close.

Street Fighter Collection 2: sf2: world warrior, sf2: champion edition, and sf2: hyper fighting.

As far as I can tell, they're all arcade-perfect in this one.
There's unlockable art after beating the game and you can choose "remixed" bgm (the bgm for ssf2t on 3DO).

This was the first game I've completed when purchased PS1 this summer.
And you know what? That's an awesome shooter with badass characters, multiple storylines and perfect music composed by Michiru Yamane (SotN fans will understand me).
Gungage, despite being PS1 TPS, is extremely good one, with graphics full of details and controls, that do not suck %%as RE ones do%%.
As far as I know, it has a good reception and major part of reviews are positive, but this game is pretty obscure.
