Guys, I just managed to get my good old PS1 back with all its games. (all of them are backups).
I noticed that most of my collection is shovelware (Disney games, movie games, etc) and I'd like some recommendations on what games to play.

I'd also like to know where I can buy a new memory card for it as I lost my old one.

And Spider-Man isn't a bad game. And I could cautiously recommend Spider-Man 2. I think it's good too but people gave it sounds flak. I wonder why....plays the same for me.

>> No.2302185

MGS
GT2
Ridge Racer 4
All Crash games (Especially 3)
All FF games on PS1
CTR
Dino Crisis 1&2
Silent Hill
Resident Evil games. I don't know how many are they.
Parappa the Rapper + UmJammer Lammy
THPS games
Syphon Filter games (though might be very frustrating due low fps + dated design, but impressive games nonetheless)
Medal of Honor games
Megaman Legends games
Ace Combat 2 and 3
Suikoden
Xenogears

Man, I don't know how many all the good games PS1 are

The Japanese version of AC3 has 2 discs, 52 missions, branching mission/story paths, anime cutscnes, and a pretty complex plot.

The US/EU version only has 36 missions arranged in a single linear campaign, and no real plot to speak of. All the anime cutscenes are removed and the game is condensed onto one disc.

American laziness at its finest. Easier to get rid of a plot than to translate it.

It wasn't just changed for the US version, but the European release too.

The head of Project Aces said that they were too small and couldn't afford to bring the entire game overseas at the time.

That is quite a leap you made from his reply. Not sure if bait or bad reading comprehension.

I remember my dad gifted me a guncon with Re:survivor and Time Crisis 2 in my 11th birthday
Also that same birthday my uncle gifted me Metal Gear Solid

Goddamn i was a happy kid that day
that said i never got too far in RE Survivor because i got scared shitless because of it being in first person

As far as my recommendation goes, get some shoot em' up, the ps1 has tons of great ones like
G-Darius
Mobile Light Force
Gekioh Shoting King
Einhander
Parodius: Forever With Me
Philosoma

and those are just a few of them.
Now some general recommendations
>Tenchu 1 and 2
>Breath of Fire 3/4 (4 being one of my favorites rpgs ever)
>Wild Arms
>Skullmonkeys
>Tekken 3
>Pac-Man World
>The Tomb Raider Series (you might want to start with 3 because maybe its 2dated4u)
>Pandemonium 1/2

Also if you know japanese there's a FUCKING LOT of amazing games that are JP only

I'm also requesting obscure games since i know the ps1 had too many games and we always name the same ones over and over despite there being amazing games that faded into obscurity

Figure I'll use this thread, what is the best serial port piracy solution for PS1? Just picked one up for 10 bucks expecting to have to open it up to put a modchip in, but it's got a serial port so I might as well see if that's just as good.
