Recommend me PSX games which aren't the big obvious titles. I don't care about the genre.

Released only in Japan, but perfectly playable, I haven't seen a single moonrune in this game.

Bishi Bashi Special is still the best minigame-based game ever. Euro and Jap only. Not for Americlaps.

I remember a game on PSX made only of mini games but I don't remember the name. There was a dancing part with a man in his office and then a boulder chase sequence...

This game right here. I used to play it do death back in the day.

It's a roguelike RPG, Pokemon-esque monster battling, dating sim and town bulding game. It literally has everything.

Best PSX beat-'em-up of them all. You could even play as the bosses.

There's a shitload of awesome Japan-only games we never got.

Outside of this board, Alundra never gets much praise. One of the best games on the PS1 imo.

Also, not really obscure or anything but Vagrant Story is great.

It is. Just prepare to get your ass ravaged by some of the puzzles. And when you're done with Alunda you might want to consider Landstalker for genesis, which was made by the same team iirc.

Bust a Groove and its sequel. I spent so many weeks/months of my childhood playing this game.

I'd suggest using Xebra as your emulator for this since ePSXe and PCSX don't really play it right. The video and audio get desynced 3 seconds into the songs.

>> No.587525

>>587462
Oh, and if you do plan to give it a shot, be sure to get the Japanese releases. They're still in English. The overseas releases translated the songs and censored/cut-out a bit of content.

Ore no Ryori.

It's like Parappa, but instead of rappping, you're managing a restaurant, cooking and serving food. It's a lot more fun that it sounds.

this. It's ridiculous fun and also funny.
