Looking for PS1 recommendations. I just bought one of these and need games.

>> No.6172620

Some of my favorites:
Resident Evil 1-3
Tomb Raider 1-5
Doom
Exhumed/Powerslave
Alien Trilogy
Alien Resurrection (mouse recommended)
Quake II (mouse recommended)
Silent Hill

>> No.6172625

>>6172601
On the underrated spectrum, MediEvil was a masterpiece, god damn hilarious and fun to play, 10/10 would suck its dick

On the properly rated, Castlevania Symphony of the Night is also pretry fun, if you play it back to back with the help of tutorials to get past the impossible criptic shit and get the true ending its about 8h

Also Metal Gear is an obvious choice
Crash Bandicoot 3
Spyro

Wanna trie some of these games with an emulator any recommendations on which games would benefit from save states and if the experience is better with native graphics or boosted graphics?

>> No.6172641

>>6172630
Tomb Raider 3 and Alien Resurrection are hard enough to justify save states if you're not very good, though I never use them. As for graphics, I always play natively on the original console so I'm not the best person to answer that.

Beyond the usual Crash/Spyro/Final Fantasy stuff that you should know about by now:
>Jumping Jack Flash 1-2: very early psx titles, first person platformers.
>Philosoma: very early forgotten shmup. Mixes vertical, horizontal and space harrier segments. Has a surprisingly creepy plot.
>Disruptor: first game made by insomniac, really good fps game, feels like Doom with robots.
>Evil Zone!: fighting game that only uses two buttons. Great soundtrack and anime visuals. Tons of content and very fun with friends.
>Kula World: really trippy puzzle game. You control a ball and solve 3d mazes. Gets really hard fast.
>Bugs Bunny Lost in Time: surprisingly good collectathon platformer. Also check out the sequel Time Busters.
>Bushido Blade: samurai simulator/fighting game. No health bars, just strike your opponent down with your sword.
>Colony Wars: arcade shooter/space sim. Has multiple endings. Has a sequel: Vengeance, also worth checking out. The third game, Red Sun, is not very good.
>Overboard!: control a pirate ship and sail the seas, looking for booty and fighting enemies.

Hello guys. I know the PS1 Classic sucks, but I found a cheap one and I'm thinking of buying to modify it and add a lot of games (PSX and SNES).
Does anyone know if this is worth it?
I have a decent PC but I've tried all SNES emulators and I can't play games without huge input lag, so I'm thinking of trying a PS Classic in the hope that the emulators on it (PSX and Snes, basically), without the Windows 10 to get in the way, run without so much input lag.

Wrong. Persona 1's localization is infamously butchered beyond belief. Persona 2 wasn't properly localized either, as the first half of P2 wasn't localized until it got rereleased on the PSP. The only right way to play P1/2 is
P1 PSP -> P2IS PSP -> P2EP PS1

What are you talking about? You know nothing about P1/2 if you think I'm being elitist or something. If you only play the PS1 games, you're playing an objectively inferior version of P1 with a localization that strays ridiculously far from the source material and has tons of cut content, and you'd be missing the entire first half of Persona 2, making Eternal Punishment mean a lot less to the player considering the entire game expects you to have played Innocent Sin and constantly references it

Hell, how many people are suggesting Gran Turismo here? Not that many, but It was the best selling game and pretty much "the pokemon of adults" back in the day.
