What Are The Best Ps1 Games You Played?

[JeeTeeEss25Tee]

Mine:

* Final Fanasy 7: most involving and memorable rpg ever and arguably the best game on PS1. I've played the game 3 times (roughly 60 hrs each!! sad I know) And it's still the only rpg that I wouldn't mind start playing all over again.

* Metal Gear Solid: this game pretty much pushed the console to its limit and from what I could remember most magazines and websites around the world have vote for it as the best game for PS1.

* Xenogear: another Square game like FF7 but this game wasn't released locally so the only way to play it is with the US version. Very nice sprite & 3D graphics, deep story line and was actually considered controversial since it made reference to religions. However I wouldn't play through the game again coz it involves something like 30 hrs of text reading . . .

* Ridge Racer Type 4, Ace Combat 3 & Tekken 3: Why those 3 games together? Simple! They are all from Namco & anything Namco touchs will turn into gold!! Tekken 3 needs no introduction coz it was one of the most popular games in arcade back then, had countless hours just learning all characters' moves. Ridge Racer 4 & Ace Combat 3 I would personally say have the most efficient program codes in them! You feel like playing cartridge games rather than typical loading screen plagued PS1 titles. Forget Gran Tourismo 2, RR4 is the best looking racer in PS1.

* Resident Evil & Silent Hill: 2 of the best survival horrors out there. RE will make you wee in pants with shocking moments (the infamous dogs jump out of window scene) while Silent Hill is just distrubingly creepy (so many nightmares just from playing this game!!) You don't want to play these games with the lights off! Trust me.

*Gran Tourismo 2: didn't like the graphic but since I'm posting on this forum better get it mentioned before getting flamed

Also few other games that deserve the runner up :

* Vagrant Story: the very strict Famicom magazine in Japan gave it 10/10. I like the graphic but not too impress with the gameplay and story.

* Dino Crisis: Felt like playing a Jurassic Park game with excellent graphic but game play too similar to Resident Evil.

* Pro Evolution Soccer (?) not sure about the name but it was the best soccer game on PSX, yes much better than the ice-skating FIFA series

* Street Figher Alpha 1 & 2: 2D sprite goodness & Street Figher EX 1 & 2: super combo madness!!!

Well thats all the list for now, I probably have missed a few but since they are not that memorable thats why they couldn't make it here

So many good old times, starting to miss my little grey box now . . .

To stick with the format you got going there....

* Colin Mcrae Rally: this had to be buy far the most realistic rally game at the time... bloody brilliant....

*as mentioned before Gran Turismo 1 & 2: "the real driving simulator"... although that title is arguable... it's got my vote as the two most defining and just plain ol' fun games of PS1.

*Demolition Derby: can you have anymore fun in a car??? mayheme and chaos smashing cars in a dib ring.... countless hours of fun

*Gran theft Auto 1 & 2: although it had really poxy graphics with a top down view... boy was it fun getting chased by police and starting gang warfare just for the hell of it....

I also miss my lil old ps1... the fun we had together ........

Some of the games that have been mentioned before

Demolition Derby-was one of the first ps1 games I got and was so much fun.

Colin Mcrae Rally

The Silent Hill Series

Dino Crisis

Grand Theft Auto

Metal Gear Solid

and a few more of that havent been mentioned yet

Tomb Raider

Parasite Eve 2 - the only RPG I could ever get into.

Return Fire - Not all that great in the graphics department, but the fun that could be had laying waste to an opponents base with tanks helicopters and APC's to a soundtrack of classical music was memorable

Tenchu

and Syphon Filter.

[Tigger]

Have to give Gran Turismo 2 a plug... Really fun game with alot of replay potential, not to mention how fun it was to drift!

[MacGuyver]

Final Fantasy 7 definetely, played it through more times than any of the other FF's. FF8 and 9 were still good as well.

Silent Hill was awesome, I actually enjoyed it more than the Resident Evil series.

I thought Ape Escape was really fun too! Some really funny moments watching the monkeys go about their business (monkeys doing tai chi!)

Street Fighter Alpha 3, especially the mode that lets you level up your characters and assign special abilities to them.

Soul Reaver: Excellent story and voice talent, awesome graphics! Still a huuuge fan of this series.

Wipeout 2097 and Wip3out: awesome, twitch induced game play and pumping soundtracks!

What about the worst PSone games? I'm still having night terrors from playing Simpsons Wrestling! That game was made from the bones of still born babies! Pure evil!

"Games don't affect people. If Pacman affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms munching on pills and listening to repetitive music."

(Well Simpsons Wrestling affected me!)

[J_R32]

Chocobo Racing

Metal Slug 1,2,etc.

Legend of Dragoon

Those are some of the good ones that come to mind.

not sure if your have these game titles here in australia though

[lordsnipe]

Chrono Chross. Not as good as Chrono Trigger on SNES but still up there.

[ORACLe__]

Courier Crisis - Where your a courier on a bike, and u bash ppl and shit, lol, good times.

[midnight]

apart from ff7, parasite eve, RE3

one of the best games ive played on ps1 was "sheep dog and wolf"

u steal sheep like the cartoons with all the acme crap, .. suprisingly it was quite fun.

[Coupe-This]

final fantasy 7 as everyone has already said, cant go wrong with figures

final fantasy 8 was aight, never got totally hooked into it tho

I loved the tekken games, so much endless fun, gets boring after awhile tho

resident evils were awesome, only played 1 & 3 ... what happened to no. 2 ? :s

cant remember some of the other ones ... meh

[Miller the hoon]

Diablo 1

war craft 2

theme park world

Tony hawk 2

Gt1 & 2

these are wied and rare not many people have seen these games

[dezz]

tekken

tony hawk, the first 1 was mad

VR baseball was a mad game

ummm ive still got a heap of em downstairs, just cant think of em!

anyone got the atari classics on ps1? thats the maddest game package!!!!!! love it

[ossie_21]

Courier Crisis - Where your a courier on a bike, and u bash ppl and shit, lol, good times.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

lol, just got flashbacks hahaha, that game was sweet!!!!

My fav games from ps1 are Resident Evil, Tenchu, Tony Hawk, GTA, Gran Turismo & Syphon Filter. Resident Evil is the best game ever made in my opinion, for what they had to work with & they made such a good game. The part where you return to the mansion & there is one of those monsters who jumps out at you around the corner still gets me every time. Now I just blow it's head of with the shotgun haha

Anyone play Hitchin' on one of the old school systems?? I think it was sega megadrive????? Can't remember the name, but it was a good game. You were on roller blades & would be on the freeway on the back of cars, & then slingshot your way past onto another one, the kind of car got you points. You could get onto cop cars too, just had to duck down so they didn't see you.

[dezz]

sounds similar to a game i used to love on atari....you had to get to school or something, but you were on a skateboard

[SC300ZX]

Ahhh I can't believe no one said Star Ocean! But yeah, everything else was pretty much covered:

Final Fantasy 7-9

Resident Evil 2 and 3

GT 2

Megaman (rockman) X4-6

[JeeTeeEss25Tee]

Ahhh I can't believe no one said Star Ocean!

Yeah sory I missed that one. To be exact, it was actually Star Ocean 2 (the first one was in SNES). Very interesting real-time battle set up similar to that of Secret of Mana. Millions of combinations in creating items, cooking (haha). . .Also has very impressive graphic that's on par with FF7. And god the music is so epic! worthy of having a full Cd collection. However I couldnt even finish the game coz got stuck near at the end, those stupid annoying creatures that kept turning all party in to stone and game over, very fustrating. Plus with something like 80 different endings with at least 40 hrs of game play to get each, lol forget it!

[D-G]

yeah ive had to agree with most of the games mentioned, my personal favorite though

Castlevania, Symphony of the Night. One of the best 2D games ever made and that i have played!

It's just such a habbit to forget the 2 because I never played the first one. True about the endings and everything, I only got a few of them...

[Rj34GTT]

Ridge Racer 4

Legend of legaia

Breath of fire

Thrill Kill
