Best Playstation One games that are underrated or lesser known

Apocalypse

Tenchu

Sukeidon

Covert Ops Nuclear Dawn

Tomb Raider III - yes some levels are insanely hard to navigate but its fun at the same time

Tomba 1 and 2

Ninja

that one weird kung fu game where you're a humanoid tiger

Brave Fencer Musashi

Eihnheinder

Legend of Legaia

Threads of Fate

Azure Dreams

Jade Cocoon

Deception - a creepy spooky horror game that involves you setting up traps in a castle

Dino Crisis

Dino Crisis 2

Resident Evil Survivor

Parasite Eve 2

I would add Future Cop Lapd. Top down 3D shooter with a tranfsormable robot, coop action, good stuff.

^ Yeah, FutureCop L.A.P.D. is a blast. So many destructible things to destroy in that game, and so many different ways to do it.

King's Field 1 & 2 are amazing action-RPGs that are completely unique, and 2 good reasons to own a Playstation.

Thunder Force V is a great shoot-em up with some very fun power-ups for your ship/plane thingie.

Apocalypse is a very fun over-the-top sometimes from-behind third-person view shooter starring Bruce Willis himself. Lots of different guns and fast-gameplay. Almost like Smash T.V. meets Contra.

Another game I'm thinking of right now is that ODT game where you have this weirdsniper gun helmet on.

ALso wasnt there a King's Field movie made a few years back

don't think Id call Dino Crisis and Tomb Raider 3 underrated or lesser known , both were very popular (especially TR3)

anyways, Bushido Blade is one I would suggest, its a fighting game with a twist, very interesting, although it does have a few issues, its quite fun overall.

Bushido Blade was a great concept, but was poorly executed. The round are far too short, cutting your fun short way too soon.

"REEL Fishing", "R/C Stunt 'Copter". "REEL Fishing" especially. Greatest unsung game of the platform.

I haven't played a lot of Playstation 1 games, but I like Ehrgeiz a lot (for the arcade mode, most people like the dungeon mode) and Strider 2 is a fantastic game.

Parasite Eve 2

The Unholy War?

Star Trek Invasion is another Playstation game that slipped past the radars years ago and that game isseverely underrated and not everyone talks about that game anymore. I had one of those old Playstation demo discs and it had a playable level of Star Trek Invasion.

Oh and also The Grinch the Movie videogame is a guilty pleasure game that I happen to like. I loved playing the insanely long demo of it on a Playstation Magazine demo disc.

Shadowman...but I believe that game exists on N64 as well.

Largely, I think, because games like "Colony Wars" (made by the same dev as "Invasion") already existed, and did a slightly better job at it than what's presented under the Trek banner. I'm certainly not saying the game is no good or otherwise puting it down, I'll keep an eye out for it in the future at resales because I'm a Trek fan, but I think the game was overshadowed by "Colony Wars".

:)

oh yeah that X-Files game for the Playstation. Good lord I remember seeing it a few times even at the pawn shop that I go to once every few months when I go out of town. That and the Rollcage racing game which is weird to me still even today.

Since we're still on the subject of that X-Files Playstation game, did they even film new scenes for that game or just use old footage from some episode?

All the Point Blank games (I think they released 1 and 2 on the PS). Awesome arcade shooter series.

anyone here remember Incredible Crisis? i had fun playing that.

Einhander, Wargames Defcon 1, Warzone 2100

The Legend of Dragoon

The Legend of Dragoon

BPoole96

Great game

To add though, I don't think Tactics Ogre is very well known in NA and EU.

Not sure if this is truly a lesser known game. Sure as hell don't remember any of my friends talking about it, but Gex was certainly a pretty fun game as I remember.

EndRhyme

I wouldn't call it lesser known. It was released on 3DO, Saturn, and PS1; and it garned a number of sequels on multiple systems.
