For PS1, ...

Silent Hill is a must.

Persona 2 Tsumi if you can figure out how to play the translation (anything else regarding this via PM - I think censorship in the new release makes it worth it).

You might want to try the other two Final Fantasies.

Of course, if you dont own them on other platforms RE2 and RE3. Out of these two, I would consider RE2 to be the most essential.

I highly reccomend looking into the Parasite Eve games. They are both quite different.

Chrono Cross is a highly regarded JRPG, but I wouldn't consider it "essential" myself.

If the translation comes out and is decent, I would go for Front Mission 2. I'm a little suspcious about the translation though.

I strongly advise against the ps1 tomb raiders, the controls are awful and they really really haven't aged well

That is why I added the maybe :P but many people still enjoy TR so I listed it.

What do you mean 'wut'!? Tony Hawk's pro skater 2 on PS1 is one of the best games I've ever played. Gamespot also gave it a 9.9 out of 10.

Heartily Agree, Nizmo!

:D

Those first games were honest and played SOOOOO well... Great fun. I really lost interest after those first few but they're (1 & 2) must-buy games in my book, as well.

Man, i've ben searching for a wile. Has Persona 2: Innocent Sin ever ben released in english? I want to get into the Persona series, because the strange settings of a highschool raised my curiosity a lot, and i wanted to start with the 2nd one. But i've seen that Ethernal Punishment is the second one from the Persona 2 story. My PS1 isn't modded (and i have no were in my city to do so), so i can't get it off the net.

Well with a few games involving ES I just assumed there were a handful of games that had HS settings as well.
