Recently i have been wanting to scroll through ebay and grab some PS1 games,starting with platformers.

What are some good platformers on the PS1, other than Ape Escape and Crash Bandicoot?

You might do well to seek out Pandemonium, which is a 2.5D platformer. There's also the Gex series, which holds up pretty well despite some camera issues.

The Jumping Flash! games also qualify as platformers, even though they're in a first-person perspective.

Lastly, as cheesy as it may sound, Pac-Man World is a decent platformer.

Heart Of Darkness was pretty good.

You might want to try Symphony of The Night, Ape Escape, Spyro and Crash Bandicoot.

Spyro and Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage are probably two of the best available. Crash Bandicoot, Sly Cooper and Tomba are pretty good as well.
