Some good ps1 games?

Final Fantasy series, Twisted Metal 1 & 2, Resident evil, Tomba!, Klonoa...

There are tons of great PS1 games to play

I've been playing the PS1 since 1998 and these are some of the best games I've played over the many years. :P

Spyro The Dragon and Spyro 2 Riptos Rage

Crash Bandicoots 1, 2 , and 3 (aka Warped)

Metal Gear Solid

Tekken 3

Tomb Raiders 1, 2 (was my personal favorite), and 3

Kagero: Deception 2

Silent Hill

Resident Evil 2

Colony Wars

Ape Escape

also those games mentioned above are good as well.

If you can list a specific genre you like best I can give you a list of more must have games.

Metal Gear Solid(I recommend MGS Essentials)

Final Fantasy Chronicles, Anthology, IX & Tactics

Crash 1, 2, & Warped

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Lunar & Lunar 2

Grandia

Front Mission 3

Klonoa

^:shock: no FutureCop LAPD? summer_star17x

lol opps. :P

Breath Of Fire III.

Intelligent Qube.

Resident Evil 1-3.

Some games that , in my opinion, still would compare favorably to todays games would have to be games that don't really too too heavily on graphics or wow factor of being one of the first CD based systems.

Parappa is still great. A little simple on the whole rhythm game by today's standards but the songs and story are just so fun!

Castlevania: SotN. Especially if you haven't played any of the DS iterations. Even if you have this one still has more twists and turns, literally, than the great portable games.

Any RPGs? I know it's a terrible thing to say but yeah, if you've played FFX and up I might not even bother with any of the PS1 FFs.

Yeah, FFVII seems to be the most popular one ever and I played the hell out of it when it came out but if you've been exposed to the basic story by way of the interwebs than I would be hard pressed to justify the time playing through it. The graphics at this point are beyond clunky and the non-skippable summons will drive you nuts. There's just too much polish on the current round of FF's to give this one a try without any sense of nostalgia.

Oh... and can I add that Chrono Cross may be the most overrated game ever? Good lord, what a bore fest.

resident evil, silent hill, suikoden

you can play FFX and still go back to the previous FF's.
FF7 is yes, clunky and the graphics arent the same, but the story is still there. FF8 and 9 are quite probably more close to FFX in terms of graphics and realism.
FF8 will always remain my favorite FF ever.

You should definitely pick up the original Spyro the Dragon trilogy: Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon.

They are amazingly fun.

I really liked Soul Reaver. Just don't expect a great ending.....

You can't go wrong with MGS or Silent Hill as well

My favorite PS1 games was The Lost Vikings: Norse by Norse West. It's a 2D puzzle/adventure game. Personally I can stand

3D games on PS1, they hurt my eyes.

and Crash Bandicoot is a fun platformer game

but warning, the graphics on ps1 games are very pixelated. you might find them disgusting if u havent seen it before.

Try it:

Chrono Cross (i think it's not overrated)

Breath of Fire IV

FF VII

FF Tactics

Legend of Dragoon

Legend of Legaia

Vagrant Story (kind of short game)

Wild Arms (the PS2 version is "Wild Arms Alter Code: F")

Xenogears (you should try this if you've played Xenosaga)

• Metal Gear Solid 1
• Resident Evil
• Tekken 2 & 3
• Any Final Fantasy

I agree whole-heartedly with suggestions of:

Metal Gear Solid

Colony Wars (series)

Spyro the Dragon 1 & 2

Crash Bandicoot

Gran Turismo (series)

MediEvil

Here's a few people before me didn't mention, but they're all excellent games - I assure you, I'm serious about the first one...:

"REEL Fishing" - Seriously, I LOVE this series. It's a relaxing cleanser for the mind. It's about catching fish, and enjoying some time. It's not one of those loud, timed, Sega Bass Challenge type games... It's unique and magic. Try it before you laugh.

"Pandemonium!" - Best 2.5D platformer EVER.

"R/C Stunt 'Copter" - Amazing controls, unlockable aircraft, great challenge, all-around fun!

Klonoa, Dino Crisis 2, Spyro trilogy, Crash Bandicoot trilogy, Tomba!, Gran Turismo, Yu-Gi-Oh: Forbidden Memories, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy IX, Tekken 3, Gex: Deep Cover Gecko, Ape Escape and many many more.

I smell a bot. This thread was resurrected from 5 years ago.
