PS1 Classics: Recommendations?

If you love platformers, then let me introduce you to your newest obsession:

"PANDEMONIUM!"

One of the best, most un-talked about game for the PS1, it's still great today. Works on PS3 or PSP very nicely. That's one that seems to be missing from your list, and I can't recommend it enough! Literally one of my Top-Five Games of All Time. It's $5.99 like most-all the rest of those games, but worth so much more. Please check back in after your purchase and let me know what you think!

:D

'Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver'. Incredible game, good platformer.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I played it for the first time about a year ago and was blown away by how good it is. I highly recommend it

LOK: Soul Reaver

Castlevania: SOTN

Twisted Metal 2

Fighting Force 1 an 2

Bloodrain 1 an 2

Cabelas Pro Bass Fishing

Alien Trilogy an resurection

"Alien Trilogy" and "Alien Resurrection" ShangTsung17

Yer gonna laugh, I just picked up "Resurrection" tonight for $3us...

:lol:

If it sucks, I'm gunnin' for ya, Shang!

:D

(I kid, I kid... But thank you for planting the seed for when I saw it in resale! VERY happy to have it in the collection, even though it's missing the booklet/ cover art).

Also - "Alien Trilogy" wasn't released for the PSOne, was it? I know it hit a few other platforms (like PC & Saturn, perhaps?) but I don't think the PSOne version was ever released? I could most-certainly be wrong...

... I also found another copy of "Clock Tower 3" for $5, and picked it up to gift to someone in the future. And I found a copy of "RE3: Nemesis" for my GC, as well. That was $10, but I figure, it's a vanishing breed so I wasn't disuaded from purchase.

;)

I don't see Alien Trilogy on US PSN.

Anyhow, Castlevania Symphony of the Night!!!!!!!!!! Oh, but that is free for PS+ members in NA, along with Castlevania Chronicles on the 1st.

Pretty much every RE, consider making a Japanese account as well, some great RPGs: Legend of the DRAGOON. Xenogears. On a different note: Twisted Metal 2 is also a really fun game. One of my favorite franchises. Silent Hill is also good, but I'm obviously a horror fan, dunno about you.

Get Spyro the Dragon or Spyro 3 can't go wrong with those.

Honestly I love all 3 of the first games and the original is still my favorite.

Nobody seems to remember that hidden sleeper gem 'Tomba!' While the cheapest price for this used is going for about $60 on Amazon, this is one of the best platformers on the PS1. It combined platforming with an extremely charming 2D/3D world landscape, also incorporated some cool RPG elements and puzzles, although it was far from an RPG game. It was in a class all its own. I LOOOOVED playing that game!

If you want I'll sell you mine for $200, complete and near mint with instructions and original case.

Oh, but in terms of general classics, you HAVE to play Symphony of the Night... it's like a law if you own a PS1. Also Resident Evil 1 through 3 are musts (especially RE2, and if you can get your hands on RE1:The Director's Cut, even better). Point Blank was also an amazing Light gun shooter if you can find a working Guncon. Also can't forget Tomb Raider 1 and 2 (3 was kinda sucky). Then there's of course Metal Gear Solid 1. Most of these can be found pretty cheap on Amazon as used items.

My other favorites were Nightmare Creatures, Gran Turismo 2, Tekken 3, and Einhander is another space shooter classic (but that's also a rare one, going for about $45 used on Amazon as starting price... but again, I can sell you my near mint copy for about $200, lol)

Metal Gear Solid

Twisted Metal 1 and 2

Resident Evil series (though only if you can stand incredibly dated gameplay, more then usual)
