I just believe that 1998 (or 1997-1998 era, and bits of 1999) was the apex, the peak of Playstation era...And I got mine in 1998...So, to any of you who are still cows from that point, do you feel being cow now is as good or better than back then? Or not quite? Hell, I'm not even cow anymore, and I don't remember how is it like being one :( Where is my scroll of mooing, goddamit?! :P Anyways, the feeling back then was almost legendary... Almost like such bliss won't happen anymore. I know that this is a correlation of several factors, but I still feel that very year would be hard to top, and at the moment, I'm not interested in joining cow faction...I'm not closing the doors permamently, though, but now my views are too strong to do otherwise.

Anyway, let's revive some 1997-1999 memories, some of the titles may seem random for some people, but I always liked the variety of PS1:

R.I.P.

Blah, that's it for now...It's just a random and selected piece of PS1's 1997-1999 library...I could have added myriads of another titles as well, so don't get picky ;) Oh, and leaving out MGS and GT was deliberate :P

+1 for mentioning colony wars but all of those games pale in comparison to the best game on the PS1 i'll give you another +1 if you can guess it (hint: it's not a Final fantasy or a Metal gear)

and yes it's the BEST PS1 game, it's not an opinion, it's a FACT! :D

It never felt good to be a cow, sheep, dog or any other animal. But it sure as hell always feels good to be a gamer and play and respect games from every platforms :D.

I was a N64/Saturn guy back then, but I got a Playstation on launch. Other than the Crash games, Legacy of Kain, and this weird Spider platformer... I wasn't a big fan.

Agreed, and to me GS' review of it is way off... :) Loved the music, and the graphics, overall the game had so many funny ways to use enemies as an advantage or just destroy them :)

Heart of Darkness was great, it's a pity it was so short created by the now defunct Delphine software (i want my Flashback and Another World 2 :( ) anyway yes, hear of darkness is also from 1998

I love the Playstation franchise so much! But I just feel bad that I don't own a PS3 this time around(or yet). I have a Wii and Xbox 360.

devs were only just discovering the third dimension and were applying it to pretty mich everything.

What i really miss from back then are the adventure games in general, Tomb Raider, Broken Sword, O.D.T., Heart of Darkness, Omikron: the nomad soul, discworld noir, Curse of Monkey Island, Grim Fandango

Sure we may have Zelda and the odd point and clicker, but to me this was the peak of the adventure genre in general, which at the time was my favourite genre along with RPG

Omg i loved the first one, and the 2nd one was awesome too, Why can't they make a brand new next gen one, I mean megaman 9 was cool and all, but a 3rd legends would have been so much better! and tombraider 2, remember the buttler? me and my friends would always lock him in the meat locker thing, and was it just me, or if you jumped around him too much he had some gass? lol

I dont know what it was that made the games of yesteryear seem so much better to me, and I guess alot of you also, but it just seemed the older games, especially the jrpgs, just had so much more heart put into them, it felt more like they actually wanted too make games I guess, then just get another game out too make them money.

Lol, back then such word didn't even exist in my vocabulary and mindset. I never even felt remotely compelled to bash other platforms 10 years ago either :) It was just a mental shortcut, but then again if someone was a PSone fanboy back then, he wouldn't have to feel bad by any means with such abundance of titles in library.

Didn't matter what your platform of choice was, 1998 was absolutely amazing. But for the record, the 1998 PC lineup was better.
