I'm just kind of listing the hits, though.
you know, i thought Colony Wars was pretty cool, even though it was frustrating and i didn't get very far.

Is there a difference between the greatest hits and original release versions of Metal Gear Solid?
Some of these games are pretty damn expensive!
Is it weird that most of the original playstation Final Fantasy games seem to still be in print (but not seven)?
Is Dragon Quest VII called Dragon Warrior VII (anyway that's what comes up when I search amazon)?
Is the first tony hawk game the best one? or which???
― Jeff LeVine, Monday, 10 December 2007 21:53 (sixteen years ago) link
The first one with manuals.. III?
Also Hogs of War, a 3-d Worms/Scorched Earth type game... Will that one be a little dated now, I wonder?

Tony Hawk 2 introduced manuals, so that one. Though you could always just play the Dreamcast version... or, well, honestly... any other Tony Hawk that's come out since then. A lot of these examples kind of have superior sequels on systems that came out later... My opinion on PS1/N64 games is colored because I totally skipped them when they were out, and emulated them years later.
FF6/CT, you're better off emulating the originals if you can. BUT I definitely agree with:
FF Tactics (still somewhat unmatched in this genre for sheer bombast) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (still the most superior CV game, though the handheld sequels were good too) Metal Gear Solid (you must start here before getting into the rest of the series) Parappa the Rapper (sheer gold it is) Bushido Blade 1 and 2 (cool game mechanics rarely explored in other fighting games)
― Nhex, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 05:53 (sixteen years ago) link
The first Silent Hill And any Resident Evil game
oh and Metal Gear Solid for sure! - Yes yes yes!
Gran Turismo Rage Racer
― Ste, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 10:10 (sixteen years ago) link
i wouldn't call gran turismo or GT2 essential because their PS2 and PS3 sequels are basically the same game just with better graphics, so you're not missing anything by not playing them

At the time, I loved the games but I always though it was the redheaded stepchild generation, because polygons were still fugly and ps2 was the first system to look sexy. but a lot of games really did stand up to the test of time.

The PSP version of FF Tactics has a competent translation.
Soul Reaver -- a 3D version of Link to the Past, really. FF8 (but play 6 or 7 first).
― abanana, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 19:12 (sixteen years ago) link
ok Tracer i'll agree with the GT thing.
But I'd say the best Colin McRae was the first one on pS1, the sequels seemed to lose something rather crucial.

Driver 1 was stupidly great frantic raw fun, fuck the plot, bugs and crap menu system.
Second Abe's Oddyssey as well, such fond memories. Especially the speed running levels, fucking frustrating to suss out after millions of attempts but everso satisfying when completed.
I might even venture Tomb Raider 1 ?
― Ste, Tuesday, 18 December 2007 11:40 (sixteen years ago) link
I still rate it as the best TR game.
Abe games thirded - Exoddus was really more of the same but no less rewarding. The emotional Mudokens were a nice addition. Also: exploding farts!

I don't know if anybody on here cares (I don't even care, because I don't see when I would ever bother to do this, but it is kind of interesting) - the latest ps3 firmware update (out today) allows you to play every single ps1 game you own over wifi remote play on your psp.
So basically you put the ps1 disc in your ps3, travel wherever you want in the world where there is wifi, log onto your ps3 via psp remote play and play the game.
Also, I just ordered a copy of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. Watched a clip on youtube and the graphics (color palette?) reminded me a little of Bioshock. I don't think I ever played it before, but I do remember it a little...

PS1 games came with music as CD audio (track 2 onward), so you could stick the discs in any old CD player and they'd play normally.

A few I disagree with:
Colony Wars was what graphics whores of 1997 were jizzing over; the gameplay is nothing special.
Spyro gave me headaches (literally).
Resident Evil: the Gamecube version is supposedly a big improvement.
FFVI and Chrono Trigger should not be played in their PS1 versions as they are poorly emulated with long load times.

"attack"
"ghost in the shell"!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!1111!!!11
not "single cell complex" or whatever
one of the top 10 ps1 games ever without a doubt
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 11 February 2008 03:12 (sixteen years ago) link
the scenario: third-person shooter in which you control a mechanical spider that can walk up walls and across ceilings and fall any distance without taking any damage
you can strafe endlessly (even forward and backwards), shoot up to six missiles at once, each of which is capable of locking onto a different enemy
a typical level sees you in a city of skyscrapers, at night, needing to destroy four superguns scattered throughout the nieghborhood, which are protected by helicopters, fighter jets, fixed gun turrets, cyborgs with shoulder rpgs, and other mechanical spiders which can shoot blue lasers at you and also crawl up walls
strangely, the closest thing i can think of to this game is tenchu, which is all about stealth, whereas this is a full-on, guns blazing strafe fest. i think it's because both of them allow you to climb on onto roofs and both allow total freedom of 3-D movement (although ghost in the shell does have two thrilling levels on "rails" -- one at sea and one on a highway, where your little spider is always carried in a certain direction and must dodge things and rotate to deal with other things)
probably the best shoot em up PS1 game ever
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 11 February 2008 11:59 (sixteen years ago) link
another thing: this is one of the few, proud playstation games in which the training level is the most difficult and most satisfying level of all

I recently found an old stockpile of PS1 RPGs. Give me an honest assessment of which of these games are actually worth revisiting in the year of two thousand ought nine:
Chrono CrossPersona 1Vagrant StoryValkyrie Profile Xenogears
― Nhex, Friday, 9 January 2009 16:17 (fifteen years ago) link
I haven't played any of them but the ones I remember getting the most positive press were Xenogears and Persona.
― ^likes black girls (HI DERE), Friday, 9 January 2009 16:32 (fifteen years ago) link
chrono cross - disappointing, boring story with a weak battle system. not hard enough. at the time i think it was well-received but i think now the game would same extremely formulaic
persona 1: is this revelation? or the jpn version? this game is kind of a mess and not worth investing time in imo i'd rather play 4.
vagrant story: yes!!! really rad game and i think it would still be extremely challenging. and the look will have dated well. so much to do with this one
Valkyrie Profile - i dont think i ever beat this game fully. it may actually play better now. battle system is the best on this list and i liked the puzzle stuff but there are A LOT of retarded points in this game where yr stuck wandering around and need to just guess at wtf yr supposed to do
xenogears - :D i really loved this game when it came out idk its tied to a specific aesthetic that requires the player to really buy in - i can see how someone trying to play this shit now for the first time would just be O_O at the story and voice-acting and battle system but... i mean i voted for this in that 100 best poll so i would def replay it.
― Lamp, Friday, 9 January 2009 16:53 (fifteen years ago) link
Vagrant Story: definitelyXenogears: only if you have a way to speed up the text (emulator, or maybe some sort of game genie device?)Chrono Cross: I never beat this. I hear it gets better towards the end. Dumb battle system and tons of redundant characters.

Valkyrie Profile-
saw this played but never played it. seemed to have a great deal of neat things going on but I don't think I'd invest that much time in it myself? certainly nothing that fried itself into my brain, unlike
Xenogears
This is best RPG ever made for the PS1. I played through it to the end only once and would probably drop $200+ just for the game if they ever rereleased it.

My PS1 essentials (not that I ever had that much for the system) - Symphony of the Night, Parappa or Umjammer. Tony Hawk: 1 and 2 are both great, I probably sank more time into 2 which just adds TONS of stuff, but it does lose a few of the most fun things about the first one, mainly the downhill courses! Definitely need two players to get the most out of either, they are definitive dorm-hallway collective games for me.
I really loved Soul Reaver but I think I might just not have known the genre well enough, all I had to compare it to was Tomb Raider and I think it was slightly more fun than that (although less of a revelation). But there are probably much better games in the 3rd person "leap, shove cubes" genre.

Jumping flash and Jumping flash 2 are probably my all-time favorite personal cult games! JF2 is way better than the first one.
Some other great games I don't see here yet:-Ape Escape -Bust-A-Move (don't know which version we had, prob. '99)-Resident Evil 3, which has gotten a bad rap, historically, I think. The initial reviews were really positive, and I had more fun playing it than either parts 1 or 2. I especially liked the survival mode that unlocked after you beat it.-Tenchu 2, which was much better than the first one.

― Nhex, Friday, January 9, 2009 11:17 AM (3 weeks ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink
Chrono Cross - I remember liking it when it came out, it tried to do something different and had some things going for it, iirc (great music, an abundance of extraneous characters but a lot of them were actually p. compelling, esp compared with much less fleshed out PCs from games with smaller casts, like ff9, kinda sloppy overall and it admits asmuch by the end, when [i remember j parish pointing this out] [lol] it assembles some toddler versions of the main characters around the portal to the last boss and employs them as expository devices that explain the entire convoluted plot to u) - not really sure i could recommend it, but fool around with it for a couple hours and you'll probably have an idea of how much you'll dig it
Valkyrie Profile - idk
Vagrant Story - top 50 all time, any platform
Xenogears - the worst JRPG ever released in north america (keith olbermann voice)
actually went back and beat xenogears in 07 or 08, as i was cleaning up old games that i'd never beaten and my save before the final dungeon had remained untouched since 99 or 00 - there's a nice element of strategy to the gear fighting, since your attacks all draw from a limited supply of fuel and if you run out you are fucked, but the gears themselves are so powerful that you're really never in any danger. one of the most persistently irritating/infuriating random encounter systems ever, one that would famously interrupt you mid-jump during some of the game's ill-advised platforming sections. you play a guy with a ponytail, who is often naked for no reason you can discern, and whose best bud is another guy with a ponytail. filled with insidious pedophile pandering bullshit (not as bad as xenosaga in this regard). hideous sprite based characters. every smidgen of action is bracketed by hours of goopy bullshit like this:
Krelian:And what if that 'Will' itself was predetermined? What then? Oh whatfolly!? Humansare just primitive life forms that have no such thing as free will... Mankindhas merely beenallowed to live in an imperfect state... "as is", "as will be"... It is forthis veryreason... because humans have this wretched 'will' or whatnot... that humansmust experiencesadness and loss. For someone to gain something means another must lose it...It is impossibleto make humankind share limited "things" and "affections"... So I came to theconclusion thateverything must be reverted back to where it all began. To go back to when allwas one...waves, and nothing else... It is not my -Human's- ego... It is the will of the'Waves' ...the will of -god-...
that's some verbatim dialogue, dogg
positives: music, one subplot towards the end of the game references 'soylent green'
brave fencer musashi is a game that is basically made to 'sell' u on the gay lifestyle idk how else to describe it

Thanks for the opinions, guys! I definitely fear Xenogears but want to give it a shot for at least Mitsuda's score. Cool that Vagrant Story seems to really be liked, I was very unsure about that one.
I still haven't really gotten into these yet, since my knowledge is really spotty on PS1 emulation. I have to boot into Windows and use ePSXe or just PSX, and get distracted by the kajillion other games I can play. Anyone know a working PS1 emulator for Mac OS X?
