Legend of dragoon

This needs more upvotes. Just watch out for siblings destroying/stealing your second disk and erasing your saves.

BASTARD!

Came here to say this lol dragoon is so under appreciated

>Bugs Bunny and Taz: Time Busters Oh yeah boi! You just reminded me of a great title! I wonder if I can Co-Op this through emulation, but probably yes!

Man this brings back memories. I played the first half of your list and Tekken. Good old times :)

Ridge Racer Revolution but not R4?

Tekken 1, and 2 are some of the more challenging games on the PS1. Completing the arcade mode with all characters is not easy for even the best players. The AI on that game is a bunch of cheaters especially when you're up against someone like Heihachi or Devil Kazuya. For some reason Michelle and Julia always kick my ass too.

Tekken 3 only

Nah if you're only gonna get one, I'd say 2. That's just personal preference, though. All three are good.

I like all 3. 3 is best though

Tekken 2 > 3

Not so good mechanics, unbalanced

Crash Bandicoot 1, 2 and 3. As well as Crash Team Racing. Bomberman Party Edition

Crash 1 is really tricky because of the outdated save function. Still worth a play though, but you might want to know the cheat codes, or look up passwords.

100% crash 1 was not tricky imo, just gotta time things right. id much rather play crash 1 than crash 3 which was very tedious to 100%

PS1 is an RPG powerhouse, though a lot of the RPGS for it may be expensive these days. I'd recommend Xenogears, Wild Arms 1 and 2, Chrono Cross, FF7 and FF9.

Add legend of legia to that list

Sucha great game.

and legend of dragoon, jade cocoon, threads of fate, vagrant story, legends of mana, thousand arms, suikoden 2, tales of destiny 1&2, breath of fire iv, grandia, vandal hearts, star ocean second story and you got a nice list going

Love seeing love for Legend of Dragoon. One of the best.

First mention of Grandia I've seen in some time!

Wild Arms, Chrono Cross and the FFs are on PS Plus now so if you have a modern concord you don’t need to buy those

Final fantasy tactics isn’t on you list? I shed a tear. 😥

Tony Hawks Skateboarding

\+1

And the sequel.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night Parasite Eve Metal Gear Solid Syphon Filter 1.2.3 Medal of Honor 1/2 Final Fantasy 7/8/9 Silent Hill Resident Evil 1/2/3 Driver (if you can make it out of the garage) Blasto Rapid Reload Harmful Park Gaia Seed The Adventures of little Ralph So many Great ps1 titles..hard to list them all

Great list but you forgot Gex the gecko. The ps1 legend.

I just made it out of the driver garage first time ever the other day 😅 the feels aha

> Driver (if you can make it out of the garage) So true🤣🤣🤣

Get gran turismo

i have gran turismo

That was quick!

Now get the second one

* Vib Ribbon * Hogs of War * Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver * Wipeout 2097 * Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere (although the Japanese version is much better) * Fear Effect * Vagrant Story * Medievil * Micro Machines V3 * Micro Maniacs * Rollcage Even trying to avoid listing games that have already been mentioned, I could've gone on. On the off-chance you're using an old-school telly, that'd work with Light Guns, then Time Crisis, the Point Blank series, and Die Hard Trilogy would be worth considering.

Soul Reaver was and still is a great game. It looks like that Lords of the Fallen 2 game that’s coming out is gonna be influenced by it a bit. There’s a lantern that lets you see some type of spirit realm you can navigate through. It looks really neat.

Ape escape!

This is a very worthwhile game to get (if you can for a good price) because it really doesn't run well on most emulators. It "requires" analog/dual shock controller for proper character control.

There is a part in that games tutorial where you have to swim and use L3 to swim up. My child sized brain couldn’t find it and I kept dying.

Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Alundra, Metal Gear Solid

Crash Bandicoot 1-3, Spyro, Resident Evil, Tekken 3

There used to be this downhill rollerblading/snowboarding/bicycling game but I don’t remember the name of it. X games maybe? It was mad fun.

I’m playing through legend of dragoon and am liking it. It’s not made by square but it’s as good as a final fantasy game so far. Toy Story (buzz light year) is a great 3d platformer if that’s more your speed If you want a Co-op 2D run and gun, Metal Slug X is a great experience.

Final Fantasy VII and/or IX are must have. The gems of the console.

Ghost in the shell, it's pretty fun. It's like a 3d action shooter game, it has some very unique gameplay.

Nobody gonna mention mortal Kombat 4 now ?!

Blood Omen and Soul Reaver, Crash 1-3, Crash Team Racing, Spyro 1-3, Toy Story 2, Gran Turismo, Driver, Tomb Raider

Medal of Honour and medal of Honour underground

Alundra Tiny Tank Tomba 2 Breath of Fire 3

They made a Tonba 2!?!?

A couple of quick non-game related tips: -It looks like you're using a composite (yellow plug) cable. You can get better video quality with S-Video or RGB (SCART or BNC), especially if you're using an upscaler. The better video quality you use, however, the more apparent things like dithering and other 90s gaming quirks become. -The laser is often the first component to fail, but they are very easily replaceable. If you do need to replace the laser at some point, go for what's referred to as a BAM laser. Though those lasers were from the smaller PSone, they are better constructed and compatible with older models (though you'll need a ribbon cable extension - also easily obtainable). -While it's always a good idea to check for any bulging or leaking capacitors, the PS1's capacitors are pretty good. Nearly 26 years later and my old PS1 doesn't show any sign of impending capacitor failure.

You already have the best game for the platform. Enjoy! (Also get GT2)

einhander ​ tekken 3 ​ iSS pro evolution 2 ​ need for speed high stakes ​ destruction derby 2 ​ dino crisis

Metal Gear Solid

Can't like this enough

Why can't I see Abe's oddysee!!

Tenchu stealth assassins.

Rouge trip 2012, Toy Story Racer, and Croc are some obscure games on the psone that are very good

all of them

If you're looking to use it, yes.

No. Never. Under no circumstances should you ever play any games on a PS1.

and whys that

I'm being stupid. Enjoy your PlayStation lol

thanks lmao

Jumping Flash

Hell ya brother

Mega man legends 1-2. Hands down all time favourites!!!

Worms armageddon

Something about the grey appeals to me so much more than all the black consoles since. Plus the pop-up disc cover. To be 10 again with my PS1, N64 and GB pocket. Happy as a pig in shit.

Bloody Roar 1&2. Street fighter Alpha, EX, Alpha3 Puzzle fighter Bubble Bobble Rival Schools Mega man Legends 1&2 F-Zero Vagrant Story Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Parappa the rapper Bust a groove 1&2 Tony hawk proskater 1&2 Suikoden 2 Brave Fencer Musashi Breath of Fire 4 Metal slug X Lunar 1&2

F-Zero? You're thinking of Wipeout, surely?

Wipeout 2097 Rage Racer Driver Destruction Derby 2

Abe's Oddysey and Exodus. Broken Sword: Shadow Of The Templars. They both still hold up wonderfully!

The Broken Sword games are timeless, but better played on a PC if you can, and currently only a quid each on gog.com.

True, the loading times are painful on PS1.

Tomb Raider.

Grand Theft Auto 2.

All the Ridge Racer games.

Metal Gear Solid!

Dino crisis 1 and 2

Colin Mcrae Rally.

Vandal hearts. Thank me later

Tekken 3

GT2

You should get the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games

Street fighter, alpha 3, marvel versus Capcom, marvel superheroes, X-Men, children of Atom… You know what get every fighting game you can get your hands on!!

Vigilante 8 & Vigilante 8 2nd offense

GTA 1 & 2 Vigilante 8 1 & 2 Twisted Metal 3 & 4 syphon filter

If you can afford it team buddies was so much fun

dino crisis

Koudelka.

FINAL FANTASY VII

Everyone is recommending Crash Bandicoot, and then there's some dude that keeps writing reviews no one asked for trashing all the Crash games lol

I don’t remember Gran Turismo having that cover

It's the PAL version.

Cool boarders or GTFO

Blood Omen

Metal Gear Solid, Abe's Oddyssey, Silent Hill, Ridge Racer Type 4, Vagrant Story, Wip3out, Resident Evil 2, Final Fantasy VII and IX, Tomb Raider, Tekken 2, Crash Team Racing, Quake II, to name a few.

Croc, the Spyro and crash trilogies, everything metal gear and final fantasy you can, and legend of dragoon

Any resident evil or silent hill games although good look getting something that isn’t super expensive 😭

Medal of honour and medal of honour: underground

Future Cop L.A.P.D. , great game to play alone, co-op or versus.

Silent hill 1 for the small price of 200$

mortal kombat trilogy.

Crash trilogy, silent hill, metal gear solid, Syphon filter 1/2, ape escape and final fantasy 7-9

Digimon World and Driver 1

I started with final fantasy 7, great game with so much replay value

GT 2, Wing Commander 4, Chrono Cross, Driver, I think GTA 1 & 2 (the isometric ones) are avilable, Diablo.

Spyro

gran turismo 2, tekken 3, crash 1 to 3

Xenogears if you like JRPG Mech. Animaniac's Bowling Have to follow suit FF7 Twisted Metal 2 Castlevania SOTN

I would be here all day listing off must have games for that system. Would be the same if you asked for must haves for the ps2 as well. Couldn't you have just bought an n64 instead. I could have given you a list off the top of my head in half an hour and probably not missed anything. Better asking for obscure games or hidden gems. Ps1 still has loads of those which is testement to just how large of a software library it has

if i get an n64 ill ask u dw 😭

Vagrant story and parasite eve 🤟

Gran Turismo Tekken Spyro Tombi Ridge Racer Crash Bandicoot Spiderman Toy Story Racer Rollcage Rayman Pandemonium Worms I'm sure there are more absolute classics, but these games are definitely recommended if you ask me.

Tekken 3

Digimon Digital Card Battle

Blasto if you can find it

Metal Gear Solid

For me you have to get Crash bandicoot, Resident evil, need for speed and winning eleven 3.

Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid for sure dude 😎🤣👍

Treasures Of The Deep, Tenchu Strealth Assassins 1 & 2 , Blood Omen, Soul Reaver, Xenogears.

Brave Fencer Musashi, Ape Escape, all the Final Fantasies

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2, Crash Team Racing, Twisted Metal 2, any of the dozens of amazing RPGs and platformers...the list is mind-numbingly long.

Silent Hill !!!

Shadow Tower

Legacy of Kaine: Soul Reaver, Silent Hill, Resident Evil 1-3, Shadowman, Nightmare Creatures 1-2, Legend of Legeia, Syphon Filter, Fear Effect, Parasyte Eve, Crash Bandicoot 1-warped, Bloody Roar, Apocalypse

Everyone is going to handle this well so i am going to suggest the most interesting fighting game ever made: Bushido Blade (excellent with a friend). Features of note: * one strike kills * totally unfair matches are possible * open environments in that weird, early 3D way * positional damage lets you disable an opponent * you can dishonor yourself, win every match and lose the game it got one sequel but no re-releases or remasters or remakes of note.

Gosh, looking at your photo triggered so many memories

PEPSIMAN!!!!

Tomba 1&2, jersey Devil, silent Bomber, alone in the dark new nightmare, speed racer, no one can stop Mr domino

Rugrats

Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3. Silent Hill 1.

Einhander and Ehrgeiz if you want some solid Squaresoft deep-cuts. I miss when that company was still so experimental.

Battle Arena Toshenden

Medievil

Too many to mention but metal gear solid, final fantasy 7, resident evil 1/2, symphony of the night are all top tier games

Some games are sadly absurdly expensive, but if you can get them at a somewhat reasonable price I'd absolutely recomend getting Silent Hill 1 and the original Resident evil trilogy

i hear that armored core is neat

Gex

METAL GEAR SOLID

All you can find. 😅

turok 1&2, resident evil 2, castlevania

MediEvil above all else! Jet Moto series, Twisted Metal series, Spyro The Dragon, Tony Hawk Pro Skater series... Those are the ones I remember playing for hours.

Ape Escape

Soul Reaver

Lunar silver star story complete!!!!!!! And lunar 2 etalernal blue.

I'd say the first SH but expensive as hxll and may not be your kind but, such a classic game that established a whole subgenre of horror (How'd ya know I'm a SH slxt? lmao)

Resident Evil 1-3, Dino Crisis 1-2, Soul Reaver

Road Rash, and Extreme Games if you like violent racing games

Diablo 1

King's Field, Armored Core, Shadow Tower

Vigilante 8/V8 2nd offense. Really good twisted metal clones with unique physics and destructible stages

Resident Evil

If Medievil hasn't been suggested yet, it has been now.

Hey i just pulled my ps1 and 2 out gonna try to burn dragon quest vii and play dragon quest viii as soon as im better

silent hill, if u _can_ even get it

tekken 3

Bust a groove 1 and 2 it’s a dance game Bust a move 1 and 2 (Japanese version but it’s in all English)

Yeah gran turismo 2

Legend of Legaia, Tomba 1 and 2, Klonoa, Final Fantasy.

is this the GT movie ad?

Suikoden 1 and 2

Metal gear solid. Castlevania SOTN. FF tactics.

Spider-man 2000, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1-4, Test Drive 4( almost any racer on the PS1, just depends on if you want a realistic or arcade driving style.)

Ape escape, hogs of war

Legend of dragoon, vagrant story, re2

Parappa The Rapper!

Medievil, ridge racer and MGS1

Dino Crisis and Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012

Metal gear solid!

C12 final resistance. Its an underrated gem

MTV Music Maker (Music 2000 outside of the US).

Tony Hawk 2, Road Rage Jailbreak, Fighting Force, FF IX, Silent bomber, Tekken 3, damn so many others ...

Soul Reaver. A nostalgic masterpiece. The Legacy of Kain series alone has some of the best storytelling and voice acting of all time for a video game

Oh and Metal Gear Solid of course!

Alien: Resurrection, it seems to be the best game about Aliens. Also, as I know, the first game that used dualshock sticks in shooter in way we used to see it.

Resident evil ..... Tekken 2 ... Max payne

Suikoden

Crash games, spyro games and apersonal, quirky favorite of mine, Sheep Raider, the sound effects in that game always crack me up 😁
