I had no idea home alone had a good game hah

Out of all of these I played parappa, metamorphic force, atomic robo kid (the arcadd game), Gen-san/hammerin harry, Project Doom/Gun Dec and Time Crisis 1

I'm gonna add Koudelka; amazing horror-rpg hybrid set in a haunted monastery where gypsy witch, an adventurer and a priest find themselves in a haunted monastery for different reasons. A bit too easy but features gorgeous atmosphere and some of the most graphic things you'll see on the ps1, like face melting and an old lady being shot in the mouth

Jigoku Gokurakumaro, a great action platformers for the famicom by Human. Everything that studio made was interesting and they were so versatile, this one controls great, is challenging and a cool setting where you're inside a computer world that looks like a demonic factory

Gekibo: gekisha boy, I guess you could call it a rail shooter;
It's a game for the pc engine where you're a photographer and you go around taking pictures of ufos, perverted men in lipstick that flash you, chun li cosplayers, indians killing people by carving their face off, and Michael Jackson.
It has a sequel on the ps2 that can be played in english called "polaroid pete" (its a beta of the eng translation, since it never came out in the west)

Incredible Crisis on the ps1; a mini game compilation kinda like Wario Ware, the american advertising warns you that if you dont have fun playing it one of the programmers is gonna fucking kill himself

Violent Storm (Great 1993 Capcom Arcade Beat-Em Up, Game)

Armored Warfare (1992) (VERY Good Mecha beat-Em-Up, Arcade)

Violent Storm is Konami, not Capcom.

Never heard of Armored Warfare. A search only brings up a modern tank MMO. Is this a different game from 1994's Armored Warriors by Capcom?
 
I really love Violent Storm! Actually one of my favorite beat em ups.

I've played Metamorphic Force as well, not my favorite, but pretty iconic. Some of its themes are even featured in the konami rhythm game arcade Guitarfreaks/Drummania as boss songs.

Also I actually like Bomberman World. Nowhere as good as the best ones like Saturn Bomberman and its also VERY short, but it had some actually interesting and challenging maps.
