I recommend My top 20 PSX games

[Yithan]

Hey guys, the PlayStation 1 was the console I grew up with, and lately I've been replaying and trying out titles I didn't know existed or had only heard of, and while I still have a few more I want to try, last week I played Castlevania Symphony Of The Night for the first time making it the 35th game I've completed on this beautiful console, so I thought it would be fun to make a top 20 of my favorites, at least for now!

The 15 left:

Final Fantasy VIII (Almost add it)
Crash Bandicoot 1
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
Spyro The Dragon
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage
Rayman 2: The Great Escape
Dino crisis 1
Dino crisis 2
Resident evil 2
Medievil 2
Crash Team Racing
Breath of fire IV
Vampire Hunter D
Galerians
Brave Fencer Musashi

Before you guys want to kill me for putting those last 4 games above these other 15
the reason is basically nostalgia. When I was a kid, I was a massive Toy Story fan and those silly racing games with powers :p

Which would be your top 20 Psx games?

 

[Tonberry]

Hell yeah, that Buzz Lightyear game rocked.

 

[Shuriiu]

I was born late so everything here is literally new to me, feels like an advantage since now I can binge some golden era videogames

 

[Zeroskill]

Nice list. I want to say that I appreciate these posts from everyone. I had a PS1 and did not play every game so it is great to go back and try games I never had in my radar. FF8 was more memorable to me than 7. I don't know why. Maybe it was the time I wasted playing the card game.

 

[Eclipse14]

Despite being my personal favorite system, this one's hard to think about, considering the number of PS1 games I've conquered is over 100 and, for the most part, any strong opinions from me on anything is quite rare. Running it down in alphabetical order, here.

01: Alundra
02: Azure Dreams
03: Brave Fencer Musashi
04: Breath of Fire III (IV effectively ties it)
05: Bust-A-Move 4
06: Crash Bandicoot Warped
07: Elemental Gearbolt
08: Final Fantasy IX
09: Final Fantasy Tactics
10: Gran Turismo 2
11: R-Type Delta
12: Soul Blade
13: Spyro the Dragon
14: Suikoden (II effectively ties it)
15: Tactics Ogre
16: Tekken 3
17: Thousand Arms
18: Thunder Force V
19: Twisted Metal III
20: Xenogears

Here's mine!
I admittedly didn't grow up on this as much as I did the PS2, but I played my fair share of PSX games still. This one is in alphabetical order (But I'm pretty sure my top 3 would be Chrono Cross, FF7 and RE2). Some of them I haven't played since I was a kid, so it's a mix of nostalgia and actual opinion ?

EDIT: I can't believe I forgot Symphony of The Night!!!

Good lists! I've also grown up with the PS1 and its tied with PS2 for my favorite console. I was going to make a list too, but I realized its kinda impossible, just the JRPGs alone would make more than half the list! That much I love the PS1.

 

[RanmyakuIchi's icon RanmyakuIchi RanmyakuIchi]

Great lists everyone! Here's mine, off the top of my head, in no particular order or number:

Brave Fencer Musashi

Metal Gear Solid
Legend of Dragoon
Vandel Hearts
Crash 1, 2, and 3
Twisted Metal 2
Castlevania Symphony of the Night

*Inhales* Rising Zannnnn! (Samurai Gunmannn!)

Many more JRPGs that escape me ATM

 

[PSVitaForever]

The ones I played:

A FELLOW FINAL FANTASY IX FAN!!!

Also, for anybody wanting a Klonoa fix on real hardware, Ridge Racer Type 4 came with a bonus disc that has a meaty demo of the game on it. The first Vision is on there. So, for about half an hour, you can pretend like you own the game that is $650

Let's go Rival Schools! I have Vagrant Story and Chrono Cross are on my list of games to play. Vagrant intimidates me a bit, I've read that it's quite difficult

My favorite game ever

$650

 

[Eclipse14]

$650

Yeah, no. As someone who pays attention to this kind of business, that's just insanity (unless it was a sealed copy, which is excusable). Back in the 2020-22 bubble? Well, everyone and their mother messed everything up, but just about everything has cooled down since then. Klonoa is still one of the big ones, regardless (~350 average), but the only ones going past $600 these days are the genuinely rare variants (like the Syphon Filter 3 original cover), with only Tron Bonne and Starblade Alpha regularly tasting it.

I was really lucky and have a habit of not selling my games once i got them so I have some really expensive ones that have skyrocketed in price! like Megaman X4 and X5 (why do the MMX games pre PS2 command such ridiculous prices???)

My most expensive PS1 game tho has to be my complete limited edition Castlevania SOTN. got it for around £110/$140 back in the day. Now it's worth £600/$750

 

[RebelofDaNeonGod]

Yeah...I know my taste in video games is great and jawesome and sweet and perfect and unique and wholly original.

But for real, I do tend to prefer the slightly lesser discussed or beloved games (some of these games notwithstanding cause fucking GitS is on here)

I tried playing Galerians and I don't know if it's just me and the current mind set of games of kill everything you encounter, but man I suck at it.

Happy Rhythm Busters it's great! I have Rhapsody and Megaman Legends on my to-play list; I'm adding Gex, Silhouette Mirage, Harmful Park and Dr Slump as well! Also, what are the games in the left and right corners of the last column?

My brother kept telling me, “you have to play Sotn; you have to play Sotn”. And I was like “Yeah, yeah, I'll play it at some point, I know it's good” but it's not only good, it's a classic for a reason! The bosses, the level design, the OST, the atmosphere, the library and that small room with the ghost woman crying, so good!.

In Galerians I only fought if I had to; otherwise, I just avoided the mobs. It's a good game, but I think they could have developed the characters a bit more, especially the bosses, and the dub is... something. They probably ran out of budget, which is a shame because I love the aesthetics and the concept was interesting.
