PS1 The impossible PS1 top ten best of games list

[Kremiso]

So much beautiful games in that machine, doing a list of ten leave out a ton of titles on same league.
An interesting example could be the two top ten list on Metacritic, rated by site and by players :

by site

1) Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 - 98
2) Tekken 3 - 96
3) Gran Turismo - 96
4) Final Fantasy IX - 94
5) Chrono Cross - 94
6) Metal Gear Solid - 94
7) Gran Turismo 2 - 93
8) Street Fighter Alpha 3 - 93
9) Castlevania : Symphony of the Night - 93
10) Wipeout XL - 93

by players

1) Castlevania : Simphony of the Night - 9.3
2) Resident Evil 2 - 9.2
3) Metal Gear Solid - 9.2
4) Xenogears - 9.1
5) Suikoden II - 9.0
6) Crash Bandicoot Warped - 9.0
7) Final Fantasy VII - 8.9
8) Lunar : Silver Star Story - 8.9
9) Final Fantasy IX - 8.9
10) Silent Hill - 8.9

gold mine, reading in both i can insantly figure in mind the missing inbetween

I know it's not the best game, but I'm saddened by the lack of Ape Escape

Players list I’d agree with more out of the two, but both lists are missing a lot of bangers. I obviously never expected to see more obscure stuff like Internal Section or Tall Twins Tower, but how is stuff like Ape Escape or Ridge Racer Type 4 not on either list?

Yeah the Player list is slightly more accurate. I swear to god Chrono Cross is an average game at best but everybody praises it to high heavens!
Street Fighter Alpha 3 seems oddly high too, even it was the sequel to the most popular fighting game of all time.
Don't know what I'd switch out for Ape Escape/Spyro though!

"by players" is the only one that has one of my favorite games (silent hill) lmao

players list is all great picks, but Id slot out ffix for armored core

WTF???!! Where is Parasite Eve? That is one of the best games ever for the ps1. Even more superior than some ps2 games. Heck, they even quasi used PE1 battle system for FF7 remake/rebirth.

Just plain wrong.
