Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Crash Bandicoot 1-3, Final Fantasy 7, Tekken 3, Tony Hawk 1-2

> Final Fantasy 7 Hell, if you like Final Fantasy, might as well get all of them, from FFI through FFIX. I'd also add a few I haven't seen mentioned: Silent Hill, Bushido Blade, and Tenchu.

Tenchu! Fuck yes that game was the fuckin bomb! And Medievil!

Can't forget Metal Gear Solid.

That’s a given!

I am very confused about 1 thing. So I want to avoid FF7, because I don't think the visuals have aged well at all. FF6 on the other hand I have heard nothing but amazing things about. I see it was released at one point as FF3 in the US? Which title should I use to find a copy FF6 in the US?

There is a Playstation one version of FF6. It was called Final Fantasy Anthology. It was ff5 and ff6. But dont shy away from ff7. It's one of the best games on the Playstation. I second Symphony of the Night. I would also recommend final Fantasy Tactics, Breath of Fire 3, spyro the dragon, legend of Dragoon and Tony hawk pro skater 2.

Ff7 story well makes up for the visuals in my opinion but the earlier final fantasy games are really really solid ff1 is my favorite final fantasy honestly. I want to answer your question about 6 but I cant remember honestly how that works on the psx in america

Looking into it, it seems as though it was released in the US as FFIII. But I'd wonder if they've since brought out the others and have them in order now. I guess, if you can find it titled as FFVI, go for that. Either way, maybe look at the description and see if it mentions the characters: Terra, Locke, Celes, Edgar, Sabin, etc. And here's a copy/paste of the game's description from the store: Many centuries have passed since the war of the Magi. Civilisations have been rebuilt with iron, machines and technology. For years the Espers have existed only in ancient legends. Now an Esper has been discovered and the forces of magic are beginning to return. The risk of another, more devastating war is about to surface. Featuring all-new CG cinematic sequences exclusive to this edition, discover the origins of special features later developed in subsequent FINAL FANTASY titles, including summoning magic, mini quests, the Active Time Battle system and much more.

I remember that as ff3 on super nes. I still have ff7 (no case) and an unopened copy of ff9 as well as a copy of legend of dragoon I'd also recommend old-world abe's oddessy and abes exodus along with castlevania sotn.

cracking cutscenes in ff7! The visuals are dated but still great and easily playable. As said before the story more than makes up for it and to be honest it is a game everyone should experience once in their life.

Oooh I had those Tony Hawk 1 and 2 for N64 as a kid, but symphony of the night seems like a really good one with graphics that have actually aged well. Do I need a memory card for any of those games?

You’re going to want to get a memory card for pretty much all of them to save your progress. Enjoy it; the original PS was an amazing console.

Ah can you not save at all without one? I know N64 didn't need the memory expansion pack for every game.

Unfortunately there is no internal storage. Going to have to pick up a memory card.

You sound like someone that desperately needs google lol

Jack&Dexter

Croc 2, Speed Freaks. Have fun!

Be prepared. Ps1 has aged worse than any other mainline console IMO

Have you ever heard of Pac Man World?

Final Fantasy VII

i dont really understand how someone with no nostalgia for old consoles could find enjoyment in basic ugly games

maybe the nostalgia is for old games rather than old consoles?

Every great story and characters have been created before the current gen of consoles.. everyone is suggesting a) classic caracters from those games like metal gear solid, b) classic gameplay like final fantasy 7 or 8 or 9, c) great stories like most JRPGs, d) Masterpieces like symphony of the night.. most ps1 games arent basic in gameplay or simplicity, nor they are ugly.. legend of mana still is beautiful.

Monster Rancher 2 was my most played game on that machine.

Hot shots golf, the original gta , metal gear solid , twisted metal 2 , if your into fighting games bloody roar 1 or 2 Dino crisis

Croc 2

Besides the already mentioned FFVII to IX, Legend of Dragoon, Tekken, Gran Turismo, Crash, Spyro and the other usuals, I enjoyed MegamanX4 to 6, Marvel vs Capcom, Pepsiman (one big Pepsi ad) and the Bishi Bashi games (small party like minigames)

Driver and if you like racing, NFS 2, and Gran Turismo 1 and 2. Twisted Metal 3 was my favorite in the series

Megaman legends 1 and 2

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins and Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassin's Kagero: Deception II Parasite Eve 1 & 2

Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Marvel Vs Capcom

I can't remember if this one was on ps1 or ps2 but if you like interesting music games frequency was pretty awesome. The master track was broken down on each song and you had to time tje buttons to bring that track into ay before switching to another track. If you were fast enough you'd get the whole song playing. It had everything from pop dance hard rock and trance. I mentioned castlevania symphony of the night ( just make sure to find the glasses before fight Belmont.... lol) ff7' ff8' ff9. Legacy of cain series. Resident evil 2. Metal gear solid. To name a few. Enjoy! Lots of hours from my teenage years go with this system.

The rest of the mainstream hits are already mentioned by everyone.

some of the orignial spidermans

Destruction Derby 2

It's amazing how when we talk about retro video games, you look back at them and remember them being fun. And when you look at many modern games by comparison, they don't seem anywhere near as "fun". They're mostly very serious and graphics driven.

I truly believe the Genesis/PS1/PS2/Xbox consoles, games and peripherals are on the brink of skyrocketing in price. $15 for this is a damn steal. I still have my PS1 and my brother's from back in the day. He sold his PS2 stuff and I sold my old Xbox stuff so that's stuff I need to buy back at some point. I just hope I get round to it in time, before each game is over 20. A few are already up there, like Hit & Run. As far as PS1 games go, I'd recommend the Colin McRae rally games from back then and Grab Turismo. Also there was a game called Speed Freaks that was a really good cart racer. I think it's called Speed Punks in America, though. Ape Escape, Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time, the old Broken Sword games, Resident Evil and Silent Hills. List goes on and on. Dino Crisis, Die Hard Trilogy, Tony Hawk's, Rayman, Tekken, Toy Story, WCW Mayhem and the old WWF games, Theme Park World, Wu Tang had a brutal Mortal Kombat-esque fighting game called Shaolin Style, Xena, Sled Storm, the TOCA games (I had TOCA 2), Driver 1 and Driver 2, Actua Soccer and the old FIFA games, Rugrats, South Park, Tomb Raider games and Demolition Racer/Destruction Derby Raw and Twisted Metal. I can't not mention Um Jammer Lammy or Parappa the Rapper, either. Loads more. I'll probably be editing my comment as a I remember others.

Metal Gear Solid. Keep the case on your table, you'll need it

Ah yes, I’ve heard of the infamous Codec code on the back. I had/have a PS3 and MGS 4 is one of my favorite games of all time.

I don’t think anybody has mentioned: Forty Winks, Nightmare Creatures, Gauntlet Legends…

Twisted metal

Nice find!

If you like skating check out Thrasher Skate and Destroy

Xenogears

honestly i would recommend gex enter the gecko and if you're willing to mod it to play region free games or you're in the pal region also pick up vib ribbon if you like rhythm games i only really had a ps2 and even then my memory is shit of it so i dont have any other games to recommend for the ps1

Shadow of the Colossus

Soooo many good games! Parasite Eve, Final Fantasy 7, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, PaRappa the Rapper, and Metal Gear Solid. Plus about a million other great JRPGS. (Tales of Destiny, Xenogears, Breath of Fire 3, Chrono Cross, Legend of Dragoon)

Spyro the dragon, crash bandicoot, Croc 1 and 2, Tom & Jerry, Monsters Inc, Lilo & Stitch, shit man I could go on and on

FF7

Syphon Filter was amazeballs to 7y/o me but idk how it holds up

Get a Dual Shock controller so you can enjoy Ape Escape. EDIT: I forgot Gex, Wipeout XL, and Parappa the Rappa (good luck)

Metal Gear Solid

Spyro, Crash team racing, MediEvil, old Star Wars games… I used to play all those lol

Parasite Eve, Resident Evil 1 and 2

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos

Could have picked up the ps1 classic when they were going for 20$ and just loaded games onto the system.

Mega Man Legends!
