![]() ![]() Combat system was better, and it had a nice, classic anime-ish sprite based look. Xenogears-Only the Xenosaga games are similar, and it's actually better in some ways. Valkyrie Profile-No other rpg like this one, not even its bigger, beefier PS 2 sequel matched the original's charm and quality The PS 1 games are still significant though for being in 2-d, so the gameplay is different from Munch's Odyssey and some might say better The Oddworld games-Nothing like them out there, and the only REAL successor to these games was Munch's Odyssey on the Xbox(not that mediocre third person shooter Stranger's Wrath). ![]() This game is so classic, it was worthy of a remake. Especially considering the PS2 sequel wasn't as good. Metal Gear Solid-The game was already ahead of its time and still holds up. This and MDK were probably the only PS 1 games to give Earthworm Jim fans something with a similar style I don't know of any other 2-d game that requires torture techniques to progress through a stage. Wild 9-Another fun game in the vein of MDK with a unique gameplay mechanic. The original is easier for people to get into No other game like it other than its sequel, which is far more harsh and unforgiving. MDK-Graphically dated(especially compared to the PC version), but still unique and fun. Klonoa-Such a unique platformer to this day, matched only by its overlooked PS 2 sequel. STILL one of the best rpg combat systems ever, and none of the other Grandia games had this one's charm. Grandia-Though not as good as the Saturn version, this one is in english. It's worth mentioning that this was the last GOOD Dino Crisis game This game would foreshadow where Capcom would eventually go with Resident Evil 4. Capcom had already perfected 2-d gaming back then and these games still hold up todayĭino Crisis 2-Aside from Resident Evil 4 and maybe Eternal Darkness, I can't think of many action oriented survival horror games. The PS 1 had good ports of Darkstalkers 3 and the Street Fighter Alpha games. I think bemani games(did I spell that right) started with these two games if I'm not mistakenĪNY Capcom fighter. Their sequels didn't seem to get as much attention as the originals. PaRappa and Bust a Groove-Not as in depth as other rhythm games, but they had a unique style and are still fun now. Aside from the unique trap based gameplay, I loved the moral grey area in the stories These games stand the test of time much better than the first game. I've yet to play another console game quite like these, and the fourth installment on the PS 2 added little to the formula and was pretty much ignored by most gamers. It's worth mentioning that the over hyped Jak 2 was not even as good as this earlier effort by Naughty Dog This was the last great traditional Crash game before the mediocre ones that were NOT made by Naughty Dog. It still holds up because it just did everything well. I think it's still relevant because we've never had another Strider game since, and Strider just has a unique style to it.Ĭrash Bandicoot Warped is a perfect platform game. I'd question whether to put it in this topic though, given there's a Saturn version. Megaman X 4 is, in my opinion, the ONLY great MMX game to come out after the original S-NES trilogy, all others ranged from decent(MMX 5 and MMX8) to crappy(MMX 6 and 7). There may be other "big name" games that fall into this category, but there may be other gems that could qualify as well: Final Fantasy Tactics may be another as, from what I hear, the remakes/spinoffs haven't lived up to the original. If you had every console and every game for those consoles, what PS1 games would you still play?Ĭastlevania Symphony of the Night would be an obvious choice since it is still regarded as the best game in the series. Many of these games may be ones with unique stories or gameplay mechanics that haven't been replicated.Īnother way to think of it. What I'm looking for are games that haven't been made obsolete by newer sequels, remakes, or drastic innovations in the genre. What PS1 games would you think are still most relevant today? Since I'm not exactly a PS1 expert, I thought I would rely more on you guys. Ok, I've done similar features on the Dreamcast and Saturn. ![]()
