Purkake Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 So I got my hands on a playstation one for cheap. Could you recommend some games for it? I would prefer RPGs, but all genres are welcome. Also I would like to know what the best two-player games are. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xard Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 (edited) 1. Metal Gear Solid* Spyro games (1, 2, 3) Syphon Filter I & II (maybe 3 too, dunno) Ape Escape Final Fantasy IX (VII and X sucks *****) Medievil (1 & 2, esp. 2) Tekken 3 Tenchu 1 & 2 Resident Evil 2 & 3 Final Fantasy Tactics Final Fantasy VI Crash Bandicoot(s) GTA 2 Driver 2 Dino Crisis And propably bazillion other titles I don't remember. Ape Escape was my first PSone game and it still is my favourite platform game You'd do better with buying PS2 though, games got on average a lot better *even if you dislike later installations in the series this is ace game My top picks would propably be: 1. Metal Gear Solid 2. Syphon Filter II 3. Tekken 3 Edited July 29, 2008 by Darque Inappropriate term modified. How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective.

Purkake Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Woah, you people are fast. Thanks for the lists. So are there any co-op or otherwise multiplayer games that would take advantage of the second controller? I could have gotten a PS2, but since I'm not really into console gaming I thought that I'd try to get a little more up to date with some RPG series and other forgotten gems. Also it was really cheap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte Carlo Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 The most 2-player fun I had with PS1 was definitely Command & Conquer: Red Alert Other games I enjoyed... X-Com: Enemy Unknown (yes, you can get it on PS1 and it's awesome turn-based goodness) Doom / Doom 2 Hexen Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat (fantasy RTS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 X COM?!?!? No, I have to say no. While that game was awesome the wait time for the actions for the enemy and civillians were a damn killer. In one mission I had to wait 15 minutes for the damn game to finish its turn!

Monte Carlo Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 ^ Hmmm. Was that on PC? I don't recall it being a big problem on the console version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 No, that was the console. The PC version I had took only minutes, if that long.

Zoma Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 -Tobal 2 -Front Mission 2, best combat presentation and deepest strategic gameplay from all of the Front Mission series. But the bloody games take about 5 minutes to load a saved game since PS1 is a slow beast. On its own, the story and its setting is unique because the protagonist is a South East Asian nationality, a Bangladesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leferd Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Never owned a PS but I remember vividly playing a game ONCE called Bushido Blade. For the 40 or so minutes I played it, I thought at the time, that it was the most RAD game I'd have ever played. Still have fond memories of it. Good times.

H Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Medievil (1 & 2, esp. 2) What he said. These are among the best action/adventure games ever, up there with Psychonauts. Get them ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leferd Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Yeah, Bushido Blade was pretty hardcore. No hitpoints or anything, you'd be parrying and suddenly you get sliced on the chest then next thing you know, you're dead.

Oerwinde Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) Suikoden II is the best RPG for the system. no. I saw that post coming from a mile away, by the way. The only one that rivals it is Xenogears, but as you already said, the 2nd disc is pretty much garbage for that one, while Suikoden II was great all the way through. Tales of Phantasia was good, but didn't realize it was on the playstation as I played it on SNES.

alanschu Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 For some arcade action co-op fun I love Jedi Power Battles. Though it has some camera issues which makes the game frustrating for other people (but not me, because I <3 any opportunity to run around with a lightsaber doing cool combos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
