Buying a Playstation 1.

**LASER BEAR ASSAULT UNIT** · 01-15-2009, 03:33 PM

Anyone got any games to recommend attempting to find for this old bastard?

Vgfian · 01-15-2009, 03:36 PM

Any FF
Some 007 games are okay.
spyro 1, maybe 2
Crash bandicoot 1-2

Heh, I was thinking of going out and finding a PS1 that I could keep in my dorm room, so that if I ever have free time (...what's that?) I could play old FF's like 7 and 9.

I haven't yet - I'm trying to not doom myself this semester.

But, if you are looking for good games, then I highly recommend FF9. And FF7 (oh shut up, haters, I love that game - you're just misers). Oh, and if you find an old copy of FF:Tactics (the original), get it. Seriously, that game is amazing.

Um, I'm trying to remember what games I played for the PS1...it was so long ago.... >_>

9 and 7 do rock out loud.

syphon filter 2 was decent i suppose
I've heard good things about MGS1 as well

SephirothKirby · 01-15-2009, 04:59 PM

Legend of Dragoon is a fairly unknown, but a great RPG.

***The Doctor*** · 01-15-2009, 05:50 PM

It's a damn awesome game, and kinda reminded me of Power Rangers, but better.....

Also to add to ZeeGee's FF list, I liked 8, as well as 9. (You may like 7 as well, but I found it.....meh.)

***Booyakasha*** · 01-15-2009, 05:59 PM

I recommend the Oddworlds, the Tombas, 'Soul Blade', 'Threads of Fate', 'Adventures of Tron Bonne', and 'Rising Zan'.

***Ace Mercury*** · 01-15-2009, 06:29 PM

Second Threads of Fate and Misadventures of Tron Bonne (and the rest of the Megaman Legends series). Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a classic.

If you're into sh'mups, you can try Einhander and Thunder Force V.

If you're bored, you can try Klonoa Beach Volleyball.

Ape Escape was pretty good. It required you to have a Dual-Shock controller and was the first game to do so. The dual-analog controls work, although some things are a little awkward like that stupid boat.

Pandemonium was a decent 2.5D platformer.

There are a few Tales of games on the playstation but the only one that's still playable by today's standards is Destiny II.

And oh yeah, Pocket Fighter's alright if you wanna screw around a little.

1-up Salesman · 01-15-2009, 07:22 PM

FF 7, 8, and 9, I guess. The Megaman Legend series, the Mega Man X games, and Mega Man 8. FF Tactics, too.

**Valigarmander** · 01-15-2009, 07:23 PM

PaRappa the Rapper.

Any Final Fantasy game.

Luigiman7 · 01-15-2009, 07:37 PM

Namco Museum (ToyPop FTW)

and ^

**Valigarmander** · 01-15-2009, 07:38 PM

Oh yeah, and this game:

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 01-15-2009, 10:49 PM

Parasite Eve, definitely.

Vgfian · 01-16-2009, 05:07 PM

^ I found that game to be a bit meh,but idunno.

^^Yse!

^^^^^^^^^ or so = the doctor.

I've never played 8,but it looks good too.

Back on subject:I suggest gran turismo as well.

Laika Come Home · 01-16-2009, 08:39 PM

Vib Ribbon is the only PS1 game worth buying.

PE is...different, so I can see why.

Sim Kid · 01-17-2009, 02:00 AM

if you could find it clock tower on the SNES was probably good. (IMO the SNES one is the best) Although I don't know if it's aged well at all.
