Lately i was round my grans for the night, anything i dont use at home anymore ends up in my room at me grans, so i was bored and dug out my PS1, and so as a result have become hoplessly addited to Ridge Racer Type 4...

I was never around to see the days of PlayStation 1, but I at least got a good look around with it with the emulator. Even with a couple of graphical bugs, I still enjoyed the games... Klonoa, Ace Combat 2, RayStorm, Strider 2, and Einhander. I never got around to playing Final Fantasy VII since I wasn't a big fan of RPG. (Gasp?)

And now the HD's been busted so all my saved files were destroyed by reformat. Damn it, it took me ages to get all the crap.

Ace Combat 3 can go to hell for all I care.

I wondered why I didn't know it sooner ever since.

Zelda ensured that I took the N64 route that generation. While I don't regret that decision, I'm sure there are several gems of Playstation 1 era that I've missed out on. Now that my PC can faithfully emulate a PS1, I should probably give some of them a shot.

my first console was my dear Marideth (a PS2), but i did scrounge through the games in the corners, finding several great PS1 games, which i now have

Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII (ok this one sucked)
Final Fantasy Chronicles (now im hopelessly addicted to ChronoTrigger)
Final Fantasy Tactics
Megaman Legends II (one of my favorite games of all time)

AND...DragonBall Z Ultimate Battle 22 (i don't know why i still have this one

So, yea im a final fantasy addict, but still a lot of ps1 games rock! I want to pick legend of dragoons soon

My old PlayStation1 is somewhere in the closet, in the same box it came when I bought it. I'm not sure I want to go through the trouble of finding it.

But it was fun while it was out. The N64 is still out though.

PS2 Is my Anti-Drug.....

that and rape....

JK

i do drugs while i rape.

mishi-hime
i love ps1!!!!!!! mine is greeeen ooooh !

and im a old school gamer girl *pose*

Oh God, PS1 is old school now? I feel old. I must be old, I'm one of those people who call it a PSX.

Metal Gear Solid is still king of my collection, but I also have a few Final Fantasies that get a lot of play time, as well as Vagrant Story (still need to finish it) and the Resident Evils.

I also have the first PS1 Spider-Man game, classic stuff, and the genius Bruce Willis game - Apocalypse.

Driver 1 & 2
Soul Reaver
Dino Crisis
Worms Armageddon
Hogs of War

Well way back when it was time for me to decide to get a PS1 or a N64 i went 64 but now i got a pc good enough to emulate and im addicted to Castlevania SOTN. I was playing FF7 but my pc got messed up and my save of FF7 was deleted and I havent gone back to play it again.

Those games were classic, hell I still play them.

(hate it when someone says "omg, this isn't like gta!!!11!! halo, counterstrike.")

.: Myxomatosis :.

ahh, i remember the old PSX days, imy PS1 is the original HUGE thing that rivals the extreme weight of the Xbox. have slightly come of the RRT4 addiction, PSX, RETRO?!?!? scince when, i still play FF6 on my PS2 for god sake!!!

Yeah, suddenly the generation just before this one is "retro".

PS1 was my first game console. I got it for Christmas when I was.... I don't know. Around 7, maybe...

But, yeah, I remember that I used to always play Spyro on it. Now, though, I occasionally go out searching for PS1 games I missed out on and play them on PS2.

You may insult me all you want, but I am a big fan of FF8. Oddly enough, the only Final Fantasy that I've played and not really cared for is Tactics, which alot of people love. But I enjoyed Tactics Advance. Clearly, something is wrong with me.

Persona 2 and valkyrie profile were two of my faves. But most played now are Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Street Figther Alpha 3

Metal Gear Solid and Front mission 3 are all the PS1 games you need.

I got a PSOne kinda late in the game. (I was an N64 kid for a long while) But my first PS game was Rhapsody, the world's only musical RPG. Tomb Raider came free with the system but I never gave that game much of a chance considering I could barely figure out how to make Lara do things like... jump or walk straight.

I still buy and play rpgs, fighting and other quirky games I can find for it. I just got Fear Effect, but I've yet to try it.

I was kind of like that too. I couldn't get into Tactics much, but reasonbly enjoyed Tactics Advance. And I really enjoyed Tactics Ogre for GBA, which was another series altogether, but it sure seemed better than FF Tactics to me.

You can talk about your FF7 all you want, but the best game for PS1 is Castlevania:SOTN.

Fuck yeah!


Anyway, I got a PS1 specifically to play Final Fantasy VII, but I ended up getting a number of games for it. We (my brothers and I) eventually burned out the primary laser, so we built an elaborate device commonly referred to as an "inclined plane" out of legos so it would sit at an angle and activate the secondary laser system (or whatever it was about putting the thing at an angle to make it read right). Eventually we got a PS2, and that was a lot less hassle.

I've never played Tactics Ogre. The only Strategy RPGs I've ever played are FFT, FFTA, and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Tactics Advance was the only one I ever got in to, though I guess you could count WarCraft III as one....

Quill
Soon afterwards I got FF VIII and I think that that PSX RPG was the best, no matter what anyone says

So I'm not alone!

Two things: Castlevania:SOTN is very much the most badass.
And our PS1 got screwed over pretty badly, too. Our old dog was sick, and shit all over it.
we decided to lay off the playstation until PS2.

(another good game is Einhander)

(another good game is Einhander)

I used to have a saved file of unlocked Selene Fighter (The plane with red color scheme) and all weapons but I lost the damned thing due to HD reformat.

heh, speaking of saved file loss, I wonder how much my brother lost on the FFVII. He had some pretty nifty stuff.

man einhander, I miss that game.

I still have a big stack of PSX games.
-FF VII
-FF Tactics
-Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete (awesome old school RPG)
-Lunar: The Second Game Which I Can’t Actually Remember the Name of
-Driver
-Street Fighter Alpha 3 (one of the best)
-Marvel vs Capcom (unfortunately they had to neuter this version. But I also had the full dreamcast one once I got myself a dreamcast.)
-A bunch more I can’t think of right now

Man…that reminds me of when I used to have these two really badass arcade sticks for the PSX as well. They emulated the arcade machines really well and they were actually pretty cheap. They were pretty good sized and a bright blue color.
It was great until the plug was melted on one of them from being too close to the heater this one winter. Then I couldn’t use them for two player, since they gave whoever was using it too much of an advantage.
I also got them on clearance, and couldn’t find a replacement. Bad times

Go on Ebay and buy it, one of the simplist, funest multiplayer games ever

Me? I had both PS1 and N64. PS1 was definitly the better system.

I used to have it, it WAS a blast.

I still play my psx, though, were it not for the fact that we won ours from a Christmas Fair at school, I don't think we would have gotten it, as we're a Legend of Zelda family (re: my dad would buy the systems, and he likes the Zelda games... I can't really fault him for it though, they are quite awesome).

As for the PSX, I have a nice collection, the Final Fantasies of course - Crystal Chronicles through IX (which I really liked), and Tactics (which I maintain has one of the best stories in all of video game-dom). Then there's Discworld, Chrono Cross, Spyro, RE2, Castlevania: SotN - which is actualy my 2nd favorite Castlevania game, and totally wicked awesome, Atari classics, Legend of Dragoon, Twisted Metal, Demolition Derby, Tobal, Kartia, Star Ocean 2, Suikoden, RPG Maker, Dragon Warrior VII, Soul Blade, and, my pride and joy - Xenogears (plu the platinum hits edition as my original copy is scratched to hell and can't be played anymore). I spent many an hour with the PSX during my late junior high and high school years... And I still do.


Story: it was 1997 and we had just got our copy of Final Fantasy VII, when our PSX breaks. Something about over heating and leting hardware or something... I don't know, I was 12 or 13. So, even though it was there and sitting in its jewel case, we couldn't play it for about 2 weeks... FFVII continues to mock me to this very day.
