What is your favourite PS1 game?
So many to choose from.
Medievil, Ridge Racer type 4, Tekken, Parasite Eve 2
Some great choices there man!
@@thatvideogamesshow so many great games.
Koudelka, Rollcage, Front Mission 3, Silent Hill, Tomb Raider, Wipeout, Omega Boost, Time Crisis, Dino Crisis
as always sir...its PE 2.... and also i do love some PS1 RPG's as i have so many memories while playing them back in highschool 2005-2006 and then while in College 2006-2008... i was surprised when i remembered that the first RPG that i have played when i got a PS1 for the time was Final Fantasy 6.. and my favorite racing games on PS1 would be Chocobo Racing and Bakusou Kyoudal Let's and GO!...these are the games i was first introduced as a kid because my friends always played these games...
My favourite is FF7, the PS1 has so many great games and so many great series started on PS1. Its stupid that some people think it's the black sheep or consoles and bad because "graphics" meaning that graphics are the only ghink that matters to them.
With Tail Concerto, it's also worth noting it's had spiritual sequels taking place in the same world with Solatorobo on the Nintendo DS, and now Fuga: Melodies of Steel 1 & 2 on modern consoles, as cameo appearances of the characters from Tail Concerto do appear in Solatorobo
Makes sense, it just looks just like a proto Solatorobo.
@@pyrotictiger9930 This game is great. It made me finish the game so many times to unlock everythings
I played Evil Zone and Siphon Filter 1 on a demo. I also remember names like Destrega, Colony Wars, G Police, Ehrgeiz, Overboard, Demolition Racer ^^
In USA overboard is called Shipwreckers
Einhander had to be on this. I would instantly buy any system with the official follow up, if that was still a thing. Glad you got to it so early.
Einhander is a very, very good game. I don't normally like shooters, but this game makes you want to keep playing. The music is great as well.
My favorite PS1 game is Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night.
Einhander has become stupidly expensive these days. I used to own a copy back in the; don't think I ever beat it though.
One of my favorite games of all time. It’s such a good game.
I think Ridge Racer needs a comeback. Yeah, plenty of racing games of which GT sits above, but it was all about RR's ascetic and atmosphere. The jungle/DnB music, the mascot chicks... it has a completely different feel from most other video games really.
I definitely remember Koudelka back in the day. Very gothic and definitely a different rpg for the time. Great list.
I've been into Alundra lately. It's a really good Zelda link to the past type RPG. Highly recommended. Good art style and everything. Puzzles too.
The first Alundra is a timeless Classic and Masterpiece. PS: Just ignore the 2nd Game.
Thousand Arms is a beauty, hope it gets someday ported to new consoles, amazing list!
No one else remembers Thousand Arms. Kudos!
Thousands Arms is one of my all time faves on PS1!
Can never forget the first time Muza meets Wyna. XD
I had to click on the video randomly suggested to me, because I was like "That's not Wyna from Thousand Arms, is it?!"
Koudelka is a masterpiece. And the sequel series Shadow Hearts is equally amazing.
a person of culture i see. Good tastes pal !
@@karasushiro2636 Yep, going to get them, my kind of games. Exploring and experiencing games yourself is a good way to come across good ones that you have never heard of before. Doesn't matter if a game is popular or not, good experience is the only thing that matters. But I wish more of these games were popular.
@samtepal3892 I agree about Koudelka. Played it for the first time a few months ago and I was surprised by the quality of the dialogue and characters and how engaging the story was. Shadow Hearts 1, although it leaned more to anime RPG style still had good story and characters. Covenant and From the New World, however, went too far on the crazy scale even for fantasy standards, with FTNW having the most random, nonsensical, lore breaking characters I've ever seen in a videogame, not to mention the bad story and pacing. FTNW is just terrible.
@@leikeylosh i agree that FTNW is a bad sequel and a bad game overall. ^^
Great list, Einhander was a game that while brutally hard, I just couldn't stop renting and playing. Such a beautiful game. Saga Frontier 2 as well is a stunner on the system, some of the water color backgrounds are some of the most beautiful visuals on the PS1. Panzer Bandit looks really cool, almost like a Playstation version of Vanguard Bandits, but on a single plane.
Still repping The Unholy War until I see it on here. Such an underrated area brawler with a fun campaign.
Ah, I remember that game! It's the one that when it was released in Japan, as "Majokko Daisakusen: Little Witching Mischiefs" it was essentially the same game, but was re-worked/re-skinned to be have a Anime Magical Girl (Maho-shojo) aesthetic and featured characters from a bunch of different famous anime/manga series.
Which is actually pretty different, since most of the time it's Japanese titles that re-worked in an attempt to make it appeal to western audience and not the other way around (although this practice isn't as common nowadays as more and more people are more familiar with Japanese culture and prefer their games to retain it's original look/feel).
So not only could it be featured here as a hidden gem, it also has a pretty interesting and unique story around it as well.Definitely a game worthy of a mention or more detailed look into!
Legend of Legaia is a great title locked to the PSX, and I mean that in the sense that not only has it never been rereleased, but the PS2 doesn't seem to be able to handle the battles without massive slowdown, either. I hope it gets a PS4/PS5 digital re-release someday because its a great JRPG with a "fighting game" like combat engine and some really unique summonable monster designs.
Panzer Bandits looks awesome! I’ll need to check this one out! Also, Syphon Filter 2 is such an excellent game. The soundtrack in that game alone kept me coming back for more. Great list of games mentioned here as always man!
Thanks GC! Glad you found something new!
Good list especially Thousand Arms, Tail Concerto and Soul of the Samurai
Im currently trying out Thousand Arms...it really IS impressive with its smooth animation in certain dialouge scenes and combat.
I find myself really digging this style of dialogue transition and kinda wish there were more RPGs that would go with TA's style instead of merely using bust portraits.
And, im gona be a nitpicker...but its Meis (pronounced "Mice" in game). Though, your pronounciation sounds better, honestly. :)
Whoa, never seen something like Thousand Arms! Love the artstyle. Definitely gonna get it. Koudelka is interesting too, a horror RPG. Going to get that too and also Soul of the Samurai.
You're missing Soul Blade, Bushido Blades, Ehrgeiz, Brave Fencer Musashi, Tales Of Phantasia and Destiny and Threads of Fate.
Einhander was so fun and its soundtrack still holds up!
SaGa Frontier 2 has some great things going for it, but it also has some seriously game-breaking flaws. It's way too easy to get softlocked, it's almost impossible to figure out good skills/abilities without a guide or crazy amounts of dedication, and there are some important missables IIRC. It's one of those games that's so CLOSE to being a hidden gem, but ends up being a very flawed kind of just ok RPG.
Totally agree. I got it because when I saw it I loved the graphic style, but gamewise, it's tedious and punishing and gets "heavy" quickly.
Please make timecodes for the games in the video :)
The PS1 library is still my favorite followed by the PS2... Those four times game developers had such an amazing creativity bandwidth with so many different and unique experiences we've been stripped out of for so long and only recently we're seeing the same returning with the indies. I'll definitely give it a try for that last game when I'm done with FFVII :) looking forward for a part two since your lists are the best hands down!
What's the other two times?
I still got my OG copy (purchased in 1999) of Thousand Arms. That game was ahead of its time with voice acting and the dating system.
I loved Koudelka, being a bit of an SNK fan (as they published it), but dear gods the PAL version was PAINFULLY hard. I managed to complete it, but I'm sure I lost my sanity at one point, haha!
Hard because of the lower FPS or something else?
@@retrogamer64007 Actual difficulty. Might just be that I wasn't that great at the combat, but it seemed that the encounter rate was high and the sheer difficulty of boss fights was insane at times. Might have to see if I can revisit it...
So many games stuck on ps1 like Treasures of the deep. If only we had a vast ps1 classic library to buy on PS4/5 like we did during the PS3 gen.🥺
pretty sure that Syphon filter 2 is on the PS+ classics collection so it's not really stuck on PS1. At least not OG hardware. There are a load of good games that are stuck tho, so this series should be going for a good long while. I remember having a great time on Micro Machines V3, PoyPoy & a bunch of others, most of which I probably still own copies of.
saga frontier 2 is here! 😊 i love that game to bits!
Funnily enough, I got Evil Zone for my collection not too long ago! Pretty fun. Panzer Bandit looks fun too. I'm always on the look out for good beat em ups. A friend of mine has recommended Koudelka to me and our friend group a few times and I'm aware of its connections to Shadow Hearts. Might have to give it a try soon! Great video as always!
Ghost in the Shell on the PS1 was amazing.
all of those are rock solid classics
Tail Concerto I thought nobody remembered that game, how nostalgic.
Such a charming game!
Loved that game and also loved the sort of sequel on the DS😊
Literally the first one that came to mind when I saw the video's title.
Is it the prequel of solatorobo?
@@punkjack4344 apparently they're both part of the Little Tail Bronx series
You forgot to mention Vagrant story. It was such a fantastic RPG. Its still ps1 exclusive, although back compatibility mode was available for ps3 etc.
What a fantastic game it was. Should be remade..
Original Dino Crisis series was so good..
Parasite Eve was such a marvelous game..
All those are still on PS1..
I believe they already mentioned Vagrant Story in several videos on this channel, including another video about good games stuck in PS1.
Evil Zone is one of my favorite games, simple yet deep and fun. The Soundtrack is killer, you used it several times.
Guys, seriously, check this game out and give it a fair chance.
Absolutely a hidden gem. You got the spunky tomboy, Kamen Rider wannabe, emo chick.... Definitely a parody of '90s anime... 😂😂😂
a great game i would love to play a re make then get evil zone 2 that was hinted at in the bonus section.
Always loved Evil Zone as a kid, I still play it and my highest survival mode record is 32 with Ihadurca.
I have all three versions of the game and even the trial disc from Japan.
I have the OST, the drama CD, posters, several telephone cards, two copies of the strategy guide, several game ads from Europe and Japan, the clear files, a few copies of the post cards, soon to be three lapel pins, a copy of the OST that has the characters on the cd and the song Kiss in the Dark by Masami Okui, a Midori character shirt, and lastly but most importantly is a Yukes Staff shirt with Ihadurca on it.
I'll spend the next 20+ years looking for the rest of the merchandise. If I get enough materials, I might also try my hand at creating life-like figures.
Cheers fellow Eretzvaju (Evil Zone) brothers and sisters!
It reminds me of some of the SFC YuYu Hakusho games the way it was explained.
Panzer Bandit is amazing and one of my faves for the PS1! You gotta mention Rakugaki Showtime and Mad Stalker if you haven't yet :)
Downloading them now. Hope they are english friendly
A story in three parts:
1. Wow that game looks awesome and interesting, I gotta check it out!
2. Checks ebay prices
3. 😭😭😭
I own Suikoden 2 brand new pristine condition. It cost me only $250.00 US dollars about 15 years ago. Valkyrie Profile 'like new' condition CIB $145.00 US dollars in 2019.
Alundra and Vandal Hearts are my favorite
I really miss these types of games, innovative, creativity and hela fun to play. Nowadays game devs rely only on graphics and devoid of what I've mentioned. There are still some games worth playing but eh. Even square enix is lame, miss the old Square Soft. We still have hope for Indie game devs though.
Does anyone know games that are similar to Thousand Arms? I love that game.
Evil zone was an interesting find for me and i still have the disk stored away to this day. I randomly found it at a flee market and was in one of those old disk envelopes that looked like a brown paper bag. Only really tried it once but honestly had more character with only 2 attack buttons then a lot of others i saw on the system lol.
My Top 10 PS1 Games of all Time are
1. MGS1
2. RE2
3. CastleVania SOTN
4. FF7
5. FF9
6. Spyro 2 Ripto’s Rage
7. Crash Bandicoot Warped
8. Silent Hill
9. RE3 Nemesis
10. Dino Crisis 1 and 2
Panzer Bandit reminds me of Guardian Heroes on the Saturn a bit.
I can vouch for Panzer Bandit. Such a satisfying beatem up to play and great to look at. It’s a huge shame that it was never released in the west.
I absolutely loved Rage Racer and was so disappointed in RR4.
Happy to say I've played and owned about half the games on this list. Will definitely stump for several of them (in particular Evil Zone, Einhander, and SaGa Frontier II).
Thousand Arms ain't too bad either, but the difficulty can be a bit wacky if you don't keep good relationships with the girls. And while Koudelka isn't all that well-known, the sequel series it spawned - Shadow Hearts - was popular enough to get three entries on the PS2 (and sadly, those games are also locked to THAT system and have never been re-released - IIRC, nobody knows who owns the rights to it anymore).
Been wanting to try Tail Concerto out for a bit now, and might finally do so soon.
One that I can add to the list is "Silhouette Mirage". Well, I guess it's technically stuck on the PS1 and Saturn, but only the former got a release in the United States. But despite the game's difficulty (largely thanks to Working Designs), I still think it's a lot of fun and has plenty of charm. Damn good soundtrack, too.
LOVD the Tekken music opener.
Soul Blade
Einhander
Ehrgeiz
Tobal 2
Jade Cocoon
Alundra
Lunar
Lunar 2
Arc the Lad series
That’s just a start.
Riiiiiiiidge racer! Remember that one?
Evil Zone
Einhander
Saga Frontier 2
Rage Racer
Panzer Bandit
Thousand Arms
Soul of the Samurai
Tail Concerto
Syphon Filter 2
Koudelka
Excellent list. But I’d argue that “Stuck On” is a bit of a misnomer. Platform exclusive games are “stuck” at all. It’s just that platform they were developed on. That’s how it’s always been. This whole trend of porting and/or remastering games is only a recent trend and I fear that the industry will lean too heavily on it.
I'm all about buying rare games 🎮
I wasn't even aware of Panzer Bandit. It looks like Guardian HEROES but for PS1! Einhander is an absolute masterpiece of a game. The weapon system is an absolute one of a kind and so engaging especially if you opt for the 3 weapon manipulator arm. I don't know if I'd ever want a remake or even remaster of any of my favorite PS1 games because they are still so great the way they are. I don't know if modern graphics would look right.
Jus obscure games come to mind, the original Tomba!, Blasto, Jersey Devil, Tale Concerto 1, Armored Core and Ace Combat 1, Fighting Force..a lot of the earlier ps1 games that appeared on Jampack demo discs..the PS Underground discs had Metal Gear Solid and bigger gsmes we've played on other consoles or sold in other console digital shops.
PS1 games are one of the easiest to get emulation going. You can get a $75 PSP to do it. If I picked a system to get "stuck" on, it would be a PS1.
I loved oddball offshoot things of (at the time) decade long franchises like Chocobo Dungeon 2, Choco Racing, Bomberman Fantasy Racing, R Type Delta, Xevious 3/Dg+,, RayStorm and Ray Crisis. Then original gems from CyberConnect Silent Bomber and Tail Concerto (DS Sequel out there Red Solatoroba). Tomba 1 and 2 amazing! Guardian's Crusade one of my fav RPGs, easy and fun- but a unique feel and doesn't overstay welcome. Threads of Fate and Legend of Dragoon, I.S. Internal Section, X2 (Sequel of Amiga game) has amazing graphics like Einhander, but hard!
I can speak on the uniquness of Evil Zone. There is nothing else quite like it. That cat game looks very charming. Thanks for the recommendation.
Tail Concerto was an incredibly fun game, I'm so glad to see it's fondly remembered.
I appreciate these videos but wonder which of these don’t cost more than $80
I played the Einhander demo too many times, later I got the game.
Had no expectations for evil zone when I first played it back in the day with my brother, but it soon became one of our all time favorites!
My brother and I used to play it all the time, I always loved Evil Zone as a kid, I still play it and have for the last 20 years. My highest survival mode record is 32 with Ihadurca.
I have all three versions of the game and even the trial disc from Japan.
I have the OST, the drama CD, posters, several telephone cards, two copies of the strategy guide, several game ads from Europe and Japan, the clear files, a few copies of the post cards, soon to be three lapel pins, a copy of the OST that has the characters on the cd and the song Kiss in the Dark by Masami Okui, a Midori character shirt, and lastly but most importantly is a Yukes Staff shirt with Ihadurca on it.
I'll spend the next 20+ years looking for the rest of the merchandise. If I get enough materials, I might also try my hand at creating life-like figures.
Cheers fellow Eretzvaju (Evil Zone) brothers and sisters!
The first PlayStation’s games library is absolutely stacked with quality and innovation. Truly, one of my top three consoles of all time.
Don't know if it's just me who's bad at SHMUPS (but still enjoys the occasional game) but Einhänder is tough.
I think I made it to the 3rd stage and could go any further, kept dying.. But it's a great looking game and plays very well and has a interesting premise/ setting.
PS1 games I would like to see re-released: Dino crisis, Silent hill and a plethora of Japanese only games (text and plot heavy) that I would like to play in english.
From a technical point a thousand arms is pretty impressive for everything that it does.
I know about Koudelka.... though I'm a sucker for digging through and learning about the PS1's diverse library.
Thanks for the video waiting for Top Ten Must Have Xbox.
You should make a video like this for the original xbox, mostly for the sake of talking about jet set radio future
Tenchu stealth assassins and brave fencer musashi.
Tail Concerto have a spirutal sequel for the DS called Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, Its really underrated and have an amazing intro and interesting story. Sadly the game is really expensive but I was lucky geting one for 2 dollars when our local hardware store had a clearance. Highly recommend that game if you can find it for cheap. Really fitting for one of your videos.
Great tips on game btw, keep up the good work!
Bought that last month actually, still yet to play it.
Syphon Filter 2 is available on the PSN on through to the PS5 now.
They need to bring back Um Jammer Lammy with a remaster and a sequel
Just listening to your video intro the amazing Tekken 3 soundtrack takes me to that magic era of PS1 and those to-this-day exclusives. Speaking of breathtaking soundtracks Einhander and Rage Racer man those were among my PS1 favorites games. Thanks for your awesome videos as always!!!
Oh nice! I've not heard of some of these. Thousand Arms looks unique. I need to try some of these. I've been playing Breath of Fire 3 again. Only on PS1 and portable. Best in the series by a longshot and way ahead of its time. I dare say if I played that and FF7 for the first time today they'd be bumping heads.
I just bought bof3 again... soooo good
Great list! Can we get an honorable mention for the Megaman Legends games?😬
VANDAL HEARTS!!!!
Damn you Konami. 🤬
I am honestly so damn glad that companies still made 2D games for the PS1 in an era where U.S. audiences clearly hated it & wanted EVERYTHING to be 3D. Stupid I know. Thank god I wasn't one of those ppl. Some of the greatest PS1 gems were 2D games & they looked simply spectacular! The system was capable of outputting 2D graphics the likes of which I had never seen before, and we got some of the very best 2D games ever made on the console!
Another great video from one of the best videogame channels around.👏🙌
The PSX had some good fighting games, wow
RagnarRox did a great analysis of Koudelka
Crash Bash is another game stuck on the PS1, and also the only from the series to still be stuck on the PS1
the only other games stuck on the PS1 I knew of before this video were Alundra and its sequel, I guess the PS1 library really is huge and there must be like, hundreds of games that never got re-released
4000 games on ps1
Did say and typed RAGE RACER is first I heard that psx game
Considering how good PS1 emulation is, "stuck" can't be applied anymore.
Right their only stuck if you play on consoles unlike android and pc
As always your work is appreciated and my favorite PS1 game is final fantasy tactics
Also in Evil Zone your attack can change if you hold or double tap the attack button. i think it might have been the first fighting game to have dynamic cut scenes in battle. for nearly all moves. i think dragon ball final bout came out earlier than evil zone but the camera only changed for the big special moves or meteo. either way it was among the first fighting games to have the camera change for moves. something arks systems has done since guilty gear xrd.
For me there is also Overboard and Circuit Breaker. Also Silent Bomber and Bushido Blade.
Thread of fate by squaresoft is a fantastic ps1 game
Poy poy 1&2 by Konami another fantastic ps1 exclusive
Tomba 1&2 again 2 excellent games for the ps1
Ohh and lunar 2 I know it was on Sega first but they remake for the ps1 and it’s by far the best jrpg on the ps1
what videogame the music at the beginning of your videos is taken from?
I played a lot of Ridge Racer back in the day. Never heard of Rage Racer
It’s well worth giving a go if your a fan of the series 🙂
A personal question being from welsh do you speak traditional welsh? I ask because I studied middle English in college and had a friend who studied medieval welsh at Cardiff. I find welsh amazingly interesting and complex and being one of the oldest languages still in use, I am always looking for native speakers. Thanks for indulging my question
I'm so hoping for SaGa Frontier 2 remastered for PC like SaGa Frontier Remastered. Huge fan of SaGa.
You should warn viewers that you're using filters and upping the resolution and anti aliasing. The footage you're using looks way better than the original
Ahh.. the ps1. What a gem.
One of the greats!
Granstream Saga is still stuck on PS1
Seeing these run on an emulator that fixes psones shortcomings is nice
You can also over clock cpu so games don’t stutter with fps drops
Given that most modern PCs, mobile phones and tablets are more than capable of emulating the PS1 then they aren't stuck at all.
I just want a Xenogears remake!
Ridge Racer series drift mechanics are still a mystery to me. The real fun I had with Rage Racer was mastering the tracks using the manual transmission.
Just started to watch the video and I'm completely sure you'll mention Vagrant Story. Don't let me down.
Is There Anyone Between the Ages of 20 to 50 Making A TH-cam Channel About the Future of PlayStation Games?
Koudelka is definitely one of the best horror RPGs that’s set in Wales on the PS1.
Big up wales 🏴
Panzer Bandit reminds me a ton of Guardian Heroes.
I’ll second that!
Imported Thousand Arms many many years ago, mainly for the anime cutscenes and the beautiful J-pop theme song - Depend on You by Ayumi Hamasaki - but I never made it far.
Xeno fucking gears
Xenogears is the greatest game ever made. It's a sin that it is stuck on PS1. This game will blow your fucking hair back.
Story: 🔥
Gameplay: 🔥
Graphics: 🔥
Characters: 🔥
Combat: 🔥
Syphon Filter trilogy is amazing. Sadly the ps2 were terrible. Top 3 psx only games I love are Parasite Eve 1, Legend of Dragoon, and Legend of Legaia. Still wish Megaman Legends 3 would come out. Love those games...Rockman Dash!!!
Bust A Groove 😭😭😭😭😭
Final Fantasy 7, Tekken 3, Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo 2 are the greatest PS1 games ever but Bust A Groove is forever stuck on PS1
