So glad to see that you are back in the swing of things and doing better, Your videos do so much for so many people. Truly one of the nicest and most genuine people on here. Thanks for everything Metal Jesus !

One of my absolute favorite PS1 games is MTV Music Generator. Such a great, versatile game for creative projects. It lets you create tracks in different genres, and also lets you create the videos for them.
Absolutely had great times with MTV MG. Very capable music creator. Still have like 4 copies myself lol. You could even sample a few seconds or so from any audio CD to put in your songs. Made hundreds of beats. Lost all my memory cards. Many years ago. Was devastated .

Dude is just living the dream. I spent many hours playing the short game list I had when I was a kid, now I play on emulation but still loving all the games.
Future cop, twisted metal 2, the Gran turismo series, tekken series. during that era it was a blast playing these classics, the roots of where 3D games really originated from.. very nostalgic collection.

This took me all the way back to the late 90’s… I remember working in a Blockbuster when the PS1 and Sega Saturn were released and we rented them out for 7 day stretches with the array of launch titles… basically everyone wanted Ridge Racer and Battle Arena Toshinden! Another launch title I fondly remember (although looking back seems actually quite a poor game) was Kileak The Blood, a Doom-like FPS where you are in a Mechsuit. Like I say, probably not that strong a game any more but a curiosity you should definitely check out and have in your collection, especially as it was a Launch Title.
Nostalgia. I use to buy the used games at blockbuster. Their used games were cheap and they always had the buy 2 get one free sales on used video games.

Spider man on ps1 was amazing. I recommend trying out the second one in that series. It's overlooked but still a fun title. And if you love racing games I highly recommend Sled storm. It's fairly common and not expensive at all so you probably have heard of it but it's one of the few racing games that has 4 player split screen. And a killer soundtrack.

Crusaders of Might and Magic was the RPG game that I had the most fun in my childhood, I remember it was very difficult to imagine for a young 10 year old boy, I just remembered because my collections of games and consoles were stolen, just reviewing this cover brings me back to that eyes-purple-cryingface-red-heart-shape 10 year old boy. Thank you for his video it made me feel too, it reminded me of my childhood.
Nostalgia overload man, you have such a cool collection. I began gaming at 6 when i got a Sega Mega Drive for Christmas & it was my console until i turned 11 & had money from certain different occasions, which i saved & put toward paying for the PS1, well about half, my parents footed the rest of the bill. Such great times with that console & such an amazing library of games, great times.
I seen Lunar (both 1 and 2) at the start which I got both complete collectors edition then I see Soul Edge, Tekken (have them all), Star Wars Masters, Bushido Blade 2 (never played the first one), Legend of Dragoon, 007 game, Future Cop, Spiderman, Syphon Filter 2, Dark Stone, Test Drive Offroad...... these were what I seen that I have/had (only missing 1 or 2 from my list today) but Ehrgeiz is definitely a gem of a game to have in a collection
I'm going for a complete Ps1 collection. It's been a blast. I buy boxes of new jewel cases off of ebay and replace the old junky cases. Made the process of collecting easier since case condition is no longer a factor. So long as the art and manual are in good shape then I can add a game to the collection
Traded in a lot of my PS1 collection to GameStop during the PS2 era so I could buy new games. Luckily none of those games had gone up insanely in price so I was able to rebuild it over last year. Also happy to see Breath of Fire 3 in your collection, even if it's loose. One of my all time favorite games
Demo discs sometimes came with a magazine that was released monthly. Tales of Destiny, and Valkyrie Profile are a couple games to try to find and play.
Devil Dice, Loaded and Bishi Bashi kept me up at night whenever I felt like taking a break from a complete new run on Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which is to this day, my top 1 game ever.
“One” was one of my first PlayStation games. I remember being excited when my father took us to Toys R us to pick it up. A lot of good memories. I remember the game the being hard though
I remember playing the PSN version of FFVII on PS3 when it was first available, and having a friend of a friend come over and ask me if I was playing the black label physical version. Some people seem to think the PS1 green and black label versions have major differences in the games themselves.
Some did, some had fixes that couldn't be addressed in first edition and greatest hits was only reserved for the best games also because they offered them cheaper after a certain amount of sales. They can be compared to game of the year editions now and since ps1 games played off the disc, all of the data had to be on them. I remember when my aunt and uncle bought me and my little brother a ps1 for Xmas and then our washer broke so they had to take it back because my mom couldn't afford a new washer. 💔 gotten a used one cheap shortly after ps2 came out and had it couple years before getting a brand new ps2 and later breaking it. Now the systems are cheap but games are expensive, but some people care more about making money then playing games(myself included).

Still remember buying my PS1 back in the days it came with Air Combat and I added Kileak to that purchase. I did a all nighter that night and the same happened when Gran Turismo got released 😁👍
I’ve been growing my ps1 collection slowly. I try not to just buy up every ps1 game i see but have found some fun ones here and there. I only have 19 but look forward to any I find when retro hunting. Can’t wait to go to hawii and maybe find some hidden gems there.
Jackie chan: Stuntmaster, Ninja: shadow of darkness, Tenchu, Nightmare creatures, Klonoa, Ape escape, Tekken 3, Legacy of kain, Jumping flash 2, Twisted metal 2, Crash bandicoot 3, Metal gear solid, Resident evil 2, Silent hill, Gran turismo, Firo & klawd, Fighting force, Final fantasy 7, Lunar, Legend of legaia, Jojo's bizare adventures... so many good games!
Glad to see some Future Cop: LAPD footage. The multiplayer of this game brought a bunch of fun and joy for me and cousins back in the day. Vigilante 8-2 was bonkers, i personally liked it more than Twisted Metal games. I still remember the disco car ultimate and its "uh uh" sound. Thanks for putting together such a nice video!
I played through Croc: Legend of the Gobbos yesterday and would recommend picking that up. 3D platformer with focus on collecting all the Gobbos within the stages. It starts off deceptively easy. I need to look into Croc 2.
PS1 was such a nostalgic system for me. Spyro and Crash Bandicoot were big favorites thank you for sharing your favorites! Glad to see you making videos again! Hope you and Mrs. Metal Jesus have a great new year.
If we are honest and take off nostalgia goggles 90% of the PS1 library is pretty rough to play today. However, the 10% that do play well (good control and framerate) are timeless gold. If anyone is curious here is a selection of games in my collection of PS1 games that I think still hold up very well today. I am sure there are many I have missed but these for sure hold up: Board Game Top Shop Bravo Air Race Bushido Blade Evil Zone Felony 11-79 Moto Racer NFS High Stakes No One Can Stop Mr. Domino Omaga Boost One Piece Mansion Ray Tracers Road Rash Runabout 2 Sled Storm Soul Blade Warpath: Jurassic Park
The PS1 is my second favorite console of all time! A hidden gem and holy grail game that you should totally try to get is a game called Tail Concerto. You talked about it on your channel in the past. Solatorobo is the the spiritual successor to it and the characters from Tail Concerto even make appearances in Solatorobo as well.
I did notice you have King's Field II although it was the 3rd game in the series and King's Field was the second game in the series its a great first person RPG and its got a lot of jump scares great game but hard as hell. Well worth a play through and its the same company who would make the Soul's series.
You know how Jason is my kind of gamer? He’ll take a greatest hits or loose game. He doesn’t go so far down the rabbit hole that he won’t pick them up. True gamer.
I notice you put loose CDs on the binder. They tend to get scratches when you pull out the games from the binder. Might want to reconsider to have them in single CD cases.
Nice collection! The one game I would definitely recommend you add to your PS1 collection is one of my own faves, a lucky discovery back in the day - N2O: Nitrous Oxide. It's a tube shooter (think in the vein of Tempest), where you're moving around the inside of various shaped tunnels destroying a variety of insects. The soundtrack is all Crystal Method, too - so with the music and visuals, it's just a wild experience and I can't recommend it enough. Especially as it tends to be quite inexpensive! Tall Infinity is a definite oddity that doesn't get the love it deserves. A streamer I watch picked up the game, and it's a really interesting and involved action puzzle game. Dirt cheap, too, so a heavy RECOMMEND to anyone who loves those kind of games. There's a Japan-only sequel to it too, Tall: Twins Tower, which is even better in every way. Sadly, that one is EXPENSIVE - $300 and up for a copy.

I still play Krazy Ivan, a Mech game and for lack of a better description a hidden gem, and CT Special Forces on the PS1. N.Gen Racing is also a favorite
In the UK we had Platinum releases instead of Greatest Hits and they used silver to denote the difference which looks much better than neon green. Also I miss those great light gun games like Time Crisis and Point Blank as well Die Hard Trilogy which had a light gun game for the 2nd movie.
I would recommend the NTSC-J version of Einhänder since that version gives you unlimited continues, sure, some things in the menu are in japanese, but the game is totally playable and a LOT cheaper! Besides, that cover art is amazingly awesome XD
Hi MetalJesus! If you ever visit Japan again, try looking for Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere, which is the truly complete version of the game coming in 2 discs, unlike the NTSC-US port which was hideously butchered because of corporate decisions. That is if you can find it for a decent price, given that the game is an absolute cult classic and it would be north of $100 if not more. But it's well worth every cent for all Ace Combat fans, myself included. Have a good one!
Yo Metal Jesus. I love your videos and you got me inspired to revamp my game collecting. To this day I regret not keeping my old PS1, N64, Genesis, SNES, boxed CD ROM PC games. I am slowly on a hunt to get these old games back.
Nice collection, yeah there's definitely a number of games that are not cheap by any means, though also a lot that are around the price they were when they came out (not counting inflation). My PS1 collection is small, but I've mainly been looking for games I played or had as a kid. I was wondering when you might stream again, in particular I'd love to see you play Shivers, because of your Sierra history, which if you don't know has a randomizer available usable with the ScummVM version. It has a good number of options to make it more replay-able; added locations, solving certain puzzles, room randomization, etc.
Ps one was my first console and Mega man X 4 the first game that played in my life, I saw the game is on your collection , so cool , also love to discover hidden gems for this console.
Test drive 6 was just a GEM of a racing game, the opening songclip of ``Cars by Fear Factory`` always made you so hyped up for the whole campaign and the car pool was so well chosen. That was the game that made me fall in love with the Shelby Cobra car. Definetily the best console ever, there`s just games for ALL kinds of taste in there and every genre has mustiple epic games, oh man!
Elemental Gearbolt looked really interesting! I remember the post: I chose FF8. Currently, I started to play Suikoden (Digital version). It is nice, how PS had also Diablo and Wing Commander in their selection. It might be that some of these earlier Gran Turismo and Ace Combat games have Ultraracer combatibility. Nice to see collection divided into categories. There are so many different kinds of games to PS (Galerians, Vampire Hunter D and the X-Files: The Game,...)
I had no idea there was a Vampire Hunter D PS1 game. That was one of the first anime I saw waaaay back in the day on Saturday Anime on the sci-fi channel 🤣
Awesome video, MJR! My "prized" PS1 games are Suikoden (sadly not 2), Xenogears, and Star Ocean: The Second Story. I really want to get Lunar: Silver Star Story at some point but never see it pop up locally.
238! damn nice MJR, im currently at 103 PS1 games in my collection. I've got a lot of the PS1's best games like the Spyro Trilogy, the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy, The Syphon Filter Trilogy, Dino Crisis 1 and the highly sought after Dino Crisis 2. resident evil 1 , 2 and 3 and even Survivor. metal gear solid and vr missions, ape escape, the jet moto trilogy and all of the Tomb Raider games, the first 3 of them being in a special collectors set with the original box too. i even have sealed copies of Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver and Tomb Raider 3! and yes, Forsaken is a game i absolutly love too. that game cant get enough Praise. i own it for ps1, the N64 and the remaster on PC.
As somebody who has been buying manuals and other inserts for loose games I've purchased to make them complete, money isn't necessarily saved going after them to make them complete. Although, it depends on the game. I've gotten manuals for as cheap as around $5. Other times, I've paid enough that I could have just gone for a CIB copy of the game on eBay. I've also seen loose games going for nearly as much as CIB. Again, it really depends on the title.
I agree, it is often more expensive to puzzle together a complete collection. But it's a rewarding feeling to bring everything back together. When you find a loose copy for very cheap, it can be a fun little project.
I love the long boxes. As a kid/teen that spanned the Ps1 era, the long boxes always seemed nostalgic to me EVEN AT THE TIME haha. Like, I would be browsing new ps1 releases and see the long box used games at the bottom of a rack and think "wow, so olllld". Some of those early LB's also scream VERY early 3d era when compared to the later games.
I totally know what you mean. A couple years into the PS1's life and those long boxes seemed like relics of the past. There was a ton of advancement during the PS1's lifespan in terms of graphics and average game quality, since developers started to come to terms with the new tech and figure out how to actually make 3D games. So yeah, early PS1 games definitely feel much more dated than later PS1 games.

The original PlayStation was the platform that brought me back to consoles from PC gaming. I had a friend that installed a game on my PC and overwrote my drivers and broke my capture card. As a freelance graphic designer, my primary design platform was offline until I could fix everything. At that point I said, no more PC gaming and I got a PlayStation to keep those worlds straight. There was no turning back for me. Sure, I eventually got a N64 and Sega Saturn, but my primary platform for that era was the PS1 and I have over 200 titles for it including some real heavy hitters. like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Black Label), Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, Suikoden II, Silent Hill, Elemental Gearbolt, Einhander, Silent Bomber, Silhouette Mirage, and Valkyrie Profile. I loved the Namco Museums on the PS1 and they released five volumes (each with a different letter spelling out N-A-M-C-O). Volumes 1 (N) and 3 (M) were the most popular. I actually own two copies of volume 5 (O) which has become exceptionally rare. When I was visiting a friend in Chicago in the late '90s, we stopped into a game store and I found a sealed copy of Volume 5 (O). Since I already had an open copy, I bought that one and kept it in the shrink wrap. I believe I got if for $15. Sealed copies of rare games can be CRAZY expensive! My open copy of Volume 5 (O) is valued at over $200 these days. My sealed copy is valued between 2x and 3x that much. That's just freakin' insane! I have two other PS1 titles that I misplaced after buying them and didn't open them. I found them in a box of work stuff a few years ago and checked out their prices before opening them. I decided to leave them shrink-wrapped and I have found alternate ways to play them. They're R-Type Delta and Castlevania Chronicles. I got both at Best Buy for $19.99 each. The current combined value for that $40 investment is $800. I have never bought a videogame with the thought, "This is an investment." I've bought games because I love playing games. Heck, my purchasing evolved toward the end of the PS2 era when I realized that I could get a second hand title in great condition for a fraction of the original price if I was just patient. I remember buying GTA III used for $29.99 a few months after it came out. 9 months later, the same store was selling its copies for $4.95. If a game is popular, they'll sell a whole bunch. I have plenty of other games I can play in the meantime, so I just wait. Sometimes, I don't even have to buy them used. Sometimes you can get new games at clearance prices at the end of a console's life. I bought my copy of Conker's Bad Fur Day new from Amazon shortly after the Gamecube was released. It was only $20. Similarly, I got my Gamecube copies of Twilight Princess and Pikmin 2 just after the Wii came out. Twilight Princess was $20 from Amazon and Pikmin 2 was $7 at K-Mart. Again - I'm not in this for the money. I knew that Pikmin 2 was a crazy deal (although I didn't know how rare it was). They had a shelf full of them that they were blowing out. I didn't buy a bunch to then scalp them. I told friends that they were available so they could get them too. I bought one copy. It's crazy what some of these titles are going for these days. However, I'm grateful that so many of these are available for digital download for many current platforms or via modern re-releases. I never got an original copy of Chrono Trigger for the SNES, but I have it on the PS1 via Final Fantasy Chronicles, I've got it on my iPad from the App Store, and I can play it on my Wii via the Virtual Console download. It's all about playing the games, but it is crazy how the collector mentality has made it much more difficult to acquire physical media for original releases - especially if you want to preserve them with their boxes an manuals in good condition. Heck, boxes and manuals are a whole other topic and such a source for nostalgia. Yet, publishers have practically abandoned manuals. I still have my original manual for Automated SImulations' Dunjonquest: Temple of Apshai for the TRS-80. The drawings and the descriptions of the rooms and treasures fill me with joy every time I pull it out and page through it. This is an experience that current gamers will never experience when they reminisce as they get older. Similarly, they won't have the experience of reading liner notes from albums and CDs since their musical experiences have been through Spotify, TH-cam, and other streaming services. The way we experience our media is continuing to evolve. I'm grateful for the availability, but curious what the evolution in distribution and streaming will mean to physical media and how collectors may continue to drive prices on those original releases. Thanks for another great video, MetalJesusRocks! Peace.
Man I feel like it’s been ages since we got a collection video from you! PS1 is an amazing system, suikoden 1&2 will always be some of my favorites on that system.
Return Fire is a hidden gem for PC/PS1. It's a top down, military capture-the-flag game kinda like Desert Strike or Jungle Strike/Urban Strike, I forget what they were called exactly for the SNES/Genesis era.
Skullmonkeys is definitely a “hidden gem” on the PS1 IMO especially if you are a fan of platformers and claymation. One of the most bizarre games in my personal collection and absolutely hilarious.
Skullmonkeys! Yes! Love that game (and its sort-of prequel adventure game The Neverhood), but man it was hard as hell! I don't think I ever managed to beat it. Great game though.

You rock! Wishing you and yours and the team a great 2023! Looking forward to more awesome videos. Ps1 was my first console even though I was already like 16 or so. They really got me with that cool teen marketing (wipeout1) . The fact that you collect also the Japanese imports and follow the Japanese library is great. A lot of us grew up as internationals around this era and had access to the Japanese models and ahem pirates games only. My first game was Zero Divide haha
Loved the video! ps1 is my all time favourite console. When you showed car combats, I noticed there was no Rogue Trip. I loved that game and always thought it was underestimated. Do you know it? have you ever played it? take care my man!
Enjoyed the historical tone of this video, especially how publishers tried to bring a new approach to old games, during the PS1 era...awesome job as always!
Man, those Lunar collections look pristine! I got them sitting around too. They're not exactly beat up but there is some fraying on the corners of the boxes. I still have that pendant though and love it tons. Small question that may be a tad random. Mind if I ask what bitrate you post your videos at? They always look so clean and sharp! Especially the game footage!
im in the 50's ish on my collection. i did do a bit of the sports games. but i wanted to go more mid tier games.. im sure i can get really high if i keep on the real cheapies. this collection here is great..
I am an aging collector. My question is, what is your end plan? Do you plan that your collection will be sold? Do you plan to sell it off at some point? How do you weigh the possible years you have left, against a pile of games, and prioritize? Then that begs deeper questions like if time is limited, should I bother gaming?
I really wish I wouldn't have sold all of my RPGs and I never got to play fear effect but I remember being so tempted by it for a long time in the Walmart display.
Highly recommend getting a old ps1 Fromsoftware game called Shadow Tower (also available on psn). Also Trap Gunner and Galerians if you don't already have them.
Cool video as usual. Missed my favorite ps1 game thou- TIME COMMANDO. Talk about a unike game with an amazing story. That would be the first game i would do a remake of if i was a game dev. Keep up the amazing work mjr! 🥂
Yo! MJR!!! FANTASTIC COLLECTION!!!! As someone who grew up with the ps1 i always wanted to own these games as it's my favorite console but Don't have the money to do so, now it's going to be a challenge to get from rare to super rare to ridiculously rare and mostly underrated hidden gems that do need some love!!! Great video!!!!
absolutely kicking myself that I had sold my old PSOne, and fat PS2 back in the day to get other consoles. Used to own RE, Nightmare Creatures, SH, Parasite Eve, the Twisted Metal series, and CTR and so many others. Games that go for 100s nowadays.
Yes!!! This is the video I’ve been waiting for.
REGGGGGGGIE! We need YOUR version of this video. It would be EPIC 😍
@@MetalJesusRocks 😎 Soon. Very soon.
I would love to see a Sega Genesis buying guide by you guys!
I'm looking forward to more pick-ups from the two of you.
if you mention PS1 Reggie appears out of thin air. It's a known fact and something Sony have been trying to explain for years.
So glad to see that you are back in the swing of things and doing better, Your videos do so much for so many people. Truly one of the nicest and most genuine people on here. Thanks for everything Metal Jesus !
Thank you so much! 😍

I loved the second one on PS2. Put many many many hours into it
Absolutely had great times with MTV MG. Very capable music creator. Still have like 4 copies myself lol. You could even sample a few seconds or so from any audio CD to put in your songs. Made hundreds of beats. Lost all my memory cards. Many years ago. Was devastated .

PS1 has aged so well. Playing through the original Crash series now. So beautiful and fun gameplay.
Still have a ps2 and play ps1 games on it. Crash 3' crash team racing' final fantasy 9... The ps1 has great games.

Dude is just living the dream. I spent many hours playing the short game list I had when I was a kid, now I play on emulation but still loving all the games.
PS1 is my favorite console of all time. So many great games. Cool to see Fear Effect appreciated as it's one of my favorites as well.
Strikers 1945 is absolutely fantastic on the PS 1. It's actually my favorite way to play the game, even over the arcade version.
This takes me back to 1999. I wish time stopped there and never moved.
Future cop, twisted metal 2, the Gran turismo series, tekken series.
during that era it was a blast playing these classics, the roots of where 3D games really originated from..
very nostalgic collection.
Twisted metal!
Future Cop LAPD!!!!

This took me all the way back to the late 90’s… I remember working in a Blockbuster when the PS1 and Sega Saturn were released and we rented them out for 7 day stretches with the array of launch titles… basically everyone wanted Ridge Racer and Battle Arena Toshinden! Another launch title I fondly remember (although looking back seems actually quite a poor game) was Kileak The Blood, a Doom-like FPS where you are in a Mechsuit. Like I say, probably not that strong a game any more but a curiosity you should definitely check out and have in your collection, especially as it was a Launch Title.
Nostalgia. I use to buy the used games at blockbuster. Their used games were cheap and they always had the buy 2 get one free sales on used video games.

Spider man on ps1 was amazing. I recommend trying out the second one in that series. It's overlooked but still a fun title. And if you love racing games I highly recommend Sled storm. It's fairly common and not expensive at all so you probably have heard of it but it's one of the few racing games that has 4 player split screen. And a killer soundtrack.
3 PS1 games I still play in 2023. MGS1, MGS vr missions, and syphon filter 1. Love how the PS3 still plays these games!
Happy to see a return to form for your videos. Love hearing you talk old games and nostalgia. Thank you
Glad you like them!

MDK , Madden, Resident Evil were the first 3 games I bought back in the day when I purchased my first Playstation at Toyz R Us.
I wish I could have a collection like this, but it's great see yours in such detail, and the videos are always great to watch
MARCH 24, great collection man, so satisfying to watch this video
Great to see you and your amazing PS1 collection! Would love to see you do this for the consoles you haven't done previously. ❤️🔥
Thanks! Will do!
@@MetalJesusRocks What's you'r Ps1 game that you always going back to play? Mine would have to be Razor Scooter game idk why it's memories 😆

Crusaders of Might and Magic was the RPG game that I had the most fun in my childhood, I remember it was very difficult to imagine for a young 10 year old boy, I just remembered because my collections of games and consoles were stolen, just reviewing this cover brings me back to that eyes-purple-cryingface-red-heart-shape 10 year old boy.
Thank you for his video it made me feel too, it reminded me of my childhood.
Nostalgia overload man, you have such a cool collection. I began gaming at 6 when i got a Sega Mega Drive for Christmas & it was my console until i turned 11 & had money from certain different occasions, which i saved & put toward paying for the PS1, well about half, my parents footed the rest of the bill. Such great times with that console & such an amazing library of games, great times.
I seen Lunar (both 1 and 2) at the start which I got both complete collectors edition then I see Soul Edge, Tekken (have them all), Star Wars Masters, Bushido Blade 2 (never played the first one), Legend of Dragoon, 007 game, Future Cop, Spiderman, Syphon Filter 2, Dark Stone, Test Drive Offroad...... these were what I seen that I have/had (only missing 1 or 2 from my list today) but Ehrgeiz is definitely a gem of a game to have in a collection
I'm going for a complete Ps1 collection. It's been a blast. I buy boxes of new jewel cases off of ebay and replace the old junky cases. Made the process of collecting easier since case condition is no longer a factor. So long as the art and manual are in good shape then I can add a game to the collection
Traded in a lot of my PS1 collection to GameStop during the PS2 era so I could buy new games. Luckily none of those games had gone up insanely in price so I was able to rebuild it over last year.
Also happy to see Breath of Fire 3 in your collection, even if it's loose. One of my all time favorite games
Demo discs sometimes came with a magazine that was released monthly. Tales of Destiny, and Valkyrie Profile are a couple games to try to find and play.
Devil Dice, Loaded and Bishi Bashi kept me up at night whenever I felt like taking a break from a complete new run on Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which is to this day, my top 1 game ever.
Great way to start my morning with Metal Jesus Rocks and The Retro World PS1 great console for JRPGS just like the SNES was
“One” was one of my first PlayStation games. I remember being excited when my father took us to Toys R us to pick it up. A lot of good memories. I remember the game the being hard though
I remember playing the PSN version of FFVII on PS3 when it was first available, and having a friend of a friend come over and ask me if I was playing the black label physical version. Some people seem to think the PS1 green and black label versions have major differences in the games themselves.
Some did, some had fixes that couldn't be addressed in first edition and greatest hits was only reserved for the best games also because they offered them cheaper after a certain amount of sales. They can be compared to game of the year editions now and since ps1 games played off the disc, all of the data had to be on them. I remember when my aunt and uncle bought me and my little brother a ps1 for Xmas and then our washer broke so they had to take it back because my mom couldn't afford a new washer. 💔 gotten a used one cheap shortly after ps2 came out and had it couple years before getting a brand new ps2 and later breaking it. Now the systems are cheap but games are expensive, but some people care more about making money then playing games(myself included).

Still remember buying my PS1 back in the days it came with Air Combat and I added Kileak to that purchase.
I did a all nighter that night and the same happened when Gran Turismo got released 😁👍
I’ve been growing my ps1 collection slowly. I try not to just buy up every ps1 game i see but have found some fun ones here and there. I only have 19 but look forward to any I find when retro hunting. Can’t wait to go to hawii and maybe find some hidden gems there.
Jackie chan: Stuntmaster, Ninja: shadow of darkness, Tenchu, Nightmare creatures, Klonoa, Ape escape, Tekken 3, Legacy of kain, Jumping flash 2, Twisted metal 2, Crash bandicoot 3, Metal gear solid, Resident evil 2, Silent hill, Gran turismo, Firo & klawd, Fighting force, Final fantasy 7, Lunar, Legend of legaia, Jojo's bizare adventures... so many good games!
Glad to see some Future Cop: LAPD footage. The multiplayer of this game brought a bunch of fun and joy for me and cousins back in the day.
Vigilante 8-2 was bonkers, i personally liked it more than Twisted Metal games. I still remember the disco car ultimate and its "uh uh" sound.
Thanks for putting together such a nice video!
I played through Croc: Legend of the Gobbos yesterday and would recommend picking that up. 3D platformer with focus on collecting all the Gobbos within the stages. It starts off deceptively easy. I need to look into Croc 2.
PS1 was such a nostalgic system for me. Spyro and Crash Bandicoot were big favorites thank you for sharing your favorites! Glad to see you making videos again! Hope you and Mrs. Metal Jesus have a great new year.
If we are honest and take off nostalgia goggles 90% of the PS1 library is pretty rough to play today. However, the 10% that do play well (good control and framerate) are timeless gold. If anyone is curious here is a selection of games in my collection of PS1 games that I think still hold up very well today. I am sure there are many I have missed but these for sure hold up:
Board Game Top Shop
Bravo Air Race
Bushido Blade
Evil Zone
Felony 11-79
Moto Racer
NFS High Stakes
No One Can Stop Mr. Domino
Omaga Boost
One Piece Mansion
Ray Tracers
Road Rash
Runabout 2
Sled Storm
Soul Blade
Warpath: Jurassic Park
The PS1 is my second favorite console of all time! A hidden gem and holy grail game that you should totally try to get is a game called Tail Concerto. You talked about it on your channel in the past. Solatorobo is the the spiritual successor to it and the characters from Tail Concerto even make appearances in Solatorobo as well.
Thank you fro making Brain Nead 13 go up in price after this video lol!!! Great meeting you know Wisconsin Convention last year!!
I did notice you have King's Field II although it was the 3rd game in the series and King's Field was the second game in the series its a great first person RPG and its got a lot of jump scares great game but hard as hell. Well worth a play through and its the same company who would make the Soul's series.
You know how Jason is my kind of gamer? He’ll take a greatest hits or loose game. He doesn’t go so far down the rabbit hole that he won’t pick them up. True gamer.
Haha, thanks for liking the same comment twice. I forgot to include your “acceptance” of loose games as well. Rock on dude.
I notice you put loose CDs on the binder. They tend to get scratches when you pull out the games from the binder. Might want to reconsider to have them in single CD cases.
Nice collection! The one game I would definitely recommend you add to your PS1 collection is one of my own faves, a lucky discovery back in the day - N2O: Nitrous Oxide. It's a tube shooter (think in the vein of Tempest), where you're moving around the inside of various shaped tunnels destroying a variety of insects. The soundtrack is all Crystal Method, too - so with the music and visuals, it's just a wild experience and I can't recommend it enough. Especially as it tends to be quite inexpensive!
Tall Infinity is a definite oddity that doesn't get the love it deserves. A streamer I watch picked up the game, and it's a really interesting and involved action puzzle game. Dirt cheap, too, so a heavy RECOMMEND to anyone who loves those kind of games. There's a Japan-only sequel to it too, Tall: Twins Tower, which is even better in every way. Sadly, that one is EXPENSIVE - $300 and up for a copy.
I really enjoyed this video! What a fantastic collection of games! It's amazing how vast the PlayStation back catalog is. Awesome stuff MJR 😃
Glad you enjoyed it!

I still play Krazy Ivan, a Mech game and for lack of a better description a hidden gem, and CT Special Forces on the PS1. N.Gen Racing is also a favorite
In the UK we had Platinum releases instead of Greatest Hits and they used silver to denote the difference which looks much better than neon green. Also I miss those great light gun games like Time Crisis and Point Blank as well Die Hard Trilogy which had a light gun game for the 2nd movie.
I would recommend the NTSC-J version of Einhänder since that version gives you unlimited continues, sure, some things in the menu are in japanese, but the game is totally playable and a LOT cheaper! Besides, that cover art is amazingly awesome XD
i was so addicted to Tony Hawks Pro Skater. Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 are 2 of my favorite games of all time. those are so much fun.
We've missed you Sir MJR! Happy New year and looking forward to more videos from you in 2023!
I actually don't mind the green label it stands out and you know automatically that it's PS just catching your eye.
Great Video! Been waiting for this
Hi MetalJesus! If you ever visit Japan again, try looking for Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere, which is the truly complete version of the game coming in 2 discs, unlike the NTSC-US port which was hideously butchered because of corporate decisions. That is if you can find it for a decent price, given that the game is an absolute cult classic and it would be north of $100 if not more. But it's well worth every cent for all Ace Combat fans, myself included. Have a good one!
I might be going back to Japan this year. Thanks!
PS1 was an absolute juggernaut back in the day. My top 3 favorite games of all time are found on the PS1. Silent Hill, Driver, Doom.
Freaking awesome collection, I have about 160 PS1 games, all black label, still building it.
Saw some games that you have that I definitely want.
I love your collection videos and your new outro design. Could we possibly see your Sega Genesis collection?
Great episode as usual! Brought back a lot of memories from my younger days! Thanks MJR!
Glad you enjoyed it
Yo Metal Jesus. I love your videos and you got me inspired to revamp my game collecting. To this day I regret not keeping my old PS1, N64, Genesis, SNES, boxed CD ROM PC games. I am slowly on a hunt to get these old games back.
Nice collection, yeah there's definitely a number of games that are not cheap by any means, though also a lot that are around the price they were when they came out (not counting inflation). My PS1 collection is small, but I've mainly been looking for games I played or had as a kid.
I was wondering when you might stream again, in particular I'd love to see you play Shivers, because of your Sierra history, which if you don't know has a randomizer available usable with the ScummVM version. It has a good number of options to make it more replay-able; added locations, solving certain puzzles, room randomization, etc.
Ps one was my first console and Mega man X 4 the first game that played in my life, I saw the game is on your collection , so cool , also love to discover hidden gems for this console.
What a crime to have Alundra as a loose copy, that game right there is a true gem, definitely on my top tier list of ps one games
Test drive 6 was just a GEM of a racing game, the opening songclip of ``Cars by Fear Factory`` always made you so hyped up for the whole campaign and the car pool was so well chosen. That was the game that made me fall in love with the Shelby Cobra car. Definetily the best console ever, there`s just games for ALL kinds of taste in there and every genre has mustiple epic games, oh man!
Elemental Gearbolt looked really interesting! I remember the post: I chose FF8. Currently, I started to play Suikoden (Digital version). It is nice, how PS had also Diablo and Wing Commander in their selection. It might be that some of these earlier Gran Turismo and Ace Combat games have Ultraracer combatibility. Nice to see collection divided into categories. There are so many different kinds of games to PS (Galerians, Vampire Hunter D and the X-Files: The Game,...)
Elemental Gearbolt has one of the best sountracks of any game ever. It's worth playing for the music alone.
I had no idea there was a Vampire Hunter D PS1 game. That was one of the first anime I saw waaaay back in the day on Saturday Anime on the sci-fi channel 🤣
Awesome video, MJR! My "prized" PS1 games are Suikoden (sadly not 2), Xenogears, and Star Ocean: The Second Story. I really want to get Lunar: Silver Star Story at some point but never see it pop up locally.
Best game on the PS1 is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
I have yet to finish it!! I know, I know... #SHAME 😂 Maybe I should do that this weekend.
Must get the best sword at the inverted library… farm those flying monsters.
@@MetalJesusRocks Live stream, please! 😁
@@MetalJesusRocks STREAM IT
What about Metal gear solid?
238! damn nice MJR, im currently at 103 PS1 games in my collection. I've got a lot of the PS1's best games like the Spyro Trilogy, the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy, The Syphon Filter Trilogy, Dino Crisis 1 and the highly sought after Dino Crisis 2. resident evil 1 , 2 and 3 and even Survivor. metal gear solid and vr missions, ape escape, the jet moto trilogy and all of the Tomb Raider games, the first 3 of them being in a special collectors set with the original box too. i even have sealed copies of Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver and Tomb Raider 3! and yes, Forsaken is a game i absolutly love too. that game cant get enough Praise. i own it for ps1, the N64 and the remaster on PC.
As somebody who has been buying manuals and other inserts for loose games I've purchased to make them complete, money isn't necessarily saved going after them to make them complete. Although, it depends on the game. I've gotten manuals for as cheap as around $5. Other times, I've paid enough that I could have just gone for a CIB copy of the game on eBay. I've also seen loose games going for nearly as much as CIB. Again, it really depends on the title.
I agree, it is often more expensive to puzzle together a complete collection. But it's a rewarding feeling to bring everything back together. When you find a loose copy for very cheap, it can be a fun little project.
@@VogueDistortion Part of the "thrill of the hunt."
I'm in the process of collecting for the PS1 and this video helps me a lot. Thank you for sharing your collection with us.
So brutal collecting for PS1 now. So pricey. Just bought Parasite Eve and Grandia recently for 200 bucks. I need to stop😅
I love the long boxes. As a kid/teen that spanned the Ps1 era, the long boxes always seemed nostalgic to me EVEN AT THE TIME haha. Like, I would be browsing new ps1 releases and see the long box used games at the bottom of a rack and think "wow, so olllld". Some of those early LB's also scream VERY early 3d era when compared to the later games.
I totally know what you mean. A couple years into the PS1's life and those long boxes seemed like relics of the past. There was a ton of advancement during the PS1's lifespan in terms of graphics and average game quality, since developers started to come to terms with the new tech and figure out how to actually make 3D games. So yeah, early PS1 games definitely feel much more dated than later PS1 games.

Metal Jesus rocks love your channel great vidoes lots of good memories very nice ps1 games collection m
Thank you kindly
Omg!! Pure nostalgia in your collection!
The original PlayStation was the platform that brought me back to consoles from PC gaming.
I had a friend that installed a game on my PC and overwrote my drivers and broke my capture card. As a freelance graphic designer, my primary design platform was offline until I could fix everything. At that point I said, no more PC gaming and I got a PlayStation to keep those worlds straight. There was no turning back for me. Sure, I eventually got a N64 and Sega Saturn, but my primary platform for that era was the PS1 and I have over 200 titles for it including some real heavy hitters. like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Black Label), Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, Suikoden II, Silent Hill, Elemental Gearbolt, Einhander, Silent Bomber, Silhouette Mirage, and Valkyrie Profile. I loved the Namco Museums on the PS1 and they released five volumes (each with a different letter spelling out N-A-M-C-O). Volumes 1 (N) and 3 (M) were the most popular. I actually own two copies of volume 5 (O) which has become exceptionally rare. When I was visiting a friend in Chicago in the late '90s, we stopped into a game store and I found a sealed copy of Volume 5 (O). Since I already had an open copy, I bought that one and kept it in the shrink wrap. I believe I got if for $15. Sealed copies of rare games can be CRAZY expensive! My open copy of Volume 5 (O) is valued at over $200 these days. My sealed copy is valued between 2x and 3x that much. That's just freakin' insane!
I have two other PS1 titles that I misplaced after buying them and didn't open them. I found them in a box of work stuff a few years ago and checked out their prices before opening them. I decided to leave them shrink-wrapped and I have found alternate ways to play them. They're R-Type Delta and Castlevania Chronicles. I got both at Best Buy for $19.99 each. The current combined value for that $40 investment is $800.
I have never bought a videogame with the thought, "This is an investment." I've bought games because I love playing games. Heck, my purchasing evolved toward the end of the PS2 era when I realized that I could get a second hand title in great condition for a fraction of the original price if I was just patient. I remember buying GTA III used for $29.99 a few months after it came out. 9 months later, the same store was selling its copies for $4.95. If a game is popular, they'll sell a whole bunch. I have plenty of other games I can play in the meantime, so I just wait. Sometimes, I don't even have to buy them used. Sometimes you can get new games at clearance prices at the end of a console's life.
I bought my copy of Conker's Bad Fur Day new from Amazon shortly after the Gamecube was released. It was only $20. Similarly, I got my Gamecube copies of Twilight Princess and Pikmin 2 just after the Wii came out. Twilight Princess was $20 from Amazon and Pikmin 2 was $7 at K-Mart.
Again - I'm not in this for the money. I knew that Pikmin 2 was a crazy deal (although I didn't know how rare it was). They had a shelf full of them that they were blowing out. I didn't buy a bunch to then scalp them. I told friends that they were available so they could get them too. I bought one copy.
It's crazy what some of these titles are going for these days. However, I'm grateful that so many of these are available for digital download for many current platforms or via modern re-releases. I never got an original copy of Chrono Trigger for the SNES, but I have it on the PS1 via Final Fantasy Chronicles, I've got it on my iPad from the App Store, and I can play it on my Wii via the Virtual Console download.
It's all about playing the games, but it is crazy how the collector mentality has made it much more difficult to acquire physical media for original releases - especially if you want to preserve them with their boxes an manuals in good condition.
Heck, boxes and manuals are a whole other topic and such a source for nostalgia. Yet, publishers have practically abandoned manuals. I still have my original manual for Automated SImulations' Dunjonquest: Temple of Apshai for the TRS-80. The drawings and the descriptions of the rooms and treasures fill me with joy every time I pull it out and page through it. This is an experience that current gamers will never experience when they reminisce as they get older. Similarly, they won't have the experience of reading liner notes from albums and CDs since their musical experiences have been through Spotify, TH-cam, and other streaming services.
The way we experience our media is continuing to evolve. I'm grateful for the availability, but curious what the evolution in distribution and streaming will mean to physical media and how collectors may continue to drive prices on those original releases.
Thanks for another great video, MetalJesusRocks!
Peace.
Man I feel like it’s been ages since we got a collection video from you! PS1 is an amazing system, suikoden 1&2 will always be some of my favorites on that system.
They are so expensive lucky the collection is releasing later this year.
Yeah I got my copies years ago, never expected to be like this lol
@@bballwalli who knew back in the 90´
Return Fire is a hidden gem for PC/PS1. It's a top down, military capture-the-flag game kinda like Desert Strike or Jungle Strike/Urban Strike, I forget what they were called exactly for the SNES/Genesis era.
Skullmonkeys is definitely a “hidden gem” on the PS1 IMO especially if you are a fan of platformers and claymation. One of the most bizarre games in my personal collection and absolutely hilarious.
Skullmonkeys! Yes! Love that game (and its sort-of prequel adventure game The Neverhood), but man it was hard as hell! I don't think I ever managed to beat it. Great game though.
Agreed. Also, 'Jersey Devil'. I also think 'Exhumed' is a hidden gem game that rarely gets mentioned.

You rock! Wishing you and yours and the team a great 2023! Looking forward to more awesome videos.
Ps1 was my first console even though I was already like 16 or so. They really got me with that cool teen marketing (wipeout1) . The fact that you collect also the Japanese imports and follow the Japanese library is great. A lot of us grew up as internationals around this era and had access to the Japanese models and ahem pirates games only. My first game was Zero Divide haha
Loved the video! ps1 is my all time favourite console. When you showed car combats, I noticed there was no Rogue Trip. I loved that game and always thought it was underestimated. Do you know it? have you ever played it? take care my man!
Enjoyed the historical tone of this video, especially how publishers tried to bring a new approach to old games, during the PS1 era...awesome job as always!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved Brave Fencer Musashi back in the day. My older cousin let me borrow it as a kid. What a legend.
no way, this video is too awesome. And just in time as i get back into playing ps1 games. litterally showcased all of my favourite ps1 games . so cool
My favorite console of all time!
Thanks for video and Happy New Year!
Man, those Lunar collections look pristine! I got them sitting around too. They're not exactly beat up but there is some fraying on the corners of the boxes. I still have that pendant though and love it tons.
Small question that may be a tad random.
Mind if I ask what bitrate you post your videos at? They always look so clean and sharp! Especially the game footage!
im in the 50's ish on my collection. i did do a bit of the sports games. but i wanted to go more mid tier games.. im sure i can get really high if i keep on the real cheapies. this collection here is great..
I much prefer the thicker pal cases. Great video as always!
@@yournightmare9999 true!
Great collection! I found symphony of the night complete for $3 at savers a while back.
Small Soldiers is definitely a hidden gem and a must own.
I have this obscure title called “Skull Monkeys” that’s along that creative platform line. Everything is claymation and it has tons of humor.
awesome!
for me, ps1 and ps2 era is where game is really great and fun!
lot's of amazing game.
I vividly remember Jedi Power Battles. I got it on my birthday and my god it was the most frustrating game ever but I loved it 🤣
Jedi Power Battles was an amazing two player expereince!
Must be awesome seeing the value of your collection go up so much the past few years.

Thank you for this vid. I enjoyed it. You got a really wonderful collection and I like your passion. 🔥👏🏼 Life is too short for bad games. 🤓
No WipeOut XL? Definitely grab a copy of that asap just for the excellent soundtrack. The PS1 might be my favorite console of all time.
What a collection dude. I'd be so giddy looking over them. So glad to have you back and healthy☺️
I am an aging collector. My question is, what is your end plan? Do you plan that your collection will be sold? Do you plan to sell it off at some point? How do you weigh the possible years you have left, against a pile of games, and prioritize? Then that begs deeper questions like if time is limited, should I bother gaming?
Omg the nostalgia hit so hard with that Interactive CD Volume 7 totally forgot I owned that as a kid
I really wish I wouldn't have sold all of my RPGs and I never got to play fear effect but I remember being so tempted by it for a long time in the Walmart display.
Highly recommend getting a old ps1 Fromsoftware game called Shadow Tower (also available on psn). Also Trap Gunner and Galerians if you don't already have them.
you are the best, all your videos and in general the work you have uploaded is excellent. All your work is a gaming school for us
I've been with you for years man and you never seem to age
Cool video as usual. Missed my favorite ps1 game thou- TIME COMMANDO. Talk about a unike game with an amazing story. That would be the first game i would do a remake of if i was a game dev. Keep up the amazing work mjr! 🥂
Yo! MJR!!! FANTASTIC COLLECTION!!!! As someone who grew up with the ps1 i always wanted to own these games as it's my favorite console but Don't have the money to do so, now it's going to be a challenge to get from rare to super rare to ridiculously rare and mostly underrated hidden gems that do need some love!!! Great video!!!!
I’ve been waiting for this for ever thank you!!!!!
Dude Moto Racer is such a fun game! And I love how it switches between motocross and road racing. Spent so many hours on that game back in the day.
absolutely kicking myself that I had sold my old PSOne, and fat PS2 back in the day to get other consoles. Used to own RE, Nightmare Creatures, SH, Parasite Eve, the Twisted Metal series, and CTR and so many others. Games that go for 100s nowadays.
