There's a really great PS1 game from Konami called Hellnight. I really think you would enjoy it
Silent bomber, cardinal syn, wild 9, assault, terracon, millenium soldier: expendable, adventures of Lomax, some of hidden gems that come to mind.
Great suggestions!
You are an awesome commentor😊
Oh man, Silent Bomber cardinal Syn Wild 9 are some of my absolute ps1 favorites. thanks for mentioning them and it is a shame that they did not make it on the part 1 or part 2 lists :(
Silent Bomber and Wild 9 are great games! Specially Silent Bomber, imo one of the best action games period on the PS1
@@Tenpouin I have to agree
Quickly has become one of my favorite gaming channels!
Thank you!
To me Its 2024 and the PS1 is still Awesome! I love watching your videos to see what games are out there that i didn't know exist. I enjoy the thrill of the game hunt! Thank you for another great video!! 👍 😎👍
Thanks for watching Nicko! Glad you enjoy the videos 🙂
This must be the first time I've heard a youtuber say anything about vampire hunter D before 👍🏼 I completed it when I was in my teens over 20 years ago and this upload brought back a tidal wave of nostalgia my brain has had locked away for decades 🤣
Play it again with Duckstation
Little Ralph looks awesome.
It’s well worth playing!
@andrewdowell6474 not for the 300 bucks it goes for.
@@PT-vv3ep 300 is a bargain
Shame it's titled that way lol
It's pretty good and a little hard
Really wish Ghoul Panic wasn't a PAL exclusive. Great list of games!
Saiyuki Journey West is such an easy recommendation. The magic system is so much fun and has incredible effects. If you haven’t played it you should! Great music and great fun.
Thank you for mentioning Beyond the Beyond 🥰
No problem!
i love Strider 2 and Speed Punks!
This channel is the real hidden gem.
I appreciate that! Thank you 🙂
Still have 750+ games for PlayStation1 and all from this list
You should mention when certain games are PAL only. There is no Ghoul Panic for the NTSC region.
stuff like the region and if the game's been translated could be added under the title of the game on the top right and it would help a lot!
While that's true, it doesn't usually happens the other way around. When north american youtubers talk about games only released in NTSC region don't actually mention it.

youve probably already covered it but one cool game was ray tracers. its an anime type racing game w unlockable cars and characters
Thank you man , might try that out
Watching this in the morning with a coffee in my hand is the perfect way to start my day and get some good gaming ideas.
00:08 Dude, I love SILVER! What an amazing game! I played the hell out of it as a kid!
Finally, Advanced V.G. 2 was mentioned on your channel. While more derivative than innovative (think of SF Alpha crossed with KoF), it's still quite a solid fighter on its own, and definitely a step up from the first game which is kinda... stiff, so to say. In comparison, combo chaining feels so fluid in A.V.G. 2 and some characters can do crazy combos, including infinites when the player is skilled enough. Super jumping and performing attacks out of the dash is also possible and enhances the gameplay a lot. Another thing worth mentioning about this game are character designs done by (unfortunately late) Takahiro Kimura, known for his involvement with Betterman, Dirty Pair Flash and Code Geass. For me personally Advanced V.G. 2 is *the* game that got me into fighters, a genre I avoided like plague for years.
And Yuka is the best shoto-clone ever ;)
I love all your videos, thank you sir.
Cheers Nick!
There are a lot of great games I have played on this list as well as ones I still have yet to play and even a few I hadn't even heard of previously. Thank you for the reminder and for showing some interesting games that are new to me. Variable Geo seems to often get overlooked as a fighting game series and part of that might be because it originated from the eroge scene. However, the games had solid fighting mechanics and a charmingly quirky theme that I think a lot of gamers would enjoy. The games released under the Advanced Variable Geo name don't have any kind of eroge content to them and more players should give them a try. The eroge games in the series are also worth checking out for those who like those kinds of games.
12:50 Never heard of this one before but the stages are so gorgeous and colorful 😍
These are my favorite videos to watch before falling asleep
Awesome recommedations, thank you
Glad you like them!
Some awesome looking games here! The Adventures of Little Ralph looks like a sweet side-scroller hybrid, and Vampire Hunter D looks intriguing. Speed Punks I’ve never heard of, but looks like a solid cart racer. Awesome selections here man!
Glad you found something new man 🙂
Not so popular, but really good games I played (some of them could be already covered):
> V-rally 2: really good alternative to Colin 2.0, but having way better 4 player races. Multiplayer just rocks. Cons: sometimes you can slow to 0 on a nearby rock, but it's an added value in couch competition :) ).
> Tombi (EU) / Tomba: best 2d adventure.
> Soviet Strike: introduction to the series on PS1. Only 5 stages, but atmosphere and tension are doing the job.
> Worms Armageddon: should be launched at any couch party when you have 3-4 players.
> Forsaken: best entry for "Descent" like titles. Really polished title.
> Rage Racer: to me still the best game of the series. Even with small amount of tracks the championship mode with its competition and car upgrades is just on another level.
> Bust-a-move 3DX: what I remember is a good challenging arcade mode and level customization. Spent much time on that, especially on Multiplayer (for me better than S puzzle fighter 2).
> Twisted Metal 2: not gonna talk about this one. Best split-screen 2 player action game.
Little Ralph looks pretty fun! I may have to give it a shot! I remember seeing Saiyuki in a magazine and my friend was really interested in it. As far as I know, he never played it. I didn't either lol! Mega Man Battle and Chase always seemed fun, though I haven't played it myself. I think it's unlockable on the Anniversary Collection?
Nice list most of these games I have not heard of
Glad you found something new!
For those who don't want to look for a PS1 copy of Battle and Chase; you can pick up the Mega Man X Collection on PS2/Gamecube. You can unlock it just by beating the first 3 games. The Mega Man Anniversary Collection (PS2/Xbox/Gamecube) also has both the Power Battle arcade games as unlocks.
You had a light gun game in the video. Whether or not light guns work with modern LED TVs is a valid question.
Uprising X, Backyard Soccer, Top Shop, Battle Hunter, 102 Dalmatians : Puppies to the Rescue, and 40 Winks are pretty good, underrated gems as well.
I don't know why but the first one looks so familiar to me 🤔🤔🤔
Never heard about Ray crisis determination, definitely I check it out.
Thanks for another hidden gems section... I love it.
Hope you enjoy it!
It’s on the switch and ps4 too in an Hd collection from M2! Also check out Galactic Attack / RayForce / Layer Section (ridiculous that it has 3 names) also in that collection and on the Saturn. It’s the best game in the series.
@@opaljk4835 really? Oh thanks for the info... I check it out 👍
Saiyuki one of my favorite game on pc1. Perfectly playing right now with emul on no apple phone.
i happened to play and finish Speed Punks/Freaks not long ago, i loved it but damn the physics are more akin to a simulator than an arcade kart racing game.
"Beyond the beyond" is the game made by Camelot Software Planning, between "Shining Force 3" and "Golden Sun".
It would be good to mention that Strider 2 would not have been possible if not for the character's popularity due to his redesign in Marvel vs. Capcom. His appearance and all his moves are completely based on his MvC1 appearance and play style.
Little extra info: "Speed Punks" is the US name of the game, PAL territories might know this game under the slightly different name "Speed Freaks".
Why they felt the need to change that name is beyond me though...
I wish JRPGs on the Playstation were a dime-a-dozen! Beyond the Beyond & Legend of Dragoon (complete-in-box/CiB) are just under $50! Xenogears (CiB) is $150! Suikoden II is $230 (CiB)!! Persona (CiB) is $390 & Persona 2 (CiB) is $370! Valkyrie Profile (CiB) is $250!! Vagrant Story (CiB) is $90! Tales of Destiny 2 (CiB) is $215! Thousand Arms (CiB) is $145 - I shudder to think how that price increases when bundled with the mail-in music/multi-media CD!!!
Good selection
Thank you!
omg i was sleeping on vampire hunter d! its DMC on the ps1!!!
Been playing megaman battle & chase for years. Fun little game when you get used to it.
100%!
Adventures of Little Ralph is like a 400 dollar game. Definitely worth emulating or getting an OFE
The Adventures of Little Ralph reminds me a little bit of One Piece Round the Land for the PS2.
Ooooooooooh I love Advanced VG2
Sentient is the PS1 ultimate hidden gem, can you imagine a remake with full AI conversation?
PS1 Gem time happy you’re back
More on the way!
i did nothave beyond the beyond on my radar , thanks for that gem!!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Beyond the Beyond looks really cool! Definitely going to try it and Speed Punks out. Always on the lookout for PS1 stuff to play.
Have fun!
Beyond the Beyond is basically a lesser version of the Golden Sun games made by the same Devs. If you haven't already played them, I strongly recommend the GS games instead
@@XannolcZ I've got a few of those in the list.
Actually started Beyond the Beyond the other day. I only played for about an hour and a half so far but it honestly feels like it's going to be a slog. There's something about the writing, the battles. I just don't know haha.
@@BlyndFyre2077 exactly why I suggested Golden Sun instead lol. Beyond the Beyond has a decent idea but the execution is a bit off. Camelot didn't figure things out yet and the localization almost feels machine translated. Another good one TVGS covered is Tear Ring Saga. It's basically Fire Emblem.
In the unlikely event that you haven't played them: the Breath of Fire games are chef's kiss
@@XannolcZ I do like the Breath of Fire games.
I've always been really interested in beyond the beyond, since I love golden sun, but I've heard some bad things about it so I'm not sure I'll get around to it
Man, Speed Punks is my ultimate top 3 PS1 games
Such a fun little racer!
@@thatvideogamesshow awesome game!
Take a zero off the going price for The Adventures of Little Ralph and I would certainly have that in my library.
Great video, can I ask the song for the Little Ralph section?
Here you go! Zero Gravity Area - Mega Man Network Transmission
@@thatvideogamesshow I appreciate it, it was really catchy
Ok after years of wondering what bgm you used for intro, i just found it was tekken 2 intro bgm...where nina siting on chair..
Thats why this bgm very familiar to me...🤣🤣🤣
And yes...i play tekken 2 on psx on that time... 96-97..
Damn...what a good ol’ times.....🤣🤣🤣
Classic!
I misread Speed Punks as "Seed Punks" for a second and got very, very concerned lmao.
You might prefer Vampire D Hunter instead.
I miss that time where we getting a lot of good kart games, I miss them specially on PC now
I've seen so many hidden gems videos for PS1 & PS2 its practically every game by now lol
5:43 dude! I always wondered where the game of variable geo was! They had an anime in which the loser would have to take off all their clothes. It was so out there. They had a tan chick i couldnt wait to see lose lol.
advenced VG2 looks like King Of Fighter 99
Saiyuki is very charming game, quiet unique at its time.
Totally agree!
You should do some graphically impressive arcade games
Fucking solid video mate. Cheers 👍
Just an fyi to others, i beat Vampire Hunter D 10 years ago, and the tank controls mixed with platforming sections are tediously janky and hard, but it is a good game
Terracon, fantastic journey pinball, ct special forces.
Failed to mention just how crazy expensive and rare little ralph is haha play it anyway u can
Hey man, cool content. What's your intro music called please?
It’s the intro music from Tekken 2.
Thank you so much!
America got the shaft on lightgun games for the ps1 and ps2 wish more of them were released in the US
Does Saiyuki Journey West have towns to walk through like Shining Force?
CTR mention.
This reminds me of time crisis
Love me some Time Crisis!
Beyond the Beyond, a game not talked about enough!!!!
I'll second that!
I straight up love Beyond the Beyond. It's a guilty pleasure JRPG that Reddit /jrpg hates and downvotes me every time I defend it
I wonder if Street Racer would qualify?
I played ray crisis..but it was named ray storm..
Front mission 3
A fighting game 🎮 to a to my list
Hope you enjoy it!
Strider and its sequel on PS1 are very fun. Too bad the price for the physical copy is way too high. Emulator will be a better choice for those that dont have the game.
Oh funny
I'm playing Strider 2014 right now
Strider is my favorite Ninja
Great series!
F yea right on time to restock
Hope you found something new!
Saiyuki ❤❤
the only reason i watch your videos is because of that stupid tekken 2 intro music that I love agrrrrrr XD
Should I give Beyond the Beyond a second chance? I didn't like it when I had it.
Too bad we'll never get a kart racer with all mascots across all platforms.
That would be so much fun!
I just wanna play breath of fire 4
Can we already say that Megaman is a dead franchise? I mean, Capcom knows that Megaman sells, but still we haven't had a new Megaman game in ages
💚🥳🥳🥳💚
Hidden gems is ps1 probably more difficult to count compared to the total flop in the platform
Beyond the Beyond aged like milk even for one of ps1's earliest jrpg. A mix bag of terrible game designs, a very tedious random encounter rate, and the active playing system that neither game nor it's manual explain to you along with a forgettable story makes it one of the most forgetting dud among jrpgs.
😯😯😯😯
Battle and Chase is not great
stop talking about little ralph. This Game is already more expensive than a PS5
😅
Emulation is free
Beyond not Gem.
First 🥇
🏆
🎉Congrats!!🎉
Sorry, but this games is Hidden Crap, not gems 😅
vampire hunter d. mib game really hard games but amazing games. on that time there was game on pc more like resident evil style but this game blow everything out graphicly. Nocturne. terminal reailty survival horror adventure game. Nocturne supose to out dreamcast if console not shutdown. graphics of nocturne look better than today games.
