You totally forgot to mention, that Future Cop LAPD has a kickass multiplayer, very much like a prehistoric League of Legends. Your base constantly spawns units, in order to destroy the enemies base! It is awesome and was very much ahead its time!
Now that you've mentioned... Future Cop's multiplayer _does_ seem like a MOBA in terms of mechanics; spawn of minions, capture of towers/areas, destroying the enemy base.
That game was pretty mainstream, at least around central Europe. With articles in Playstation Magazines (it got 8/10 iirc), demo etc. So I'm surprised it is considered a hidden gem. It is in US I guess.
Played this game on a PC and it was a blast! Literarily. Still have it somwhere on my gaming shelf. I think I'm gonna play it again after all those years.
Had it on PC rather than playstation but I played the shit out of it. Really enjoyed fighting the AI. sky captin? or something like that. But the story was awesome too. Can still remember some amazing cutsceens lol
Back in 1997/1998 when i was only 12-13 years old i spent so many hours at my friend's place using his dad's extremely expensive Macintosh home office setup to play Future Cop: LAPD, Diablo and Myth: The Fallen Lords while listening to The Offspring, Fatboy Slim & Propellerheads. I loved every minute of it.
You just dug out a memory from the depth of my brain, I remember playing Tunnel B1 on a demo CD from a gaming magazine back in the 90s and I really liked it back then.
It's a shame that you mentioned 'Bugs and Taz: Time Busters' without also mentioning the entire game can be played in co-op, it's one of it's best features!
Being somebody that grew up playing video games since 1981 when I was 3 and we got an Atari and the passion began, I really enjoy the PS1 era because it was very similar to when PC gaming gained ground and developers basically said "let's just see what we can do"... And don't get me wrong all of it was wrapped in incredible storytelling and interesting perspectives but there was so much avant-garde approaches to video games on the PS1.
exactly, it really shaped the ps1 into the experimental platform it's remembered as today. games were getting more popular and the industry was changing at light speed.
I'd love to watch a live-stream of you (and maybe Reggie) playing some of your gems. Honestly, you're really entertaining. It's great to see someone so experienced in the retro, having a great time showing us the best of the best.
This Bugs Bunny is the sequel to another hidden gem Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time , I recognized the engine and the moves of the character. So much fun that game! I had really good times with it
The Grinch game also uses the same engine, sadly the game is a bit hit and miss. 'Lost in Time' is fantastic, you're correct 'Time Busters' is the sequel. 👍
Luke_Denny sorry I meant time busters. Lost in time has less precise controls and I think it has less variability. That’s why I said the sequel is better in almost every aspect.
@@NeanderMeander Your videos are amazing! I watched the video you uploaded today. It's very well done! People aren't making videos the way you do. It's good to see something new!
Me too, I was thinking the same thing! And I only have one intro, but MJR regularly changes up the clips used! When does he have time to play, get groceries, live life?!? I do appreciate it though 😁
A good Hidden Gem would be Wizardry for PlayStation Wizardry 1 2 and 3 has an English option in the menu and Wizardry 4 and 5 also has an English option in the menu Not everything is in English like magic descriptions but there's plenty of information online to show what that is
Tunnel B1 was one of the games I got with my PS1. For 12yo me it was hard as nails, but it was fast and the audio was great. I also got Tekken 2, Alien Trilogy and Wipeout 2097. Give my right arm to live through my first few years with the machine - so many great titles; original titles.
Yeah.. TUNNEL B1 definitely surprised me back in the day. That game really is no joke when you start advancing into the later stages. An absolute must own hidden gem.
@Leo D. Astoria, side note, Future Cop: L.A.P.D. was also technically supposed to be a part of the Strike series, namely, it was going to be called Future Strike or something like that, but a dispute between the people that were responsible for the Strike series also led to its name being changed. Also, speaking of Strike, I think that another game that is in the Strike series also made it to the PS1 as well...I think that it was called Soviet Strike.
Night Raid was made by Takumi which also made the Giga Wings serie and Mars Matrix. The company Toaplan was the king of shooters in the arcade back in the 80s and early 90s but they split into 4 differents companies back in 1994. Cave, Takumi, Raizing and Gazelle... and in my opinion they all made excellent shooters.
@@MetalJesusRocks Hi, Metal Jesus! I love your vids, but I've got one question: are you using your PS1 Digital modded PlayStation to capture these vids? It looks great and it's definitely a game changer in so many ways. I've modded my phat PS2, fixed lens, got HDD, but I'm waiting for that PS2 HDMI Digital mod. It's shame we still have to wait for it. But that PS1 Digital looks awesome, you lucky devil. 😅
Hey MetalJesus, I just wanted to let you know those PS4 special edition controllers given to the dev team and customer service team, I actually reached out to the person who sent them to you and bought them myself. I’m super glad I could add them to my small collection but they are super awesome!
Love having the list in the description, respects the viewer's time. Could you please add the timing to the entries so it is possible to skip to each chapter?
I don't know if you covered them already but my all time Favorit Games on the PS1 are "Hearts of Darkness" a game where you blay a boy trying to rescue his dog from Monsters and "Shadow of Darkness" where you play a cool Ninja fighting in Medival Japan. ^^
I had Tunnel B-1 growing up, and I thought it was really hard, so I didn't play too much of it.. I'm probably going to come back and play it again soon. One game that I consider a "hidden gem" was Bugs Life. I used to play that game all of the time
Lost in Time seems like a neat surprise; historically, Looney Tunes has not been treated very well when it comes to licensed games. Brahma is also the Hindu god of creation; thought you might not know that since this isn't the MetalVisnuRocks channel.
HECK YEAH LAPD. That game was my childhood, loved the multiplayer as it could be played solo and completely changed the style of the game. Think the bot team got a unique plane you had to fight against
They are of extreme quality. My old PS1 still reads discs that look like a pancake. The CD-boxes are an eternal disaster, though... I must seem to get Bugs Bunny & Taz. Think I could dig that for some time...
@@paxhumana2015 ps2 is also great but imo most of its library is amazing because it's a perfect continuation of ps1 legacy.

But I have a ps2 and still play it the most. It has lots of masterpieces.
I remember going to my cousin's house when I was a kid and playing a PS1 game which is a rail shooter, and it's set in a futuristic environment and I think you're a cop in that game as you fire a pistol as you can see the revolver and you have to reload it when it's empty just like Virtua cop. I think you shoot at mechs but I'm not sure. God I'm dying to know what game that is!
I was so happy when you mentioned T.R.A.G! That was one of the ps1 games I played the hell out of as a kid and still do (even planning to do a playthrough of it on my channel soon)!

@@magikarpgaming6397 I totally agree with you. This game may not be a masterpiece, but it is enjoyable for the most part.

While in Japan and Europe is call Hard Edge, in the US the game is call T.R.A.G.
@@captaincommando2602 honestly i never take critics seriously, and in these days i don't have much of a respect for them. i like to play the games and then make my own judgement but i agree the different names are rather goofy lmao.
@@magikarpgaming6397 Me too. And... I'd like to recommend you another obscure Resident Evil style game for the PS1 that maybe you never heard of it. The game is call Vampire Hunter D and is kinda like a cross between Castlevania and Resident Evil.
@@patrickwooton966 you could say it is as a copy of it is worth as much as a new game complete in box, and you can very well call alundra 2 a hidden gem as not a lot of people may have known about it. I never seen anyone on the internet talk about either game
Finally! someone's talkin about T.R.A.G., aside from Resident Evil this game is pretty cool! never been able to finnish it though, cuz I couldn't find the combinations to a locked door that needed to be opened before you can progress through to the story. Again, still a pretty good game!
@@paluxyl.8682 Really!? that's awesome dude! you're probably pretty good at this game to be able create a walkthrough, I on the other hand haven't beaten it. I still got my original PS1 console but the game CD has since been lost so I won't be able to replay it. Nowadays I'm thinking of emulation.
For the first time, someone in TH-cam is giving to Bus & Taz Time Busters the attention it deserves. One of my favourites PS1 plate-formers, and a childhood favorite of mine.
Remember, you can play all of these with an emulator. You can also play all PS2 and PS3 games with an emulator. Just finished playing Demon's Souls at 4K 60fps on RPCS3. Fuckin wild man.
Jonathan. • I collect too, but emulation is going to be important one day for game preservation as disc rot sets in. Long term, the cartridge games are going to outlast the CD games, very sad.
@@TheTallGamingMan Alundra 2 isn't the expensive one (around $20-$30). It's the original that pulls the price tag (easily over $100 in complete and even moderately good condition)
Compared to the first Alundra its garbage, compared to the other ps1 library of games its above average. The game van be very frustrating. I think it was the last dungeon that made me rage quit that game.
Hey, @metaljesusrocks, it would be really COOL if you rename every hiddem gems in numerical order so we can watch and find them more easily through youtube search!
@@MetalJesusRocks , you know, the one thing that T.R.A.G. (Tactical Rescue Assault Group)/Hard Edge has going for it is that you can actually tell if enemies have life gauges, which means that you also know when an enemy is going to die instead of guessing when they will die, unlike the other survival type games. Also, unlike things like Silent Hill, Resident Evil/Biohazard, or Dino Crisis, this is a rare game in which you do not take down post-apocalyptic godless abominations, but, rather, you take down actual humans, albeit evil ones.
I know you're real knowledgeable when it comes to games PS1 games so I'm just curious whats your opinion when it comes to syphon filter 3 the recalled 911 edition for the PS1 without a hole punched in the UPC code! It's probably in mint condition either a 9.6 or a 9.8 definitely with an A seal going to have this thing graded soon.. but I'm thinking it might possibly be the rarest PlayStation one game in the world.. I don't know what do you think?
@Winston Smith when you respect somebody's opinion and you are asking a question about something related to what they do and what they collect it's fine to ask somebody to speculate about it's value or to just talk about the item doesn't mean the person has to answer... Besides I said I was having it sent out just wanted to get the opinion of somebody I respect....I enjoy the content this channel puts out.
@@nanoua27 there's a version of siphon filter 3 with completely different cover art and different descriptions on the back... The game was shipped to to some stores before 9/11 but because of the cover art the games were not to go out for sale instead they were recalled shipped back and the cover art was replaced and some of the text on the back was changed... Some people had promotional copies that they kept with a hole punched in the UPC code not ever meant for resale but as far as I can see the vast majority if not almost all of the retail copies without a hole punch in the UPC where replaced... The game is extremely valuable and rare with the hole punch but I've ever only seen one copy online without the punch and it was in rough condition... Not mint condition and not factory sealed... Some PlayStation collectors consider this the holy Grail of PlayStation 1....
@Winston Smith that's your opinion.so good to know....I just want to talk with somebody that is interested in games about something that I think they would find interesting...
You probably wont see this buuuuut, Ive been watching your channel since the early days and always look forward to your videos. Many of the games you speak about (especially on the PS1) I have either played or owned in my younger days. Ive decided to use this knowledge and passion to make my own hidden gem series too as there are LOTS of games buried down in my memory that need to come to the surface. Metal Jesus YOU ROCK!
Metal Jesus actually mentioned Apocalypse with Bruce Willis! :o Glad it’s getting some love! I still have Future Cop on my ps3. That’s one nostalgic video!
Well to be fair the PS1 had a ton of games so MetalJesus could make tons of videos about lesser known games from the library. You wouldn't be able to do that with the N64 or Dreamcast
I've missed these Hidden Gem videos. The old ones are classic videos of the channel and make for VERY great collector's guides. Hope he does some more soon.
The average sell price of future cop lapd Before the video: $25-$30 After this video : $60-$70 T.R.A.G mission of mercy sell price Before this video $19-$20 After this video $50-75 😑😑😑😑
Heyy I've horded these crap games that I bought dead cheap, now I need you guys to create demand for it so the prices can increase and I can swim in profits!
PS1 had so many games, I think you could make at least 5 more Hidden Gem videos, and I'll never be tired of them. Always discovering something new through these videos.
Hello from Brazil, I've discovered recently your channel through youtube indication, love your content, congratulations for it. What happened with kelsey??? She doesn't do videos on her channel about one year ago. Hugs!!!
A cool thing about Kodelka, every in-engine cutscene is fully mocapped, and completely to scale with the environment. If they're sitting around a table, the actors will really be sitting around a table.
Actually, Koudelka *IS* a prequel to Shadow Hearts 1 & 2, even with re-appearing characters & locations (such as Koudelka, Roger Bacon, & the Nemeton Monastery in Wales). I love the mix of survival horror & RPG in the 1st Shadow Hearts & Koudelka. I love Shadow Hearts more, but I also love Koudelka (except the breaking weapons, which killed it for me).
Bit of info regarding Future Cop:LAPD, it started development as Future Strike (There is a "teaser" for it in Nuclear Strike). They changed direction a tad and out popped Future Cop. The suits wanted to cancel it outright because "No one was interested" in the franchise any more. It is a great single player game that has a fun multiplayer mode as well.
7:19 - You mention Bugz and Taz: Time Busters but no mention of the awesome shared screen co-op that game had? Like almost nothing else on the platform.

LT: Sheep Raider is a great hidden gem title MJR.
That bugs and Taz game is so good man. Same with sheep dog n wolf. Wb really had some great games in this era strangely enough.
I loved Eggs of Steel back in the day
Anyone else of the opinion that the biggest casualty of the quarantine so far has been no more videogame pickups videos w/ Reggie????
Please do more videos about the PS3...more hidden gems possibly?
Not sure if you know this but the Bugs Bunny Taz game is actually a sequel to Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time
"Wild 9" is a total hidden gem. Not sure if you covered it yet. Also "Rogue Trip" and "Vigalante 8".
Rogue trip was amazing back then!!
Prolly beat that game 20 times lol
Wild 9 totally is. Still one of the best PS1 games to this day.
So awesome seeing your hidden gem vids. They are definitely my favorite. Can’t wait for the next one. 😎🤟🏼
Hey metal jesus, when will you cover alundra in one of these hidden gems videos?
@@patrickwooton966 you could say it is as a copy of it is worth as much as a new game complete in box, and you can very well call alundra 2 a hidden gem as not a lot of people may have known about it. I never seen anyone on the internet talk about either game
Idk what it is so...
Me last week (for the third time): well that’s DEFINITIVELY every PS1 game I think I’ll ever need. EVER.
Metal Jesus: hold my DualShock
Finally! someone's talkin about T.R.A.G., aside from Resident Evil this game is pretty cool! never been able to finnish it though, cuz I couldn't find the combinations to a locked door that needed to be opened before you can progress through to the story. Again, still a pretty good game!
I still got the game , back in the days I have even send a walkthrough to a magazine ... but it was never printed , lol
@@paluxyl.8682 Really!? that's awesome dude! you're probably pretty good at this game to be able create a walkthrough, I on the other hand haven't beaten it. I still got my original PS1 console but the game CD has since been lost so I won't be able to replay it. Nowadays I'm thinking of emulation.
@@shawnallanwebb7084 God bless the guys who makes all the emulators . ^^
@@paluxyl.8682 I second that! haha
For the first time, someone in TH-cam is giving to Bus & Taz Time Busters the attention it deserves. One of my favourites PS1 plate-formers, and a childhood favorite of mine.
Remember, you can play all of these with an emulator. You can also play all PS2 and PS3 games with an emulator. Just finished playing Demon's Souls at 4K 60fps on RPCS3. Fuckin wild man.
Always remember people collect physical copies / consoles to relieve the memories one last time
Jonathan. • I collect too, but emulation is going to be important one day for game preservation as disc rot sets in. Long term, the cartridge games are going to outlast the CD games, very sad.
Koudelka is awesome. I remember there were two super weapons you could get. One was a giant spear with a horn on the end of it. lol badass
I want to suggest Alundra 2. It's more like a nostalgic game for me, so I thought that could be a hidden gem.
I think it's not so much a hidden gem but more of a stupidly expensive gem. Fantastic game though.
@@TheTallGamingMan Alundra 2 isn't the expensive one (around $20-$30). It's the original that pulls the price tag (easily over $100 in complete and even moderately good condition)
Trying to remember if that's the game I continuously died and was extremely difficult for me so I never got back into it hmmm
Compared to the first Alundra its garbage, compared to the other ps1 library of games its above average. The game van be very frustrating. I think it was the last dungeon that made me rage quit that game.
Alundra>Alundra 2
I love these hidden gems videos! Keep it up Metal Jesus!
Hey, @metaljesusrocks, it would be really COOL if you rename every hiddem gems in numerical order so we can watch and find them more easily through youtube search!
Good idea!
@@MetalJesusRocks , you know, the one thing that T.R.A.G. (Tactical Rescue Assault Group)/Hard Edge has going for it is that you can actually tell if enemies have life gauges, which means that you also know when an enemy is going to die instead of guessing when they will die, unlike the other survival type games. Also, unlike things like Silent Hill, Resident Evil/Biohazard, or Dino Crisis, this is a rare game in which you do not take down post-apocalyptic godless abominations, but, rather, you take down actual humans, albeit evil ones.
Side note: That PC Gamer disc in the into brings back sooo many memories.
I know you're real knowledgeable when it comes to games PS1 games so I'm just curious whats your opinion when it comes to syphon filter 3 the recalled 911 edition for the PS1 without a hole punched in the UPC code! It's probably in mint condition either a 9.6 or a 9.8 definitely with an A seal going to have this thing graded soon.. but I'm thinking it might possibly be the rarest PlayStation one game in the world.. I don't know what do you think?
@Winston Smith when you respect somebody's opinion and you are asking a question about something related to what they do and what they collect it's fine to ask somebody to speculate about it's value or to just talk about the item doesn't mean the person has to answer... Besides I said I was having it sent out just wanted to get the opinion of somebody I respect....I enjoy the content this channel puts out.
Hi, i'm very curious about this; didn't knew there was a special edition of SF3 would you mind explain it more thoroughly ?
@Winston Smith Clearly trolling, busty ass woman yet subscriptions and uploads indicate middle aged white male, probably Trump voter.
@@nanoua27 there's a version of siphon filter 3 with completely different cover art and different descriptions on the back... The game was shipped to to some stores before 9/11 but because of the cover art the games were not to go out for sale instead they were recalled shipped back and the cover art was replaced and some of the text on the back was changed... Some people had promotional copies that they kept with a hole punched in the UPC code not ever meant for resale but as far as I can see the vast majority if not almost all of the retail copies without a hole punch in the UPC where replaced... The game is extremely valuable and rare with the hole punch but I've ever only seen one copy online without the punch and it was in rough condition... Not mint condition and not factory sealed... Some PlayStation collectors consider this the holy Grail of PlayStation 1....
@Winston Smith that's your opinion.so good to know....I just want to talk with somebody that is interested in games about something that I think they would find interesting...
LAPD also has a great co-op mode, really fun to go through the campaign with a buddy.
the ps1 and n64 have more hidden gems than one can count.
P4NTH4R the N64 only had less than 300 games published for it... PS1 had 1300.
I really loved Bugs and Taz as a child and even today I think it still holds up really well.
I totally agree is a hidden gem! Nice catch MJ
Imagine playing these on the PS5.
👾
Why?
Man, nostalgia OVERLOAD!! Awesome video, keep em’ comin 😎👍
The PS1 had few good games but playing CD music back then was amazing !!
You probably wont see this buuuuut, Ive been watching your channel since the early days and always look forward to your videos. Many of the games you speak about (especially on the PS1) I have either played or owned in my younger days. Ive decided to use this knowledge and passion to make my own hidden gem series too as there are LOTS of games buried down in my memory that need to come to the surface. Metal Jesus YOU ROCK!
That Brahma reminds me of the Ghost in the Shell game
Damn that's what I was gonna say
@@paulberry7037 great minds!
Metal Jesus actually mentioned Apocalypse with Bruce Willis! :o Glad it’s getting some love! I still have Future Cop on my ps3. That’s one nostalgic video!
It’s getting to the point where you’re just gonna mention the entire library as a hidden gem 😂
Well to be fair the PS1 had a ton of games so MetalJesus could make tons of videos about lesser known games from the library. You wouldn't be able to do that with the N64 or Dreamcast
7,000 PS1 games were released. I've talked about 40 of them over the years...so... probably not 😂
MetalJesusRocks Wow 7,000! Didn’t realise. I’ll look forward to a ton more of these then 👍🏻. Love the channel!
I've missed these Hidden Gem videos. The old ones are classic videos of the channel and make for VERY great collector's guides. Hope he does some more soon.
Glad you like them!
The average sell price of future cop lapd
Before the video: $25-$30
After this video : $60-$70
T.R.A.G mission of mercy sell price
Before this video $19-$20
After this video $50-75
😑😑😑😑
I loved the 2 player mode in Future Cop LAPD, even against the bot the RTS like skirmishes were very enjoyable.
Heyy I've horded these crap games that I bought dead cheap, now I need you guys to create demand for it so the prices can increase and I can swim in profits!
PS1 had so many games, I think you could make at least 5 more Hidden Gem videos, and I'll never be tired of them. Always discovering something new through these videos.
Hello from Brazil, I've discovered recently your channel through youtube indication, love your content, congratulations for it. What happened with kelsey??? She doesn't do videos on her channel about one year ago. Hugs!!!
A cool thing about Kodelka, every in-engine cutscene is fully mocapped, and completely to scale with the environment. If they're sitting around a table, the actors will really be sitting around a table.
Actually, Koudelka *IS* a prequel to Shadow Hearts 1 & 2, even with re-appearing characters & locations (such as Koudelka, Roger Bacon, & the Nemeton Monastery in Wales). I love the mix of survival horror & RPG in the 1st Shadow Hearts & Koudelka.
I love Shadow Hearts more, but I also love Koudelka (except the breaking weapons, which killed it for me).
I love all the low poly games. People might say the graphics suck, but I think it’s awesome!
Future Cop LAPD, where LA is a completely lawless wasteland; life imitating art? That's an accurate description of LA and Oregon also for that matter.
Awesome that you mentioned Koudelka. Had a great time playing it earlier this year.
Same here!
Ps1: Road Rash 3D and Demolition Racer: Racing games and Army Men Serries: fps also have a couple Cabella hunting games aswell ...
Bit of info regarding Future Cop:LAPD, it started development as Future Strike (There is a "teaser" for it in Nuclear Strike).
They changed direction a tad and out popped Future Cop.
The suits wanted to cancel it outright because "No one was interested" in the franchise any more.
It is a great single player game that has a fun multiplayer mode as well.
7:19 - You mention Bugz and Taz: Time Busters but no mention of the awesome shared screen co-op that game had?
Like almost nothing else on the platform.
That makes perfect sense! I'll have to try that some time.
Eggs of Steel are spiritual successor of Dizzy
