    What are your favourite PS1 games? Hopefully you enjoyed this list. :)

      Too be honest I'm not a big PlayStation fan but you were right with rage racer. I loved ridge racer revolution and sorta tekken 2... some will say driver which pushed the system to the limit which i certainly enjoyed in the day - but i prefer games these days that stay within the PlayStation limits. Aka destruction Derby (even tho in the day I only had the Saturn version....oooh i know...) and the sequel too.
      Much love K.J
      Ps. I played the hell out of the demo of metal gear solid.

      Die Hard Trilogy. Is objectively the best game? No. Is it even subjectively the best game to me? No. It has a lot of rough edges. But I will never forget seeing it for the first time, and realising we just took a big step forward

    For Silent Bomber, did you know you can directly place bombs on the enemies?
    Holding the button brings up a targeting reticle, if you manage to get the end of it over an enemy it will lock on, and then you can tap the button repeatedly to attach the bombs.

    In my opinion the PlayStation 1 was the most important console of all time and marked a turning point in gaming and 3d graphics. I didn't even own one but it really was something very special.

    • @alexanderharris8310
      @alexanderharris8310 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Agreed that it was and is a very special console that changed gaming, and even changed society to some extent, but your point about it being the console that single-handedly changed the gaming world is debatable. I say this because the N64 was the first truly popular console capable of lifelike 3D graphics. But I have to admit that the PS1 had a larger and better library. I would also argue that the Pong console was the most important console of all time, simply because it was the first.

    • @GreySectoid
      @GreySectoid 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I was never into consoles and cut my "computing teeth" on the ZX Spectrum and Commodore Amiga - but it's always interesting seeing what I missed out on on the console side of things and there's definitely a few games in your list that I will trying in an emulator or two.
    But I guess that original PS1 "Mental Wealth" advert did its job on me because I still remember and loathe it as much as I do today as I did back then - definitely in my "Top Ten Most Annoying Ads Of All Time" being just so incredibly "up its own arty-farty bottom".

    Oddly enough hearing the PS magazine tune at the end reminds me most of what I remember the PS1 for: Magazine demos. We had relatively few games, but every month we got that magazine with about 4 or 5 demos on it. MGS, Tombi, Soul Reaver, Syphon Filter, Ape Escape etc... I remember them less as full games and more the one or two levels you got on the PSM cover disc.
    That said my favorite game this video lacked was without doubt Vagrant Story. It was fiddly to get into, but it was primetime Squaresoft pushing the system to its limits and with a fantastic story to boot!

    • @zenksren8206

    Brilliant list! I think it's telling of our slightly different ages because I was 6-10 when I originally owned and played my PlayStation. As such I think my faves reflect that:
    Kula World - One of the first 3D games I ever played and the graphics and physics of this "world" blew my mind as a kid and it still holds a place in my heart.
    Crash 3: One of the few games I not only completed, but actually bothered trying to get the hidden collectables. As a total non-completionist, it's really saying something.
    CTR: You basically said all that needs saying in the vid.
    Spyro 3 - My favourite of the Spyro series. Colourful, varied gameplay and I got to play a little dragon charging at guys and breathing fire. The other characters and NPCs were really fun and memorable, too.
    MediEvil 1&2 - Great action-adventure fun where I played a skeleton. Yes, yes, yessss.
    Micro Machines V3 - My other favourite racing game on the system. I still remember many of the jingles, the tracks and the fun powerups. And who could forget Cherry's Driving School 😂.
    Tombi! - swallowing and regurgitating items was never not amusing to child me!
    Rayman - I still remember the end of level jingle. Brilliant stuff
    Final Fantasy 9 - This was the only one that appealed to me style-wise as a kid and as blasphemous as it sounds, I've never gone back to play the other two 😬. But I absolutely adore this game, my favourite of the FFs I *have* played
    Resident Evil 2/Dino Crisis - put together as they're the only more "mature" games I really played on the system back in the day but they were very effective in scaring me. The atmosphere really was good, especially in the latter imo.

    I remember that one track in Rage Racer where you had to pick that car with a huge top speed, but awful acceleration. It took ages to catch up with the other racers, but once you did, you'd go flying past them.
    However, you had to make in around the circuit (3 laps I think) without any crashes, or you wouldn't be able to catch up with the other cars again due to the poor acceleration. Was a good challenge that one.

    I've added 400 plus PS1 games to my SNES mini already, thought my 'hidden gem' hunting was finished but will now have too add at least another dozen, many thanks

      This is just Kim's top 100 though. Had it been my top 100 there wouldn't have been any sports games at all and many more JRPG's.

    Absolutely enjoyed every second of this list. Fantastic stuff. Your videos are so well done Kim and I watch your chanel constantly you are excellent! For me as a sports nut I would have included Brian Lara Cricket and Jonah Lomu Rugby on here. Both in the top 3 games of these sports ever made. Arguably Jonah Lomu is the best rugby game ever made. Both excellent and would be in my list. Terrific stuff as ever and a great watch...

      Yep, JLR is an absolute classic, best rugby game ever by a mile, and still brilliant in 2 -player mode.

    As far as I'm concerned, the list is only missing Vagrant Story, Front Mission 3 and FF9. Nice list.

  • @dibs0equiped
    @dibs0equiped 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Just wanted to say before watching this video that if this list doesn't have Alundra, that is criminal. My favorite game of all time and the most underrated game of all time.....Okay it has haha

  • @lukegregoryCOHBL
    @lukegregoryCOHBL 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Real nice to see Gekido and Silent Bomber so high up, two great and under-appreciated gems. Also nice to see some love for Heart of Darkness and Klonoa.
    Big omissions for me are:
    Soul Reaver
    Mega Man X4
    Monkey Hero (pure nostalgia here)
    Sheep Dog 'n' Wolf
    Worms
    MDK (PC version is probs better but still)
    Sled Storm
    Chrono Cross
    FF9 is the big one for me though, my favourite piece of art in general. Would love to see you do a long-form retrospective for 9 like you did for 7 and 8, just to round off the PS1 trilogy.

  • @angrycandy5441
    @angrycandy5441 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Ah, you kept me waiting for Bushido Blade there - was nearing panic stations that it hadn't show up yet, but very glad to see it reach a high spot. Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve are up there for me and the only two I missed - nice to see Tenchu make the grade too.

  • @riv4lm4n
    @riv4lm4n 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Sad you didn't include the strike games, not only are they the definitive one but they also held up perfectly, soviet and nuclear strike are the only games like this, perfectly blending FMV, realisticish setting and fun gameplay. Future cop LAPD is a nice game but isn't a strike game at all. More people should know about those games.

    • @gipgap4
      @gipgap4 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Future Cop was/is one of my fave PS1 games. Never played the Strike games themselves but it’s great that FC is featured here over its more famous siblings.

    One really weird but memorable game is Tail of the Sun. An early game from 96 where as a caveman you took care of your tribe and built up strength to kill mammoths and collect enough tusks to reach the sun.

    Ghost In The Shell. Absolutely top draw, great graphics, soundtrack, cutscenes and most importantly gameplay. If you haven't played this one check it out, it's very immediately entertaining.

    Nice video and I am pleased to see Tenchu in the top 10. One football game I have never heard you talk about is Super Shot Soccer (Bakuretsu Soccer. I'm not into football, but I really enjoyed the interesting take that this game has.

    Felony 11-79 was known as Runabout in Japan and was the first game in a fairly popular series. When the sequel came out in Europe in 2003 not only was it 3 years after the American release (and nearly 4 years after the Japanese release!) it was called Runabout 2. There was a game on the Dreamcast that actually came out before the Playstation sequel (Super Runabout: The Golden State).

    I notice from the footage you're having trouble emulating PS1 games with Redbook audio. My personal favorite PS1 game is Klonoa, it's one of the only games I can call a masterpiece and I absolutely cannot wait for the upcoming remake collection
    19:41 Because this actually was originally going to be a Strike game
    20:23 I'd say a mixture of things, namely the extra input lag from HDTVs (that thankfully can be compensated for now on modern emulation) and the game itself is very random in what it considers good/bad when you're playing freestyle. Um Jammer Lammy holds up much better
    1:19:17 You need to play the sequel IQ/Kurushi Final, it's basically the first game but with more content/unlockables and it gets rid of the small delay when you detonate bombs which makes the game flow much better
    You covered pretty much all my favorite and big nostalgic PS1 games short of Speed Freaks and Tomba and MediEvil, holy crap this was a really good list
