Favourite PS1 games (and others of that gen)

[jezz8me]

This was a great generation of gaming for me. It was the generation i began with. I just started playing PS1 games again, finding out the ps3 could lay them, and i am still loving them.

I was a child so i missed out on some of the greats like the FF games or Metal Gear Solid because of ratings but I loved the old platformers. They were not as tedious as the Mario generation ones and they had a great sense of humor and variety. Currently i am re-playing Spyro 2 and just finished Spyro The Dragon and Crash Bandicoot: Warped. I am also nearly finished MediEvil which i could never pass.

What are your favorites from this generation and why?

FFIX. After the (emo) Cloud and the (just as emo) Squall, it was refreshing to have a less serious main character. Also, the story proved that you do not have to have uber-serious characters in order to have a serious storyline. It's one of the few games that has made me actually hate a villain long before the boss fight. The way you learn abilities is pretty cool and is very intuitive. The Trance system is a bit problematic, but the characters overall are fairly well-developed.

I really want to play FF VIII and IX. The battle system of VIII sound very interesting and i would like to see the story of IX. Cloud always seemed the coolest main character IMO. He gives a sort of cold apathetic yet still depressed and haunted character air but i haven't played his game.
Certainly playing VII was great seeing how awesome the PS1 titles were compared to PS2. Although i did enjoy them all. Got over XII quickly.

My favorite PS1 games were In the Hunt and Loaded.

Definitely Legend of Legaia, and The Legend of the Dragoon. Two of my all-time favorite RPGs. Final Fantasy IX is by far my favorite Final Fantasy game, and the game that introduced me to the series. Crash Bandicoot is always a classic too.

and does anyone remember Digimon World??? Such an awesome game. So lame, but so awesome.... haha

Oddworld: Abes Oddysee and Resident Evil 2.

 

[Nugoo]

Every Final Fantasy released during that era, plus (I can't believe no one's mentioned these yet) Goldeneye, Ocarina of Time, and Episode 1 Racer.

Edit: It came out a year before the PS1, but still, SimCity 2000.

 

[GloatingSwine]

Lunar. System Shock. Doom. All still entertaining. Lunar still stands out as a great RPG.

 

[nightfish]

I always liked Koudelka but I think I'm in a minority on that one.

G-police was good as well.

 

[Zaggles]

One of my favorite PS1 games was Legend Of Dragoon. Gotta give some love to Oddworld too, had a lot of fun with Oddysee and Exoddus. Driver 2 was a lot of fun too.

I thought it was only PS1 games, but if you insist; My REAL fav. game of thar era was Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (actually it's my fav. game period.)
