The one that hold up tend to be the ones that are quite expensive considering their age.
I've seen the original Silent Hill for £15 at the cheapest, which is a lot to ask for a game from two generations ago.

The one PS1 game that I still play to this day is Yu-Gi-Oh: Forbidden Memories. I'm not totally sure where you can get a copy but I am sure there wil be plenty around.
Legend of legaia
Legend of dragoon
Wild arms 2 ( and to a lesser extent wild arms1)

FFIX is also very good. And Tactics. Tactics is my all-time favorite game.
I've never played the remake though (isn't it only for PS Vita or... whatever the old handheld is?) ... I thought it was supposed to be harder? Or I could just know the game well enough that it's lost all challenge. I've played hundreds of hours of it, though.
Also, try the Wild Arms series. Maybe watch some trailers to see which one you'd like to play - they're really, really varied, even gameplay wise.
Trying to picture my shelf at home, but most of it is stuff on that list, still.

I'm also going to throw Wild Arms 2 and Wild Arms 1 in there, and Final Fantasy 9.
So many people skipped those titles and they were wonderful.
If you have Spyro 2, why not Spyro 1 and 3?

Ick OP is in UK so providing he has an EU Ps1 then a lot of the truly great titles aren't available. I know I had to import a ps1 and games to play a lot of the truly amazing ones.
FF Tactics
Parasite Eve
Chrono Cross
Valkyrie Profile
amazing games but were never released in the EU for PS1 :/

It's nothing compared to the PC version which you can get from GOG.com for about a tenner at the most.Doitpow said:
Lots of good suggestions. I'd add Jade Cocoon, Grandia, Tekken 3 and Tomba off the top of my head. Time Crisis if you happen to have a light gun.
I remember that one! You start off as the pharoah, don't you? Buying decent cards is monstrously expensive.Dalek Caan said:
Well sense you have Final Fantasy VII and VIII, why not get IX? That game is pretty much one of, if not my most favorite RPG. In both story and gameplay. It is a gem.
Medievil is good, but not great. Worth checking out at the very least, especially because he's in PASBR.
Tomba, while a great game, is unrealistic to ask for, considering it retails for $80.
Spyro 3 is not nearly as good as 2 - having just played all three games recently, I can safely say that the first two are far superior.
Check out Gex - great 2-d platformer (sequels optional - didn't age at all).
Also, why did no one say Ape Escape yet?
