I just picked up a PS1, which games should I get for it?
I'm not huge on racing games, though everything else is fair game

Silent Hill, and all the old original Crash Bandicoot/Spyro the Dragon games. Also, pretty much all the Final Fantasy games for PS1, but most especially VII, VIII, and IX (7, 8 and 9, for those of you who don't read Roman numerals :p).

That's pretty much all I can think of, given they make up the entirety of my PS1 collection that are any good and that I've not sold over the years. Aside from the FF games, which I still don't own myself but are still worth getting anyway. I do own a few other PS1 games that are either crap or that I don't still play now, and so I won't mention them here...

If you can find a copy, get Ape Escape.

Best damn 3D platformer I ever played on that console.

First game that utilised the analog sticks exclusively, which is to say, you couldn't use the D-pad for movement, you had to use the analog sticks.

It's good. You should get it.

Also, ones that people haven't mentioned:

Driver: You Are the Wheelman [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver:_You_Are_the_Wheelman]
Syphon Filter [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syphon_Filter]

Even nowadays they're still very solid platformers and one of my personal favourites.

You should definitely get them.

I definitely recommend Crash Bandicoot, those games are tons of fun.
Also, Tekken 3, best Tekken there was.
And The first Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver is for PS1, as well as Blood Omen 1.

Also, Bushido Blade.

Seconding Valkyrie Profile and The Legend of Dragoon if you like JRPGs, and the original three Resident Evil titles if you haven't played them. Crash Bandicoot 1-3 are legendary.

Some cracking recommendations here already but like everybody else I am surprised, gutted and stunned that my own personal recommendation hasn't been mentioned already.

G-Police

[Air Wolf theme] Oh, how I coveted that game. Pew pew pew! Take that, miscreants! Think you can smuggle on my watch? Get strafed by rockets and have hyper-velocity missiles up the wazoo! :3

[EDIT] Also, Destruction Derby 1/2. You said you're not a fan of racing games, but these are definitely not about the racing. They are about the smashing. Also, WipeOut 2097, now I don't care if you're not a racing fan. Neither am I but that game is brilliant.
