Didn't play Blood Omen, but Soul Reaver was definitely visually appealing. I remember shifting between realms in one area looking so amazing, you could tell it was really pushing the hardware as the frame rate did drop significantly.

*Final Fantasy IX* has aged beautifully. To this day, it holds up better than the other two (VII, and VIII), though they are fine games. *Street Fighter Alpha 3* is still an excellent port of the arcade original. While we can get arcade perfect versions, now, the PS1 version is still very well done. *Final Fantasy Tactics* is still the yardstick by which all other strategy RPGs are measured. We desperately need a remaster, or at least a port, of this brilliant game. *Klonoa* is every bit the equal of Tomba, in terms of exciting 2D style platforming. It is utterly charming, quite colorful, and an absolute blast to play. *Lunar Silver Star Story Complete* and *Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete* (boy, that’s certainly a mouthful) are two amazing RPGs that time seems to have forgotten. The 2D art is quite lovely, while the story and music tell two gripping tales of adventure. The anime cutscene’s are still beautiful and everything in these games gives the player a true sense of reward upon completion. *Valkyrie Profile* . This was a very unique game that touched on Nordic mythology at a time when few games bothered with the subject. The graphics were outstanding, as were the game play and battles. This is one for the ages. These are a few that deserve to be on a list like yours. Thank you for your lovely trip down memory lane.

Beautiful scenery and levels like in the earlier games but with better graphics and more fluid gameplay to back it up.

Metal Gear Solid was released on the Playstation as a chance for Konami and Hideo Kojima to test out the console 3D graphic capabilities and it have been a technical demo each of the console generations (Playstation 2 has the Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, PS3 has the Metal Gear Solid 4, and PS4 has both the Metal Gear 5: Ground Zero and The Phantom Pain, and the controversial Metal Gear Survive). The Playstation release of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was meant to address the limitation from the Sega Saturn release (Problem with fog transparency and rendering 3D model) but it was rushed and has a different content from the Sega Saturn version (Underground Garden, 2 familiars, and Maria mode was excluded). Some of these were included in the PSP version as Dracula X Chronicles as an unlockable.

Tbh snes and ps1 era had the most creative and fun games, most of the franchises we play to this day were born from that period.

I learnt english at 11 playing crono cross. I used to sit in front of the tv with an english dictionary and searched word by word every dialogue because I loved the game, still beautiful game. Blessings🙏

Oh wow, I also learned a lot of english by just playing videogames lol, but I started much younger because ALL my games were in english, I was basically learning to read my own language and english at the same time
