The Top 100 PS1 Games In 10 Minutes ...according to Metacritic!

[@gamingandtech8710]

THIS is the game world I can still see and feel in my head when I think "video games". It's so wide and varied. There's creativity bursting from every-which way... A lot of uniqueness, too... Completely unlike video games today, sadly.

[@sandwich1601]

*DISCLAIMER: **_"Only games with seven or more reviews are eligible" - Metacritic_* In other words Metacritic only lists 188 ps1 games. Of those 188, 98 are in the green, 73 are yellow, and 17 are red. Compare that to the near 500 (of roughly 1600) ps2 games all in the green. Games not among their listings include Crash 1/2, Spyro 1/2, Medievil, Twisted Metal 1-3, Tomb Raider 2, Resident Evil 3, Breath of Fire 3, or even OP's desired Omega Boost, just to name a few. Good list nonetheless. Thanks!

[@gabeleahy]

No Heart of Darkness either...

[@MrRIP96]

Road Rash, Front Mission 3, and (how the hell) there is no Hogs Of War.

[@DailyClipTV3848]

Damn toy story was to good graphics in the year 1999

[@vangazon]

no twisted metal, vigilante 8, street fihghter ex2, mortal kombat trilogy, bloody roar, syphon filter 2 and 3, blade, jackie chan stunt master, nba 98, tarzan, road rash, armored core, future cop lapd, fighting force, nuclear strike and nuclear dawn.

[@diegocrusius]

blame metacritic, though I really miss those games on top100

[@Fluffyolphert]

Who else was obsessed with the Tenchu series?

[@diegocrusius]

I was fascinated with this game but I sucked at it

[@gregcord3886]

Was?! Lol

You've gotta laugh when games hardly anyone has heard of or remembers fondly are ahead of games people are still playing in 2020. :P

5:07 Dino Crisis 2,the game deserved much better. It never got a Sega Dreamcast release,no alternative outfits,and most of all it did not deserve to end so badly it had potential.

[@alexmorpheus6762]

I grew up playing this game and RE2. These two games are tied in rankings for me.

[@Omega_1998_]

@alexmorpheus6762 excellent,good to know. DC2 should brought back therizinosaurs for both the story and the Extra Crisis modes,they brought back Gail and Rick,so they should've done the same for therizinosaurus.

[@Bloody-Butterfly]

OMG no Twisted Metal 2 !

Gary Thanks to you :D

[@LetoAtreides82]

Your other Top 100 PS1 Games video has like 20 times the views this one got even though they were both posted the same day.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

YES! They were even both dropped at the same time-of-day (5pm Pacific time). But for whatever reason, the KZbin algorithm promoted the heck out of the other video, while not promoting this one at all. So, as you've noticed - the other video has 20 times as many views... THANK YOU FOR NOTICING!

Is there a Kind of hd Filter ??? Every Game Looks so much better

[@patbrown911]

Emulation with a higher resolution, I guess.

[@ErJotaCL]

Yeah, some emulators like ePSXe alows you to up-scale the resolution and add more anti-aliasing or something. I only tested that with ePSXe, i'm not sure if FPse allows you to do that.

[@darinherrick9224]

Who knew Madden 2001 was better than Final Fantasy VIII?

maybe because of nostalgia ,but to me ps1 have to best game list ever even though ps2 had sell much more

[@DmitriyK12]

Hmm, I regret to say that I haven't played all these videogames; also, some if not all of these titles should be included in a second version of the Sony PS1 classic/mini.

[@0mnicide]

Do you own the PS1 Classic? If so there’s a $20 preloaded USB on amazon called “trueblue mini” that adds 101 games. There’s 3-4 versions that you can buy, each with a different set of games. I bought the “crackhead” version which has Alundra Azure Dreams Blood Omen - Legacy of Kain Brave Fencer Musashi Breath of Fire III Breath of Fire IV Bust-A-Move 2 - Arcade Edition Castlevania Symphony of the Night Circuit Breakers Crash Bandicoot Crash Bandicoot 2 Crash Team Racing Croc 2 Diablo Digimon World Digimon World 2 Digimon World 3 Dino Crisis Dino Crisis 2 Disruptor Driver - You Are the Wheelman Driver 2 Einhander FIFA Soccer 2005 Final Fantasy - Origins Final Fantasy IV Final Fantasy Tactics Final Fantasy V Final Fantasy VI Final Fantasy VIII Gex Gex - Enter the Gecko Gex 3 - Deep cover Gecko Gran Turismo Gran Turismo 2 - Arcade Mode Gran Turismo 2 - Simulation Mode Harvest Moon - Back to Nature Hogs of War Hot Shots Golf Hot Shots Golf 2 Klonoa - Door to Phantomile Legacy of Kain - Soul Reaver Legend of Legaia Legend of Mana Madden NFL 98 Medievil Medievil II Megaman Legends Megaman X4 MLB 2000 NCAA March Madness 2001 Need for Speed - High Stakes NFL Blitz NHL Face Off NHL Face Off 99 Oddworld - Abes Oddysee Parappa the Rapper Persona 2 - Eternal Punishment Resident Evil Resident Evil 2 Resident Evil 3 - Nemesis Saga Frontier Shanghai - True Valor SimCity 2000 Simpsons Wrestling Soul Blade Spyro - Year of the Dragon Spyro 2 - Riptos Rage Spyro the Dragon Street Fighter Alpha 3 Suikoden Suikoden II Syphon Filter Syphon Filter 2 Tactics Ogre Tales of Destiny Tekken Tekken 2 Tekken 3 Tenchu - Stealth Assassins Tenchu 2 Tetris Plus Tiger Woods 99 - PGA Tour Golf Tomb Raider Tomb Raider II Tomb Raider III Tomba!

[@hadriendonzel7588]

This ranking doesn't count at all, because a lot of big games of video games history are not in it because they're from 1997 or before (like crash bandicoot, 1996..), and above all the real rankings back then, until 1999 or 2000, were in the magazines, in the video games press.

[@undercover1921]

no team buddies on this list either

[@GaryRetroGamer]

Team Buddies is a game that came out a little later in the PS1's lifecycle and did not get a lot of marketing; as such, no many people knew about it. Which is why I put it on this list: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZmTZ3WsgtBnla8

Legend of Dragoon deserved better, Metacritic scores are a joke.

[@selforganisation]

I'm grateful for these lists, but I don't like some of the games have cutscenes shown. Like the FF classics collection.

[@loveandparty4118]

I always thought people just pretended to enjoy this system in particular. I recall playing many of the games and a lot of the time the only way to play the games was in regular mode, which was too easy, or an extreme difficulty which was too difficult to enjoy.

[@trojanx7723]

What do you mean pretended it was amazing graphics back in day Most people enjoyed the ps1 yes Nintendo 64 came out a few years later but it didn’t have a big list of great games like ps1 did yes Nintendo 64 did have some epic games ps1 had way better line ups tomb raider games die hard trilogy crash bandicoot games metal gear solid .tekken games GT games and driver and WWF smack down games many more the was only a few games I liked on Nintendo 64.plus Nintendo 64 games was more expensive of course though Nintendo 64 had better graphics but the line up of ps1 was way better I would play my ps1 way more than Nintendo 64 although Nintendo did have some great games Goldeneye.star wars shadow of the empire .wwf attitude yes I no it’s on ps1 but I prefer it on Nintendo 64.1080 snowboarding Mario 64 and Mario karts wipe out on Nintendo 64 better than ps1 I would have liked them do more wipe out games for n64 felt better

[@flixbeat3652]

starting of the video and saw legend of dragoon on 99th spot, I'm like Metacritic is really a joke.

PlayStation Classic: 7½ for 100, or 1.5 out of 20

[@PhillipGallant]

Your math requires translation.

[@phillipgallant2931]

You’re right, my sincerest apologies, as Phillip Gallant is taken by a blind rage anytime the PlayStaion brand is the subject, since news of the PlayStation Classic games lineup, and the original post reflects that.

[@PhillipGallant]

​@@phillipgallant2931 Perhaps the problem translates to something like this, keeping in mind the author is not a "maths person": Batter, Retro Console X, has to hit 20 pitches, and has a limit of pitches is 100 to do so. What is Retro Console X’s batting average? And similarly: Batter, Retro Console Y, has to hit 21 pitches, and has a limit of 100 pitches to do so. What is Retro Console Y’s batting average? “Pitches” would be defined as critically acclaimed games, and “hits” as games included on/in Retro Console X and Retro Console Y
