I've loved older systems since I played my first game system, the old systems are reasons why I subscribed.

[@mattforbes5808]

oh yeah nothing better

[@LGR]

Such a fun system to collect for! Next to the Atari 2600, the most games I have for any one console is the PS1. Both are similarly cheap to collect for and have such a massive variety of stuff to choose from. And imports are a total pleasure for the PS1, that could be another lengthy video on its own. Nice list of games there, and the beauty of it is that my list would be almost 100% different :)

One of my first PlayStation memories, leaving ape escape running to go to the shops with my mum to get a memory card after remembering we needed one P:

[@stevencamp69]

Funny shit because I did that like a decade later than you did. But I did it with the ape escape on the psp😂😂😂😂 great memories. Funny cause you triggered an ancient memory, and that it was the same damn game😂😂

[@UltraShield]

Fun fact: Soul Edge was renamed Soul Blade for the American release because there was some dickhead named Tim Langdell who owned an old PC game company named Edge Games, and he claimed to have a trademark on the word "Edge" and always threatened to sue anyone that put Edge in a game or product. It was only recently that the trademark was cancelled because he tried to sue EA in 2010, but of course he lost the case because... well he was just some trademark troll trying to sue one of the largest gaming companies in the world for infringement.

[@LobotomizedLogan]

trippin916 so get 4 of them and put. Final Fantasy 7 in the PS4 case #resmaterd

[@TheHanStudios]

Yeah, when I was young, I had an SNES, MAY have had a Nintendo 64 (I can't remember), then a PS1, PS2, Gamecube, Wii. I also much later on (in the past few years) bought a PS4 (which I gave to my brother for his birthday), and recently, a New 3DS XL. Other portable systems I had was the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP. I think for many of us, Nintendo is near and dear to our hearts as it was and still is one of the only console systems to offer mostly main-brand (Non-third-party) games made by the company itself. Nintendo is really going somewhere new with the Switch with trying to get more third party software involved, and I just hope they execute their plans well and it all works out great and finally revitalizes Nintendo like it really needs and rightfully deserves.

[@psovegeta]

My top 10 list would be: Final Fantasy 7 Castlevania SOTN Crash Team Racing Metal Gear Solid Legend of Legia Resident Evil Megaman Legends Tomb Raider Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver Legend of Dragoon

[@dhrgkbqxtjr2743]

Praise you for mentioning SOTN, Crash and especially the Legacy Of Kain series

[@glaciiz]

Legacy of Kain games were brilliant!

[@randyjinho2783]

You should try "Suikoden II", it's masterpiece Best RPG

[@BloodyMastersword]

Here are some of my favorites that didn't get mentioned: - Spyro the Dragon 1-3 (Great platformers and a lot of fun for all ages) - Tekken 3 (imho the best fighting game on the system) - T'ai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger (A game by Activision and Dreamworks that is basically a badass video-game version of Kung Fu Panda) - Toy Story 2 (Another great platformer and one of the best licensed games out there) - Crash Team Racing (An amazing Mario Kart clone with Crash Bandicoot and friends) - Tomb Raider 2 (Really doesn't need any introduction)

[@OwtDaftUK]

+BloodyMastersword Glad you mentioned Toy Story 2, very under rated. It has great worlds to explore.

[@Yaeven]

I just want to comment to say I agree about TS2. An excellent licensed game indeed.

[@trapxaholic]

TS2 is just great. Definitely an overlooked game that everyone should give a try.

[@tjhicks3600]

French4Assassin cant believe they forgot about spyro and tomb raider lol

[@frankb513]

I agree, some of the old gran turismos don't hold up well considering they are simulations and we have gotten better at simulating things Twisted metal is a way better choice for a car game. Though I haven't played all the way through chrono yet I really enjoyed LoD so that would get my vote here as well. And spyro was a great 3d adventure game not sure why they didn't have that.

[@EddieKMusic]

Twisted metal 4 is better ;)

To be honest you're better off getting a PS3 and hitting up the PSOne classics on the PS Store. SotN is stupid expensive! It's sad how much pricing is going up. Hell I can't even find an original PSX for under $40-$50. I saw it a few years ago for $15!

How did Metal Gear Solid not make the cut? Others I'd recommend: Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 & 2, Silent Hill, Apocalypse and Twisted Metal 2.

[@Apprentice_of_the_Leonine]

+Chris Roberts There's an Xbox version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 with much better graphics. It's called Pro Skater 2X.

[@The_RadicalOne]

Because those games always make the cut. The pool of PlayStation games is endless

[@sbrazenor2]

+Chris Roberts The first two I thought of were Metal Gear Solid and Tomb Raider. There's also the original GTA, which wasn't great by today's standard, but it's the genesis of a pretty big franchise. It's always good to go back to the roots. (Like they did with Gran Turismo.)

[@madjimms]

N64 Tony Hawk games felt way better and looked better.

[@matthewkluge5441]

Chris Roberts Metal Gear Solid and Tomb Raider are a must ! Tekken 3 was a favorite of mine and was a hell of good on that platform .

[@skateozzy]

Who remembers those demo discs? I think I had as much fun in some of those discs as I did in full games, some memorable mentions as far as demo games are FF8, Brave Fencer Musashi, and Tomb Raider. In addition I think you guys missed some games such as Crash Bandicoot Racing (CTR), the Twisted Metal and Tony Hawk series, as well as the Mega Man games.

[@jamesgriffin7962]

[@darwinespinoza3440]

Your channel has really inspired me to start my PlayStation 1 collection. A lot of games where lost in my many moves and I want to acquire them all back one day. So far I found my old Gray PS1 at my moms and I opened it up, cleaned it, gave it a nice overhaul and plugged it back in. The last game in there was a greatest hits mortal kombat trilogy. The system still works. Nonetheless this makes me love my PS3 even more since it can play ps1 and ps2 games.

[@AtrocitusRage]

The Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver is a must. Superb story telling and great graphics for the time. It is such an underrated series.

The Spyro games are one of the few ps1 games that aren't outdated and still playable today. The third one, Spyro: Year Of The Dragon, would be my favorite but all three are really good! And they have excellent graphics even with today's standards.

[@punkstar1993]

I would honestly recommend the first Metal Gear Solid also, as a way for the new user to get used to the 3-D at the time. Fantastic game and quite challenging. And I would love to recommend Worms: Armageddon for more hilarious yet challenging tactics. Also: - Tekken 2 - Tomb Raider - Spyro the Dragon - Medievil - Medal of Honor - Twisted Metal 2 - Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey

[@NanaKyoto]

Gran Turismo was the game that introduced my interest in cars. And that second model PlayStation you showed is the one I have and with the parallel (or serial?) port, my PlayStation is able to play games on backup CDs. And I have a LOT of games to cover about the PlayStation but I don't want this comment to drag out any longer.

[@Hoopydoo]

I remember getting really hooked on the first Oddworld game - that might have been the first PS1 that really got me. It was so weird and different from anything else up to that point - part platformer, part puzzler, amazingly graphic graphics, and refreshingly original storyline. I just remember putting in a ton of time on the game, beating it, then learning that there's an alternate ending if you save all of the little Oddworld slave people. So then I was unable to rest until I "truly" finished the game. As a result, I didn't have any time for Resident Evil, Rayman, or Gran Turismo. Too busy with Oddworld...

I like the idea of this video, but wouldn't it be better to suggest 10 fairly cheap games? Symphony of the Night is one of the best games on the system, yes, but also one of the most expensive. When I first started collecting for ps1, I searched for the cheap must haves, like Tomb Raider, Crash bandicoot games, spyro games, syphon filter, medievil.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

+satanslegacy No, I really feel like it's best to mention the better games because people could get potentially find the games at Pawn shops, thrift stores or just borrow them from a friend. I have no control over prices and therefore it's best not to focus on it.

[@aquadonkey.]

MetalJesusRocks +1 to that, it wud be nice to get some " good but cheap buying guide" but i like this because it lets me no what to look out for, cus if ur like me u will never EVER pay retail for games, and again this lets me no what to look for.

[@gaminggod5249]

+satanslegacy I agree they made it sound like its cheap to collect for and sure some of the crap games are but the rare RPGs are not at all for the collector with a skinny wallet and finding them in the wild is almost a thing of the past....I have a complete collection of RPGS and Smups and it cost me a fair amount for sure and I started in 1995 whn the prices were MUCH better but finishing the collection now 20 years later I spent some bucks to do so....

[@aquadonkey.]

Gaming God yea im glad i still have all my final fantasies for ps1 just need origins and chronicles to have them all, just havnt felt like getting them cuz i already have chrono trigger and ff2(4) on snes and 1 on NES and have dawn of souls on gba for ff2(real 2)

[@bingevintage8124]

I’m definitely a PlayStation guy so always great to come back to this video and PS1 games definitely hold their value to this day… metal gear sold is definitely a classic on that

[@Zebra66]

The extra AV out on the first PS1 model was due to a lack of official cables when they first came out. I had to solder an RGB scart cable directly to the board for my Japanese ps1 console. Also, people liked to connect them to a seperate stereo system that wasn't connected to their TV. My rgb monitor at the time had no speakers so I used the phono connectors.

[@qbanb8582]

One thing you didn't include is using the PS3. The nice thing about the PS3 is that you use it on an HDTV. You can use the wireless dualshock 3 controller and you don't need any memory cards, it makes a virtual memory card on the hard drive.

[@jet613]

I know that's a little more convenient. But using a ps1 on an old school tv just looks so much better.

[@qbanb8582]

I personally think it looks better on the ps3. I think the overall image looks better. Im probably more sensitive to an interlaced image then progressive scan.

[@jet613]

Well i guess it also depends on your tv also. i have two in my house and one looks better for retro stuff then the other. But i just like the feel of playing on my ps1 anyways. Ive got all the playstations lined up and hooked up to my tv :D.

[@jet613]

i still need to buy a older tv for my ps1 and ps2 though :/. i havent had one for years .

[@CrazyJoe]

I love playing PS1 on PS3

[@brandonwhitson1611]

If you like rpg's the ps1 is king in that area, the must have games on my list are these, Brigandine is the most addictive game on the system, criminally overlooked and a major hidden gem, it is getting expensive as i gave like 80 bucks for my replacement copy, a must have thats worth every penny, next is vandal hearts 1 and 2. simply awesome games, going up in price but Reasonable unlike Brigandine. next is chrono cross and final fantasy 7, get them now while they are not to pricy, ps1 rpg's are sadly getting expensive as hell and i will not ever be able to buy alot of the ones i still want for my collection, i only collect games i love to play, im more of a bioshock,singularity,god of war, uncharted, max payne type of gamer, i love action and 1st or 3rd person shooters, but i still at times crave that rpg type of experience with games like tales of vespera or eternal sonata, but i really love the ones like knights of the old republic and jade empire, anyway those are not ps1 games but my point is that if you want that real true rpg experience then the ps1 is the way to go, the 1st games i mentioned are musts but also check out games like the growlancer series and lunar or suikoden 2, and well there are hundreds so just check out the plethora of rpg's on Ps1 and sadly be ready to break your bank cause alot of them are expensive as hell and only getting more expensive

Twisted metal was an awesome franchise

[@justadude420]

Would love too see twisted metal 2 remade with today's graphics. Just update graphics and maybe add a car or two but keep it simple.

[@krisfrederick5001]

The first one is really bad if you go back and play it, 2 was ridiculously glitched and out of control but, I look at them through nostalgic eyes and love it. I stopped after 3. Black was fine but

I had the one you have, I had no idea they removed those ports and I never used the parallel port though I think I used it for an action replay from UK for cheats (not pirating I was about 8 years old Lol) cool vid learnt something new! Also Crash was my favourite game as a kid back when you'd play 1 or 2 games all year round and Personally I prefer Crash Bandicoot 2 to Warped as the polar bear level and the humour with N Cortex is just amazing. Soul Edge was changed due to that guy Tim Langdell who patented the word Edge and was a super patent troll towards anyone who used the word edge in any way shape or form, Larry Bundy Jr Did a fantastic video about it for Fact Hunt.

[@SamSquids]

the reason soul egde was renamed soul Calibur was because some company named edge games copyrighted the name edge and gone after other companies who used the word edge in there product names. the creators of Soul Calibur didn't want to get into some legal troubles and decided to rename Soul Edge to Soul Calibur in its North America release. also fun fact: they intentionally misspelled Calibur just in case someone copyrighted the word Calibur.

Watching this in 2023 blows my mind! The psone (yep, thats the name), still looks new and clean to me. It's so bizarre the phone I'm watching this on can connect to an 80" 4k tv and bluetooth a controller, upscale the games and I can take everything with me on a whim... Still doesn't hold a candle to getting off school, nabbing my copy of resident evil or metal gear, riding my bike to my buddies house and showing them where I was in the game on their dads "massive" projection big-screen tv.

[@capitancoolo1]

I think my friends and I spent more time playing tekken 3 than any other game. I used Hworang a lot and I can still remember most of his moves.

[@mrblonde609]

Tekken 3 and Soul Blade are the best fighting games on the system. If i had to choose between the two of them, it would be a tough choice. But i was happy that they included Soul Blade, because it is greatly overlooked these days, shadowed by the whole Soul Calibur franchise.

[@ps-lover8380]

Tekken 3 and Soul blade and Bloody Roar 2 at the best games in that system

I would've chosen Tekken Tag Tournament over Soul Blade personally

[@resellingwithjon]

Extremely late to the comments here but a tip for anyone playing PS1 games on their PS2. While you do need a PS1 memory card to save games and load your saves during play, you can copy your PS1 save files over to the much larger PS2 memory card and store them there. Meaning you can basically use a PS2 memory card as a bank for your save files, and get away with only using a single PS1 memory card to load/play those save files. All you need to do is copy the files back and forth as needed. I have hundreds of save files for PS1 and I would need probably dozens of PS1 memory cards if I didn’t do this.

Saying this as someone who has both and grew up with both. The Playstation is a great system and is timeless and its emergence marks the beginning of Nintendo’s great downfall in gaming until the arrival of the Wii.

Point to note: Resi 2 came on two discs with two parallel but independent storylines that criss-crossed during the playthrough. Once you'd finished disc 1, you played disc 2 with an alternate character who had access to a different POV. This gave Resi 2 loads of replayability and great value for money.
