TOP 10 PLAYSTATION GAMES - Happy Console Gamer

[@jeffreyluzunaris8257]

This is so tough! I love the PS1 days! 1. Final Fantasy VII 2. Metal Gear Solid 3. Resident Evil 2 4. Final Fantasy VIII 5. Final Fantasy Tactics 6. Xenogears 7. Legend of Dragoon 8. Mega Man Legends 9. Parasite Eve 10. Tekken 3 PS1 Library it’s just soooo good!

[@mastertarpolin]

Some nice games there - lol yeah I kinda cheated with my list. I just added a chunk of honorable mentions under my top 10 as there were tons of brilliant games for PSX.

[@obidahasdia4095]

Thats why i have ps classic and ps1 OG

[@AlanTrades]

Don't forget twisted metal 2 and vigilante 8

[@85kentray]

Wow your list is my list lol

[@bentvk2248]

Wow your list is really good. Final Fantasy VIII doesn't get enough love. Tekken 3 is also probably the best fighting game on the ps1

[@Feelin_DanDy]

Brave Fencer Musashi doesn't get enough love. One of my favorite games growing up, it's a hidden classic gem by the legendary Squaresoft.

[@alextoschi2242]

I don't think something can be hidden and classic. Those are pretty mutually exclusive terms.

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Great game too!

[@justinburmeister6316]

Same with Bushido Blade. One of my favorite fighting games.

[@tomkempa1970]

Final Fantasy 7 over world music is my all time favorite.

[@tknjin]

I have very fond memories of Metal Gear Solid. I remember my dad was stationed in Korea at the time, but before he left he warned my brother and I that we weren't going to have our playstation for awhile. The reason being was because he went to get it modded there because it was cheaper to do it there than it was here in the states back in the late 90s. My dad finished his job in Korea and when he came back he came with a stack of CD-Rs and cases along with them. One of them was Metal Gear Solid. My brother and I were blown away, and then we stayed over at our cousins house to show him the game and even he was like "whoa this is amazing!" Good times~

[@fearthepointman3134]

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver deserves a mention. One of my favorites.

It's a work of art in it's own right. The angular graphics and textures really fit into the gothic futurism vibe.

[@tintaelectronica7732]

Amen to that.

[@rickderris5294]

Yep, loved Soul Reaver back in '99. However, I went back to replay it a few years ago and the graphics just don't hold up. This game needs a Remaster or Remake.

[@erjino]

I love it, to. But the puzzles would knock it off my list. But oh, that story and those performances are top tier indeed.

[@HollowRick]

​@@rickderris5294 that's because you need to play the dreamcast version higher resolution textures high quality music and 60fps

Breath of Fire 4 is genuinely my favourite JRPG of all time. If the franchise wasn't dead I'd be jonesing for a remaster... as in, exactly the same game but with the 3D elements brushed up to meet the artists' original vision. Headcanon for me was that the demons and dragons were rendered that way to show they were truly from a different dimension.

[@Ciderpunk-jj5es]

Great era. Wish Sony hadn't muffed the PS Classic so badly.

[@randybradley4151]

People should never have whined about what games were on it because they should have realized that the modding community would have all the PS1 games on it with extras. I guess I cannot complain because I picked up my classic from Best Buy Canada for $10 brand new instead of the launch price in Canada of $130.

[@dreamerabe]

Wish they would release a PSOne Mini with a different line up of games, and actually good emulation. Though I agree with the previous poster that the lineup doesn't matter much, as the best thing to do with these mini consoles is to hack them to add all the games you want.

My exposure to the console (and the games surrounding it) was very limited but when I saw the opening cinematic for FF8 (via a bonus disc for FF7) I knew I had to play it. It took me 3 years to rinse the game inside and out and it still stands as my favourite Playstation 1 game to this day.

Vae Victus -- suffering to the conquered. Ironic that now I was the one suffering. Not anything as pedestrian as physical pain. Rather the cruel jab of impotent anger -- the hunger for revenge. I didn't care if I was in Heaven or Hell -- all I wanted was to kill my assassins. Sometimes you get what you wish for. The Necromancer Mortanius offered me a chance for vengeance. And like a fool, I jumped at his offer without considering the cost. Nothing is free, not even revenge.

I was 7 years old when i first watched my brothers play the Final Fantasy 7 demo in 1996/97 and when i got my little hands on it it changed my view of video games from a short moment of entertainment into video games changing my view of games into a more serious medium on the same level as movies and music and life in general. Never will i forget what that game did for me and my life and will remain my all time favorite game of all time. And the music is the best in any game in my opinion.

Yeah man - FFVII for life!

I need that RR type 4 shirt. Also loved the game

Great video. Thanks for the good memories. It was a great console. All my friends had the N64. I was the only one to have a ps1.

[@surrendersurvive7825]

Jersey Devil is my favorite game ever straight up. But Ape Escape was so good. Gotta love old platforms

Final Fantasy VII waz my verry first FF game I have ever played back then (in 2018) and I got addicted real fast. I played it again in 2020 around the exact same time its remake was released,it was perfection. 💯

[@barozz4354]

@5:48 Incredible cinematics! LOLOL

[@protodad6151]

Nice list Johnny! Gotta say we share very similar taste in games. Xenogears, MGS, FF Tactics, Suikoden 2, Castlevania SotN, Dino Crisis, Star Ocean 2, are just some of my favorites on PS1.

[@georgegoodman5213]

"I am Alpha and Omega...", Xenogears was amazing!, your list almost match mine! (missing Valkyrie Profile and legend of dragoon)

[@alk7934]

Xenogears is still one of my fav games of all time. Square was truly on top of their game with the playstation. Xenogears was a masterpiece.

[@282miguel]

Great list Johnny!!! Love to see SOTN on there. I remember you sharing a story about losing your Symphony progress to some kids who you let play your PlayStation. My personal top 10 1. Valkyrie Profile 2. Metal Gear Solid 3. Silent Hill 4. Star Ocean Second Story 5. Lunar the Silver Star 6. Final Fantasy Tactics 7. Symphony of the Night 8. Revelations: Persona 9. Resident Evil 2 10. Alundra

[@sergeilikhomanov8638]

Alundra was my first "Zelda like" game, before i knew zelda series exists ) Still Alundra is the best 2-d zelda clone ever made

[@282miguel]

@@sergeilikhomanov8638 I completely agree. Alundra feels like the lost 32-bit Zelda never was with s deep plot and rich characters

[@Krioux3]

1000% agree about Ridge Racer! It was the game that got me into racing games, I had the racing wheel/pedals and played for days! The music is still timeless!
