PS1 Game Recommendations - Fighting, RPG, Shoot em ups, etc.

[JakeHC]

Hey everyone!

Over here in PAL land I've been wanting to turn my collecting back to PS1 now. I've got easily 100+ I'd say, most of them being the popular titles i.e. Crash, Spyro, Final Fantasy, Tekken etc.

But now I'm wanting to look at getting the games that aren't as popular and that are a bit more obscure. I've been slowly compiling a list from eBay and googling last night and it currently sits at:


- Ark of time

Most of the Need for Speed games for the PS1 were great.  Soviet Strike and Nuclear Strike were great shooters as well. 

Also, I'm not big on RPGs, but Vandal Hearts is one of my favorite games of all times.

I managed to pick both Vandal Hearts 1 and 2 for 7 bucks each earlier this year. Still haven't played them yet but it was a hell of a score

I've got way to many ps1 games to even remember what all I got. I got some pretty strange ones.

Unfortunately not It does look good but it was never officially released in PAL. I've got a chipped PS1 so I do plan on importing a few games, but at the moment I've just been mucking around in photo shop to create my own repro cases for them as if they were PAL. It's pretty fun.

Oh I don't think I've heard of Colony Wars. Got all the Tekken games I still think 2 is my favourite since I started out on that. So many hours into that game. I managed to pick up Star Ocean for 25 bucks, missing its manual but for a game that goes for 100 I was stoked Is it any good?

I've played Til the end of time and got bored of it.

Those racing games are definitely ones I need, got the GT's though.
