aside from playing Counter Strike on PC as a kid..I also grew up playing PS1 and these are the games that brought me to gaming life today.

they are

• Kaettekita Cyborg Kuro-Chan
• Irritating Stick{Shtick}(yes this is also a game..a game of PATIENCE)
• Dino Crisis(Resident Evil's substitute)
• Bishi Bashi Special(WarioWare before it's cool,and my goodness I can spend 3 days straight with this!)
• Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
• Megaman X6
• Pepsiman(yes this is a game)
• Point Blank(the best shooter game I have ever played)
• Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman
• Einhänder(god awful it's so hard)
• Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time
• Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return(way too easy to beat it 38 times)
• Project: Horned Owl
• In the Hunt(a submarine side-scrolled shooter,easier than Einhänder )

showcase yours

Crashbash, Grandturismo, Colin McRae, Fighting force, Nuclear Strike, uhm... i have about 2 maps full of games, give me a second... Ah Worms Armageddon, Tony hawk, random fishing game, and ofcourse Command&Conquer Red Alert!

I hate to be that guy but this bothers me to no end when people say it.

This is a PSX, the below is not.

@nyadc: But, if i am correct you can play PSX games (CD's) on the PS1

@nyadc:tell me,what sort of games on the actual PSX you have as a favorite?...I caption the picture you provided just in case someone's mistaken the console for a UHD DVD player

My favorite PS1 games are: Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Final Fantasy IX, Metal Gear Solid, Spyro, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Tekken 3 and Twisted Metal 2

There are no 'PSX games', it's a PlayStation 2 with a DVR component and some other stuff.

@nyadc: FYI: PSX is an alt code for the original Playstation

so I tried the PS2 to do PSX...turned up nothing,guess mine's a bit older...I see your sig has a collection of games,were you sure PSX games aren't among them?

@Smashbrossive50: still, the PAL PS1 actually could play PSX games so, does that count too?

The PSX is simply a very fancy PS2 which was only released in Japan, so it should by nature play PS games.

I don't buy that, I think people just attached that X descriptor to it on their own to give it a distinction when they're talking about it, I've seen nothing to indicate that it was any kind of internal designation.

have you give it a try first? if it can then I will put it as a yes..just an information,not all titles are playable,as there's what we would call regional exclusives,JP releases may hid something Japanese people understand and we English-speaking gamers don't

@Smashbrossive50: Japan had so many more great games in the era from NES to PS2...

@nyadc: it's to help distinguish the market..nothing big changed it other than kicking the "1" with "X"

maybe I should reconsider editing the topic title just to cater all of us

sometimes Japanese games have Japanese dark humor to it,so that's why we can't see it getting a translated version as easily as one think and hoped for

@Smashbrossive50: as long as i can read what the actions and menu's say i am OK with Japanese voice actors :p

These are my Top 9 PS1 games I enjoy in the late 90s:

1. Tomb Raider [them bazooka boobs sold me good lol]
2. Ape Escape
3. Mega Man X /4/5/6
4. Beast Wars Transformers
5. Spyro The Dragon/Spyro 2: Riptor's Rage
6. Crash Banbicoot 2/3
7. Mega Man Legends/2
8. Street Fighter Alpha 3
9. Metal Gear Solid

Those are my Top 9 games I still own and I didn't play much games when my parents got me my first PlayStation console back in the late 90s.

@dylandr: I know you can,just make sure you're not carried away by those digital waifu posters,and those cho anikis

@Smashbrossive50: i've played some emulated JP games, it took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to start the games but as long as it wasn't like Legend of Zelda that the things the people say actually is crucial from time to time it was great :D

@dylandr: sshhh..don't talk the emulated part loud,the mods might hear you,pretend you played it on the console,it's also depend on game genres, Japanese shooters didn't took too long to start,but RPG...oh boy...I'd go nuts as what's the party setup says and what's the ultimate magic is in Japanese.

With this console I can easily say it would be Twisted Metal 2.

@Heirren: you can specify more if you like...got anything else besides TM2?

@Smashbrossive50: Well, if it wasn't obtainable i am sure they understand!

Final fantasy Viii - also my favorite gAme of all time

Final fantasy ix - another amazing final fantasy gAme

Chrono cross - dam square soft were good in the PlayStation era, another brillIaNt jrpg game.

Resident evil - first game to scare the scrap out of me, although I played this on the Saturn first.

Tekken 3, it was my first game on the PS1. I had no memory card for the first year so I every time I played I had to keep on unlocking characters. I'm not into fighting games anymore but I can still go for a round of Tekken.

Other than that Persona 2 IS & EP, both of which I played in 2013. They still hold up and have an amazing story with a cast worth remembering.

Crash Bandicoot 2 and Crash Bandicoot: Warped
Mega Man X4, X5 and X6
Tekken 3

Other than these games, I'm not sure what my favorites would be.

• Omega Boost
• Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
• Mega Man X3, X4, X5, 8
• Strider 2
• Fighting Force
• Klonoa: Door to Phatomile
• Thunder Force V
• Gundam: Battle Assault 2

Probably Tekken games. Oh, and Twisted Metal 2.

Well we know what you meant. PS1 games. Final Fantasy 7, final fantasy 9, destruction derby, tekken, command and conquer with the link cable! Xenogears, and countless rpgs.

I just looked this game up and it looks like it could be fun. Looks like it's japanese only, guess I'd have to emulate it.

Trivia time!

The original Playstation was often abbreviated as "PSX" before the miniature version, the PSOne, was released, but even then, the console in the second picture has been known as the PSX well before another Sony console utilized that abbreviation, the PlayStation X. It was never sold by Sony outside Japan and it sold poorly, there, so the original Playstation continues to have that abbreviation as part of its accepted names throughout the world.

which is why I tried to convince nyadc about why the PSX is the PS1...he just don't get the memo.sure it's sold poorly,but judging by the size of the "PSX" it should be used as an inspiration to a new PS in the coming years..not to drop it dead,it's a darn waste if you ask me.

Strictly speaking, especially in the USA, PSX was the tentative official name prior to launch for a little while as well - SCEA used it as an alternative branding to playstation in some ads pre-launch by ultimately dropped it prior to launch in the end. By comparison, in Japan PSX will refer specifically to the video-recorder-cross-PS2. There's no real surprised that the western world links PSX to the PS1 instead really, it was very much a thing long before the JP-only PSX or the PS2 were released. The PS1 abbreviation became more popular after the PSOne release, but PSX is still used at times.

On-topic: Honestly, I think I'd have difficulty keeping the list to a reasonable length...maybe I'll list some later if I feel I can keep the list from being stupidly long.

I am in a similar situation.

@dylandr: Yep all the games in that region (PAL NTSC) could be played on that regions ps1/psx

To keep it short I would probably go with Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Final Fantasy IX , Parasite Eve, Tomba 1&2, and Vagrant Story.

On a sidenote, when was this board brought back? I could've swore GS removed the retro boards along with alongside scaling down unions during the site restructure a while back.

The old legacy board is still here but hidden away where almost no one sees it. This retro board just came up recently. Should get a lot more activity being on the main board page.

@Eikichi-Onizuka: I remember you from one of my unions and the legacy board. xD Good to see you still around.

I thought I recognized you. I haven't been around as much since the redesign but do still come around now and then.

I'd have to say symphony of the night. That game was simply amazing even on today's standard
