    Default Recommend some ps1 games for me.

    Recently I acquired a backwards compatible ps3. I picked up a few ps3 games including mk9, mvc3 and resident evil 5. I had no problem starting my ps2 collection with games like shadow of the colossus, viewtiful Joe and red dead revolver. Nes , snes and genesis games were easy too.

    It's ps1 I'm having a hard time collecting/playing. Ps1 was actually the last system I was into before I quit playin the first time around. Now that I'm into it again I picked up the resident evil games and mega man 8. Now I feel like it hit a wall. I wasn't much into tomb raider. I never cared for games like crash bandicoot or spyro.

    I had found memories of the first twisted metal and die hard trilogy. Oddly looking at YouTube videos they don't seemed to have aged well. Honestly alot of ps1 games seem like they haven't aged well to me. Grand turismo 2 still looks decent though.

    I don't know.... I hoping you guys can help. There's got to be some gems I'm missing out on!!!

    In my opinion, Castlevania SOTN and Final Fantasy Tactics are the 2 best games for ps1. Both downloadable from ps store.

    If you like shooters,

    Some good First person shooters.

    Quake II
    Both Medal of Honors
    Doom
    Final Doom ( I don't know if there's any exclusive Playstation content on this series )

    Einhander is pretty impressive for side scrolling shooter

    Omega Boost.

    The PlayStation has, like, a bajillion gems. It would really help if you gave us some idea of what you're looking for. If you like Resident Evil, there's Silent Hill. If you like Mega Man 8, there's Mega Man X4 (and X5 and X6, but those are pretty meh). If you like 2D games with platforming, there's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Castlevania Chronicles, Silhouette Mirage, Tomba, Rayman, Strider 2, etc. If you want a good racer, there's Ridge Racer Type 4.

    My top three PlayStation games would probably be Star Ocean: The Second Story, Valkyrie Profile, and Tail Concerto, but I don't know if any of those would be of interest to you.

    Default Must haves for PS1...

    My PS1 faves are Silent Hill, Parasite Eve 1 & 2, and a fun racing game called Nascar Rumble.
    For RPGs, I have not played too many, but I like Vagrant Story a lot.

    So many good games for the PS1

    Definitely recommend the original Metal Gear Solid. Final Fantasy VII, Twisted Metal 2, Medal of Honor.
    I also recommend the Bushido Blade games. They're awesome, mostly realistic sword fighting games.

    Try R-Type - Bloody difficult
    Final Fantasy games - Tactics is the best

    A few of my favorites not mentioned are Brave Fencer Musashi, Threads of Fate (both ligh-hearted action rpg's by Square), Devil Dice (action/puzzle), One (run and gun action) and Castlevania Chronicles to go with SotN.

    I'm in the same situation... I just started buying PS1 games for my PS3 and have been searching for the best ones since I didn't have a PS1 as a kid (I had N64). But here are some of my favorites and some classics:

    Metal Gear
    Castlevania Symphony of the Night
    Mega Man (Legends, 8, X4, X5, X6)
    Gradius
    Resident Evil (Directors Cut, 2, 3)
    Parappa the Rapper

    I also know there are a lot of great RPGs on the PS1, but thats not really my forte

    heres a few off the top of my head:

    Alundra - great action RPG
    Power Shovel - super fun backhoe simulator
    Punky Skunk - classic 16-bit style mascot platformer
    Q-bert - solid and true to form expansion of the basic original Q-bert
    Tiny Tank - it will grow on you
