who is really savvy on european ps1 games?

[pragmatic insanester]

while searching for "worst ps1 games ever" lists on google today, i game across quite a few unfamiliar names in databases. while most people that i know on here that deal with "imports" usually refer to the japanese counterparts, i don't have knowledge of someone savvy with european only releases and whatnot.

my computer is still kind of crapped out, so if i missed a former thread using the search engine where this was already discussed, my apologies.

AtariBuff, tinsair and *ahem* I's can try and aswer any questions. So, what crappy games are you interested in? :)

Most all of my collection is PAL, and I've seen some real horrors over time too, so ask away and we'll see what we can help with.

damn, i was so absorbed in searching that i basically forgot to check back at the thread. i did manage to find a new beat 'em up (rather, a hack 'n slash) by the name of Legend. i'm guessing its related to the snes title and movie of the same name?

either way; which games, pal-exclusive, would you totally point out as a terrible product?

[hydr0x]

well, there are hundreds of totall crap games in Europe, just buy anything from Phoenix Games LOL

the latest PAL title, Schnappi comes to mind, it's definately crap, i can get you a sealed one for 15 EUR + shipping 8-)

On the other hand, there are some real gems to come from the PAL world.

For example, Hell Night [J too], or Terracon.

Or Midas for that matter. Nice Cats, although aimed at kids, was utter drivel. Thankfully their PS2 output improved.

I haven't got Legend myself but I believe it was developed by the same crew that did the SNES version. It's not related to the movie (not officially anyway).

My favorite for the worst PAL-exclusive is Strike Force Hydra, a shooter also seen on GBA. It's a real pooper.

I have "Legend" in my collection and will check it out tonight - sadly no Tangerine Dream score like in the movie :( (that doesn't mean that the game is releated to the movie ;) )

@DLR
I have to check SFHydra some day as I thought it to be a solid 2D shmup checking the screenshots LOL

i own but haven't played Hellnight yet. i'm trying to find a cheap copy of Overblood 2 and basically any copy of Poy Poy 2.
