Collection Done - 81 PSX RPGs in only 9 years

[Daria]

What can I say? I'm a slow hoarder. I got my Playstation for my 15th birthday in December of 1998. My first games were Shadow Maddness, Legend of Legaia, Star Ocean although what I really wanted was Breath of Fire III, that Christmas I opened two copies. Two nights ago my husband proposed a trade of early birthday presents. He wanted to read his Dark Tower comics, and I finished a nine year collection with the addition of Suikoden II.

So now I present to you my baby, 81 PSX RPGs released in English. Be warned this collection does not contain Castlevania or Legacy of Kain. Lets just leave it at that.

Nicely done. Congratulations on completing your collection. Have you played them all? If so, do you have any thoughts on the best and the worst of the bunch? And maybe something underrated?

Congraulations on your completion. I remember when you were looking for suikoden 2.
It is amazing that there is only 81 rpgs for the psx.

Any other conquests planned?

Congrats! That's VERY impressive.

We need to get you some nice new replacement cases for some of those games. I don't want to remember that your collection came from EB and GameStop

Heh. I've been meaning to clean them forever but yeah I'm lazy. Eventually they'll get new cases. I'm not so picky about the plastic as long as the manual and insert are pristine underneath.

As for playing them, I've gone through a bunch, although not all. You'd be surprised how much fun Guardian's Crusade and Shadow Madness were.

Congrats...as I huge RPG fan myself, that is quite an accomplishment

What would you say is the most underrated of the bunch?

[Daria]

Any other conquests planned?

Saturn. I have all the cheap games which is frustating because it leaves me with the cash hogs and I don't like to just buy my way into a collection. But there's three long-box shaped presents under the tree so I suspect after the holidays I won't have too far to go. Maybe then I'll buy Lunar 2 and be done with Sega CD as well.

What would you say is the most underrated of the bunch?

Koudelka. As popular as Shadow Hearts has become in recent years you'd think it would get more love. It suffers from a clunky battle system and retarded "puzzles". But the dialouge and atmosphere are engrossing.

Beautifully done. I tearfully recall owning most of those at one time, but foolishly traded them away before I had joined DP and learned the error of my ways. In my opinion, Granstream Saga is THE worst of the bunch, while Rhapsody is one of my all-time RPG faves. Grandia has my favorite battle system.

And, agreed, Shadow Madness was a blast, even though it borrowed heavily from FF7 in almost every way.

Congrats!

One other thing.....have you toyed around with RPG Maker yet?

Just 2000. I don't know why they bothered with all the console versions at all.It's really a uh... PC thing. That said I was remaking Shining in the Darkness using the graphics from Shining Force 2.

Congratz on the collection. Absolutely beautiful.

[roushimsx]

That's a pretty damn nice collection. You'll have to take a "shelf shot" of 'em sometime

It also reminds me that I need to give Darkstone a try one of these days.

Congrats on the RPG collection, I have a friend that'd love to get a complete RPG collection on the Playstation. So many of those games are just amazing, it's almost all you'd need for the system if you enjoy these types of games.

Actually, Diablo was executed real well for console, their RTS games however attempt to utilize a lacking memory and processing power the consoles of the time had making them quite inferior to the computer releases. I'd like to see a Diablo 3 for console available for play on B.net along with PCs and MACs.

Congrats Daria! A wonderful sight, just looking at the pics is great, to collect RPGs for the PS1 is truly worthwhile.

I have around 50 RPGs for the PS, in the last two years the prices for the games went a bit overboard, (not to mention Suikoden II) that's why I'm hesitant to get more....but these pics give me some incentive...

About those GS/EBGames stickers: just remove them, and you'll get the residue easily off with some cooking oil....oh wait, that hint came from YOU years ago. (Still doing it with all plastic cases -- the easiest way to get sticker residue off)

Congrats on completing that collection!

[RPG_Fanatic]

I'm trying to complete the same collection but with all the strategy guides with the games. I'm up to 62 so far but I don't have all the guides yet.
