Best 2D PS1 games?

[LaughingMAN.S9]

most of the ones worth owning or playing have already been mentioned so i'll go a little to the left and say if you have the capability to play imports than definitely DEFINITELY get klaymen klaymen, better known to most people on this side of the world as "The Neverhood"


you can probably get it on pc for dirt cheap or import the japanese copy since it was only released there, i'm pretty sure its 2.5d but ehh fuck it, semantics or no, this game is incredible and very import friendly

Has nobody played Skeleton Warriors? I know it's based off of a 90's cartoon, but the game is solid and a blast to play. A Castlevania clone for sure, but very well made and worth the cheap price of admission. Long Box is cool too!

Original Castlevania clone or Symphony of the Night clone?

Turnabout - spectacular rotational puzzle game that is relatively unknown.

Skullmonkeys is brilliant but LONG and pretty brutally difficult in later stages. Still, it holds up as a FANTASTIC Earthworm Jim style platforming experience.

Beans, beans...

This many replies and no mention of In the Hunt?

[StealthLurker]

By no means comprehensive, off the top of my head some things that might not have already been mentioned...

1) Gear Fighter Dendoh
2) Castlevania Chronicles
3) Gatchaman shooting (shmup)
4) Shienryu
5) Gradius Gaiden
6) Gatchaman Fighting
7) Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (vs fighting)
8) Time Bokan (shmup)
9) Gran Doll (action platformer)
10) Hot Blooded Family (scrolling beat'em up)
11) Harmful Park (shmup)
12) X2 by Capcom (shmup)
13) Gundam Battle Master 1 & 2 (vs fighting)
14) Mad Stalker

Of course all the other fighters/shmups/arcade ports that are on both ps1 and saturn (like In the Hunt, lol).

There are a bunch of other japanese only ps1 exclusive titles I have but I can't recall their japanese names at the moment.

Zanac X Zanac.

But its price...

It's like $6 to $8 on Japanese PSN, if you use a Japanese PSN card (I recommend japan-codes.com). So is Harmful Park.
