Darklight Conflict, now theres a blast from the past. I remember trying to rewrite the PC level scripts to get it working on the PS1. Right nightmare that was.

And to add to the discussion the follow are faves of mine

'Z'
Firo and Klawd

I'm probably going to be the first and only to say, Kings Field I and II.

I enjoyed both of them.

And 90% of the people I talk to have never head of it.

Gotta give a shout out for powerslave - its a first person shooter that takes place in Egypt..pretty uncommon on the playstation.. I've heard the saturn version blows..

If your into old school fps's with a twist, you will dig this game...if you can find it.

[TurboGenesis]

I enjoyed:

Adventures of Lomax (From the folks who did Flink)
Motor Toon Grand Prix (From the folks who did Gran Turismo)
Poy Poy (great multiplayer fun)

Seconds for:
Qix Neo (Great for Qix - loading times ugh)
In the Hunt (a little slow but still good)

I'll back up your King's Field. It's a great series, but most people, out of the already small group of people who are actually aware of the existence of the series, just don't "get" the games, because they're expecting some sort of traditional RPG or a Zelda-style adventure game. King's Field is a whole 'nother kind of beast, so it takes a lot to adapt to the gameplay and learn to enjoy it. I own all four of the main series - the two US releases on PlayStation, King's Field 4 on PS2, and I even imported the original that never got a US release. I still have to get the PSP games eventually, though.

From Software's other King's Field style games are very good too. Shadow Tower is probably even less known than King's Field, and it's even less appreciated too.

I prefer to watch the games rather than play them myself, though. First-person games tend to make me feel a bit disoriented and sick.

Another vote for the King's Field series and Shadow Tower! I always felt bad whenever I saw Shadow Tower in a "Worst PSX Games" list -- obviously the people didn't play the game right. "I tried to kill everything in sight, my sword broke, and I dies. It can't be my fault, so this game sux!"

Herc's Adventure
Koudelka
and without a doubt...
Incredible Crisis

[xtremegamer]

Not really a hidden gem, but this game just Rocks!

Rival Schools

Never played it before this past weekend when I picked it up at the local pawn shop. By far one of the best fighters I've ever played.

[Snapple]

Azure Dreams is one of my favorite PS1 sleepers. Wasn't that popular, but a good RPG.

[Gapporin]

Battle Hunter
Cleopatra's Fortune
Qix Neo
Shadow Madness
Top Shop

All of these are insanely fun.

[LAGO]

Brigandine

[theshizzle3000]

Battle Hunter
Cleopatra's Fortune
Qix Neo
Shadow Madness
Top Shop

All of these are insanely fun.

I have a sealed copy of Top Shop and have been contimplating opening it. Do you think its a good idea is it worth opening.

I thought Alien trilogy was a under appreciated gem. It had it all level design ,story,sound ,graphics and great gameplay. One of my all time favorites to this day.
