Carl Williams writes, "The Sega Dreamcast and Sony Playstation both have, or are have in development, flash cart type devices. For those that do not know what a flash cart is, these are devices that have some memory onboard and hold homebrew games. The flash cart is seen by the console as it would see whatever format it uses, usually with a menu system of some sort for multiple games on one cartridge. The Sega Saturn, notoriously hard to program for and emulate, is now getting a flash cart of its own, at least one is in development."

The first PlayStation is home to an array of iconic video games that went on to define the sheer significance of this console.
I think from a historical perspective I would change Spyro for Grand Turismo. It's the franchise that made the PS1 look like an absolute unit. Other than that, I can't argue with the rest when it comes to games that defined the PS1.
And to be honest, there should be space for Tekken 3, Wipepout and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in order to round out the PS1 identity as the machine to own at the time.
With Tomb Raider 2, Silent Hill, Symphony of the Night, Tenchu, and Soul Reaver as backup contenders.
:) Flash cart OMG!
I would buy every single Sega Saturn RPG ever made if they would put it on PSN.
I still have my Saturn. It was one of my favorite consoles. Sad it died so soon. It did have a few gems.
You can get a Saturn emulator and run Panzer Dragoon Saga decently if you have a good GPU+CPU and lots of RAM. It's not perfect but its playable.
Great comments everyone. I remeberer having panzer dragon and the very first time I ever got to play quake 1. Even tho the graphics werent that great it was still an amazing game. Only thing I had to compare it to was doom 64 lol. I also remember really loving the 6 button layout on front. Worked great for pulling off akumas hell murder. Heck I ever remember spending long nights with friends until I perfected it... jab jab forward short fierce :) sadly I traded it in for a ps1 and have been sony since.
Its not a bad idea but I actually have a sega Saturn modded for back ups. Ill check this out.
