The PlayStation 1 had a ton of great games. But, the RPG genre really took off on this system. Before you scroll down and roll your eyes at the #1 choice, know you can play any of these games and you should have a fantastic experience.
The original PlayStation library has dozens of classics long since forgotten - TechStomper unearths five of these gems which have been lost to time for one reason or another.
Disruptor PS1, a pre Goldeneye console FPS from 1996 (with Command and Conquer type FMV cutscenes) and the first game by a pre Spyro Insomniac Studios directed by Mark Cerny. A good game for its time, and pre Bioshock use of telekinesis type powers. A game sadly almost completely lost to time
I have never even heard of it, so that must be a deep cut. Sounds really interesting and I might dig it out :-)
First one was so good but second one on another level!!!
Still hoping to see a next gen version..
@Cacabunga Yeah, I preferred II for the real-timier combat. I would love to see both remade or remastered.
We need to bring back the golden era of ps1 & ps2 .
We need to see quality games developed with alot of passion to make gamers satisfied .
We need to benefit from new AI technology to bring something new to games something like " nemesis systems " that used in shadow of morder and upgrade it to next level
The economics of games has changed a lot since the PS1 and PS2. As much as I would love a return to those days, it's not not at all likely.
OVERRIDER is a new sci-fi roguelite about hoverboarding and smashing robots, and there's a Kickstarter campaign to help get it funded.
Cinnabunny and Time is Honey are currently up to be crowdfunded on Kickstarter right now. They're both adorable.
I think that Darkstone song is going to haunt my dreams.
Suikoden 1&2 were life.
I was an N64 kid, so I didn't play a lot of these until years after release, but the original Playstation was definitely the best jrpg platform since the SNES.
Diablo, Darkstone and FF5 being in the list but not Thousand Arms and Persona? OK. Also no Koudelka and Guardians Crusade :(
Please make list for PS4 as well as I really struggle with JRPGs on this console. Gone are PS2 glory days of RPGs.
