After Steve decided to reminisce (something I didn't know he could do) about PS2 games, it seemed only fair to also look at the PS1 to see which games need to come back. Here is a completely non-definitive list of games I thought of in a 15-minute period.
I've put PS4 in the headline for SEO purposes, but many of these could feasibly arrive on Xbox One, PC and Nintendo platforms. I love all platforms equally (some of the time).
We all sat there in the late 1990’s with a few friends and a multi-tap, excited to blast our way through aliens or throw an opponent tumbling out of the squared circle. We all played the classics, with cumulative weeks of our lives dedicated to Tekken 3, Crash Team Racing and Worms Armageddon, but it’s …
I had no idea of the rarity of Bishi bashi!
Unholy War was lucky find for me, bundled with a ps1 at a pawn shop
Capcom has some very under-utilized IP's. Leading the pack is Dino Crisis, a title that deserves better and hasn't seen the light of day in sixteen years.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "3D platformers have long been a favourite genre of mine. Growing up on the likes of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon on PS1 means I’ve been conditioned to love the colourful, vibrant worlds and the exploration-based gameplay that often goes with the 3D platformer. In recent generations the genre has stalled, with fewer new releases and publishers unwilling to invest in new titles, and even older mascots falling by the wayside.
Yet thanks to its brilliant backwards-compatibility with PS1 and PSP games, the Vita has become something of a home for the neglected genre, with plenty of classic games playable (especially thanks to HD Remasters from the PS2 era) and a few brilliant modern titles thrown into the mix too."

Pandemonium. Tomba. Parasite Eve. Legend of Dragoon. Ape Escape. I mean, the list could go on forever.
