What do you call it when you take a fighting game, slap an RPG on it, give it a healthy dose of anger-inducing mini games, and release it to the public? Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring.
The PlayStation (PSX or PS1) was home to a whole load of amazing games. The system is arguably the best console for RPGs and helped revolutionize sports and shooter games. With such an influx of overwhelmingly great PS1 RPGs and other games, it’s only natural that a few would slip through the cracks.
I thought Dune 2000 was something I made up in my head. I used to ask my brothers about the sand level in Command and Conquer. The interface is like dead-on.
I’m fairly certain Parasite Eve was not underrated. The game got a greatest hits release and is pretty fondly remembered to this day.
The Quest Mode for Ehrgeiz is phenomenal. Really good looking ps1 game that benefits from modern emulation.
I find it weird Um Jammer Lammy being so unknown when I think it's much better than Parappa. It even has a secret second half which you play as Parappa himself, with rap versions of the songs.
However, while Parappa is famous and his first game even got a remaster, Um Jammer Lammy stays forgotten.
Besides offering plenty of great RPGs throughout the decades, Square also dabbled in publishing a handful of fighting games back in the day. So, let's take a look back at these hidden gems and see if they're still in fighting shape.
Tobal + acid was a great night. Ehrgeiz looked really good but it wasn't very fun. I'd absolutely love a new Bushido Blade or Kengo.

God i loved this game growing up. A cool unique cast. It was funny how godhand was a son of heihachi. The ff7 unlockables were the icing on the cake. Casting meteor with cloud or sephiroth was awesome. I would love a remake to this game. I would love to see the bouncer remade or remastered .
I remember playing only the demo, and when I saw Cloud for the first time, those were the days.
Django had a skin that made hhim look like Nanaki....
I recall Sephirothhs alt skin was just him shirtless and l'd make him do the beach sports run over and over, lol
I own the game grabbed it day one its a great game
I used to play the crap with me and my friends back in the day, man those were the times.
Use to make my friends rage quit, with my Cloud Strife. Crap was to funny.
oh, I loved this one
