 * Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere (PAL).jpg
 * Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere (JP)
 * Flight Simulator/Arcade
 * 3rd installment in the Ace combat series. The export (EU & US) releases lack the animated cutscenes and the story of the JP version. The Japanese release consists of 2 CD's of Ace Combat goodness with animation (and some aircraft design) done by Production IG, multiple characters, branching storylines, 5 different endings and has the only Ace Combat mission that takes place in outer space.
 * 7-1-1-.jpg
 * Ace Combat 2
 * Flight Simulator/Arcade
 * Second installment in the Ace Combat franchise. A huge improvement over Air Combat, especially for what regards graphics and gameplay.
 * Air Combat (PAL).jpeg
 * Air Combat
 * Flight Simulator/Arcade
 * The first Ace Combat game. The name was changed for America and Europe.
 * Alundra (PAL).jpg
 * Alundra
 * Action/Adventure
 * Made by the team who made Landstalker for the Genesis/Mega Drive. Features similar elements of adventure and puzzling. A great 2D Zelda clone with a more mature storyline. Stay away from the sequel though.
 * Ape Escape.jpg
 * Ape Escape
 * Action/Adventure
 * You catch cartoony monkeys, but it's a lot more fun than it sounds. Each of the monkeys have different AI. You also have several gadgets to help you wrangle them all. It's a surprisingly entertaining game, but the sequels are better.

Arc The Lad Collection
 * style="vertical-align: top;"|

RPG
 * style="vertical-align: top;"|

Arc The Lad was Sony's answer to games like Shining Force. Arc the Lad Collection has Arc the Lad I through III as well as a bonus arena battle game. Was brought over to America by Working Designs at the end of the PS1's life, so it can be a bit difficult to find. Some would say this game perfected the Metroidvania/Castleroid style of gameplay. Something's up in Dracula's Castle and it's up to his son Alucard to investigate. Very fun but it gets laughably easy towards the end.
 * Armored Core (PAL).jpg
 * Armored Core
 * Action/Adventure
 * Take your mecha out there to blow up stuff and earn money to build better mecha parts to blow even more stuff. Lots of customization.
 * Armored Core Master of Arena.jpg

 * Armored Core Project Phantasma.jpg
 * Armored Core: Project Phantasma
 * Action/Adventure
 * A sort of expansion to Armored Core, with new parts, new missions, and an Arena system.
 * Army Men Air Attack (PAL).jpg
 * Army Men: Air Attack
 * Action/Adventure
 * Army Men.. yea you know shit's goin' down!
 * Azure Dreams (PAL).jpg
 * Azure Dreams
 * RPG
 * Think Pokémon meets Harvest Moon with dungeon-crawlan. The gameplay follows a simple pattern. Climb the tower as high as you and your monster companions can handle, and escape. You will always stay the same level, but the stronger your monsters become, the higher up the tower you can climb each time and get better loot as a result. Use any resources you've gathered to expand and improve your home and the town around it each day. Boning the neighborhood girls is your side-quest here.
 * Bishi Bashi Special (JP).jpg
 * Bishi Bashi Special
 * Minigames
 * Tons of crazy mini-games, including shaking a can into outer space or disco-dancing to make your afro-hair grow. Awesome.
 * Bloody Roar 2 (PAL).jpg
 * Bloody Roar 2
 * Fighting
 * Fairly typical fighting game except that all characters can transform into a super-powered 'Beast Mode', allowing special attacks. (Note for pirates: it can do widescreen, if you use it on your PSP.)
 * Brave Fencer Musashi (PAL).jpg
 * Brave Fencer Musashi
 * Action/Adventure
 * An Action/Adventure game with RPG elements. Has a unique premise that lets you learn the moves of your enemies (but you can only use one at a time) in order to solve puzzles, gain different attributes, or tear through enemies with ease. You also learn battle techniques (you can always use all of these that you've learned) from people you save throughout the game. There are also in-game action figures to collect.
 * Breath of Fire 3 (PAL).jpg
 * Breath of Fire 3
 * RPG
 * The third in the solid (and now dead) RPG series from Capcom. You can pick up and play this even if you never played 1 or 2. A little slow paced, but if you like classic RPGs and dragons, this might be the game for you. Later in the game you can "splice" your own dragon creations for battle.
 * Breath of Fire 4 (PAL.jpg
 * Breath of Fire 4
 * RPG
 * Last of the traditional BoF games. You'll find it has a little better pacing than BoF3, and the Fou-Lu missions are a blast. Made on the same game engine as 3, so if you hated that, don't bother with this.
 * Bushido Blade.jpg
 * Bushido Blade
 * Fighting
 * An attempt at creating a sword fighting sim. Does fairly well, it veers from traditional fighters in that many attacks are one hit kills. You can also cripple your opponent by attacking their arms or legs.
 * Capcom vs. SNK Pro (PAL).jpg
 * Capcom vs. SNK Pro
 * Fighting
 * Created by Capcom, a 4 button fighting game where characters from both companies duke it out, has an exceptional soundtrack, and you can use the "original" bgm for some characters like the Art of Fighting crew or Fatal Fury, same on the Capcom side. A must try if you haven't yet.

 * Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
 * Platformer

First game in the Castlevania series to drop the run'n'whip and copy Metroid instead. Digimon World was an extremely underrated game of its time. Essentially, the game amounted to Tamagotchi with a lot of exploration. The "Digimon World" was a huge land with tons of secrets. The goal of the game was to recruit Digimon to revive File City. Although a bit unforgivingly difficult at first, once you started recruiting some Digimon, the game was extremely addicting.
 * Chocobo Racing (PAL).jpg
 * Chocobo Racing

 * This game was a shameless advertisement for Chocobo's Dungeon 2, but it is surprisingly fun for a knock-off kart racer.
 * Chocobo's Dungeon 2.jpg
 * Chocobo's Dungeon 2
 * RPG
 * Chocobo's Dungeon 2 is a surprisingly decent roguelike. You traverse dungeons, find items to increase your strength, and magic books to cast spells. The game can get a little repetitive, but trudging through the dungeons to get to the bosses is also mildly addicting.
 * Chrono Cross.jpg
 * Chrono Cross
 * RPG
 * There is a very mixed reception to this game from fans of Chrono Trigger. The storyline is sadly quite convoluted and absurd. There are also several arguably unnecessary characters. On the other hand, there are also very charming characters. The gameplay features a lot of things meant to relieve the tediousness of your average role playing games. There is virtually no grinding in this game, for instance, as characters don't really level up in typical fashion.

 * Colony Wars
 * Other
 * Hop into the cockpit as you wage war against the savage Earth Empire and its Colonial Navy, and stop its regime of oppression, as a pilot of the League of Free Worlds in this epic two-disc space shooter. With over 70 missions, multiple mission paths and endings, there are so many ways the war can turn: each mission can make a difference.
 * Colony Wars Vengeance.jpg
 * Colony Wars: Vengeance
 * Other
 * Follow the story of Mertens, a pilot in the Colonial Navy, during his struggle against the League of Free Worlds, in this sequel to the first Colony Wars game. With craft upgrades and ground-based missions, Colony Wars: Vengeance adds more variety to the Colony Wars game series.

The two PS1 sequels are more like traditional RPGs. Not as good as this one, but worth checking out if you're a Digimon fan. Hogs of War is sort of like Worms, albeit in 3D. It is a pretty funny game. The pigs all have silly names and voices. You can play as pigs from an assortment of different nations. Over the course of the game, you can also customize how you would like to improve your squadron of swine.
 * Dino Crisis (PAL).jpg
 * Dino Crisis
 * Survival Horror
 * An interesting twist on the survival horror genre from Capcom. Resident Evil + Dinosaurs = Profit. A great game, at least on par with RE1.
 * Driver (PAL).jpg
 * Driver
 * Racing
 * Fantastic driving (duh) game, focuses more on dramatic inner city getaways/pursuits than simple racing. This game is probably the closest you'll get to recreating the awesomeness of that one chase scene from Bullitt. PROTIP: Get the PC version if you can, it looks much better. Sequels went downhill fast!

 * 254px-Elemental_Gearbolt.jpg
 * Elemental Gearbolt
 * Light Gun/RPG
 * One of the most overlooked games on the PS1. A light gun game set in a fantasy/steampunkish world. Great visuals,well animated cutscenes, tight gameplay, and a system that allows you to level up using your end level score.
 * Ffviibox.jpg
 * Final Fantasy 7
 * RPG
 * Final Fantasy set in a world of magic and technology, where you play as a group of rebels against an evil corporation. Pretty good story with a few twists, bad 3D, and a system similar to FFVI's Espers.
 * Final Fantasy 8 ntsc-front.jpg
 * Final Fantasy 8
 * RPG
 * Final Fantasy with a great emphasis on love aspect of the story, immersive world, all characters likable except for the main two. Junction system and anti-grind level scaling are like-dislike aspects.
 * Ffixbox.jpg
 * Final Fantasy 9
 * RPG
 * A back-to-the-roots Final Fantasy, returning to a medieval world with a lighthearted protagonist. Features less character customization but more specialization and a more fantastical style.
 * FFAnthology.jpg
 * Final Fantasy Anthology
 * RPG
 * A collection of Final Fantasy V and VI with some new features and cutscenes. Was the first time V released in the USA with an authentic translation.
 * FFChron.jpg
 * Final Fantasy Chronicles
 * RPG
 * A collection of Final Fantasy IV and Chrono Trigger ome new features and cutscenes. Get ready for shitty, 15-second-loading-times for battles in Chrono Trigger. The DS version is pretty much the PSX version with instant load times and a few new features, so that is the recommended choice if you're going to play CT. However, this is probably the best release of FF4 (other than the remake on the DS, unless you can't tolerate blocky 3D).
 * Final Fantasy Origins -U--front.jpg
 * Final Fantasy Origins
 * RPG
 * A collection of Final Fantasy I and II. Has redone graphics and some new features.

 * A story of politics, religions, class and gods, told by an old historian, wrapped around deep tactical gameplay, a varied class system, and some very funny names. Ported to PSP.
 * Front Mission 3.jpg
 * Front Mission 3
 * Strategy
 * Futuristic robot turn based strategy based off the Final Fantasy Tactics engine, but with a faster pace. Each wanzer (robot) can be customized with different parts which can teach the pilot various skills. Two storylines are available, also features a comprehensive in game internet.

 * Action/Adventure
 * Action packed third person shooter. Great 2 player modes including co-op. An absolute must-play in the PS1 library.
 * Gekido.jpg
 * Gekido
 * Action/Beat 'em up
 * A beat 'em up with a lot of playable characters in the style of Power Stone, can be played by 2 to 4 players, it's a full 3d game and looks very nice despite being on the PS1, story mode on the game is also well done, you also have paths to choose that lead to new unlockable characters and so, great game to play with bro's.
 * Ghost.jpg
 * Ghost in the Shell
 * Action/Adventure
 * 3rd person action game, you control a Fuchikoma Tank that can even walk on walls, the cutscenes don't fuck around with the gameplay (you can just skip them if they annoy you) and it varies from explore/kill to meeting requirements as kill X targets in X time, or Rail shooting missions
 * Gradius_gaiden-cover.jpg

You do still get to watch him die in many grisly and beautifully animated ways, though.

Sequel on Wii sometime 2010. Made by Capcom, quite possibly the best manga-based fightan of all time. Based on the Stardust Crusaders arc from the manga and features interesting fighting mechanics. Extremely combo heavy. A better version is available on Dreamcast. Play as a weird looking rabbit thing wearing a Pac-Man hat. Jump around, collect shit, and get to the end of the level. It's a very generic platformer but the storyline has a lot of heart.

Updated on wii. The next chapter in the Legacy of Kain saga. This time you play as Raziel, one of Kain's followers who is betrayed by his master. It's also in full 3D now. As usual, great storyline and voice acting.
 * 197752_42404_front.jpg
 * Koudelka
 * RPG/Horror
 * Prequel to the Shadow Hearts series. Combines horror, RPG, and strategy. Combat is quite unrefined, but the game has good atmosphere and is worth a shot if you're a Shadow Hearts fan or looking for something different from your average fantasy or sci-fi RPG.
 * Legacyofkainblood.jpg
 * Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen
 * Action/Adventure/Being a Badass
 * A more story-focused 2D Zelda-clone. You play as Kain, a knight turned into a vampire, and travel the lands of Nosgoth in search for vengeance. Great storyline, and the first in the Legacy of Kain series.

Second Opinion: You don't have to grind at ALL in this game - it's just going to be challenging. You grind in this game if you're too pussy to learn how to conserve MP for the boss. Bosses level up with you, so grinding won't help you much for those, except for the new moves you might know at a higher level. A port/remake of the SNES game. Despite being called "Limited Edition" it's easier to find than the SNES version

 * Megamanlegends.jpg
 * Mega Man Legends
 * Action/Adventure
 * Both Legends and its sequel are truly underrated gems of the Playstation 1 era. In these games, you explore ruins, fight some pretty epic bosses, and obtain a plethora of different weapons in a 3D environment. Also on N64.
 * Mega Man Legends 2 ntsc-front.jpg
 * Mega Man Legends 2
 * Action/Adventure
 * Megaman Legends 2 is like its predecessor, but the game's world is not confined to a single island like in the first Legends title. I actually think Legends 2 is a slightly worse game due to having a couple underwater dungeons. On the other hand, the bosses (final boss in particular) are much more satisfying. There are also some cool new things to do, like a rageworthy 100-question quiz.

WARNING: not for people who cannot abide long cutscenes. Updated on Gamecube with amazing graphics and better.. everything.
 * Monsterrancher2.jpg
 * Monster Rancher 2
 * RPG
 * Monster Rancher 1 was really an innovative game. Insert CDs, obtain monsters, battle with other ones using the game's unique battle system. Monster Rancher 2 is more or less simply an improvement over that, but it was a notably big improvement. The game looks a lot better, there are tons more monsters, and tons more events as a whole. It is a shame that the series has somewhat gone downhill.

 * Rayman 2: The Great Escape
 * Platformer
 * One of the best 3D platformers of its era, with art that looks like a Pixar film. Also on N64 (with better graphics and framerate) pc (same as before) and Dreamcast (with even better graphics, solid 60fps and downloadable content!)

 * RayStorm
 * Shooter
 * Vertical shump with 3D graphics but played in typical 2D. Has a neat feature where you can lock onto background enemies and destroy them with lasers. Plays well and looks nice, but the screen can get cluttered with the explosion effects.

Also available on the Saturn as Layer Section II in Japan. Has a prequel on the PS1 called RayCrisis that is also good but criminally short.
 * Resident-evil-1-ps1-box-art.jpg
 * Resident Evil
 * Survival Horror
 * The game that made the survival horror genre popular. Kill zombies, solve puzzles and save ammo. Has a superior (and actually scary) remake on GC, recently re-released on the Wii with new control options. There are also numerous versions and ports; the Directors Cut, the Dualshock Edition, the Sega Saturn version, the PC version and the Nintendo DS version.
 * Residentevil2.jpg
 * Resident Evil 2
 * Survival Horror
 * The sequel to RE. More of the same awesomeness as the first. Considered to be one of the strongest entries to the series. A must play if you've played or are going to play RE4, since Leon's origins are in this game. Hell, a must play in any case. Also on N64 (who said you can't fit two cds onto a cart!) dreamcast, pc and gamecube. scenes of the game aslo appear in the wii game, resident evil darkside chonicles
 * Resident evil 3.jpg
 * Resident Evil 3 : Nemesis 
 * Survival Horror
 * A side story of RE2. Plays just like 2, but with new features such as dodging and 180 degree turning (later used in future RE games). Also features everybody's favorite mutant, Nemesis. S.T.A.R.S., motherfucker, S.T.A.R.S! You encounter Nemesis multiple times unexpectedly, making RE3 a true survival horror game. also on dreamcast, gamecube and pc. scenes of the game appear on wii game resident evil umbrella chonicles.

The one on the right is in the American release. 'Nuff Said. An improved version exists on the PSP, but without the nigger upstanding youth of African descent. One of the scariest games ever, even if the PSX graphics kinda sucks compared to today's standards, this game will scare you shitless. Must play for survival horror fans. The (direct) sequel to this game is Silent Hill 3 on the PS2 and PC, another incredibly scary game.
 * Rhapsodypn9.jpg
 * Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure
 * Strategy
 * One of NIS' earlier entries. Features weird attacks, fighting puppets, and is rather easy, but good for beginners to strategy. Like the title says, it's a musical, so expect some (unintentionally?) hilarious singin' and dancin'. The DS remake has streamlined battles and Japanese songs.
 * Ridge Racer Type 4.jpg

 * Risingzan.jpg
 * Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman
 * Action/Adventure
 * Fight demonic ninjas, robots, and other weird Japanese-made shit in a Wild West setting as a cowboy-turned-weeaboo in this fun action game. KATANA FIGHTAN, GUNSLINGAN, and BLOWAN SHIT UP. Also, cowboy hostages in undies.
 * Rivalschools.jpg
 * Rival Schools
 * Fighting
 * Capcom's take on 3D fighting, though it plays more like a 2D fighter with its focus on aerial combat and tag team fighting. That's a plus--the game is more flowing than, say Tekken. Special guests include Sakura of Street Fighter Alpha fame and Fred Willard as Batsu's craaaaazy stepdad. Okay, I made that last one up.
 * Romance6.jpg
 * Romance of the Three Kingdoms VI
 * Strategy
 * Romance of the Three Kingdoms 6 is a strategy game by Koei. You control a warlord. Your goal is to conquer China during the Three Kingdoms era. There is a lot of strategy at play here. You will have to manage diplomacy, warfare, personnel recruitment, and many other things in your bid for supremacy.
 * Saga frontier.jpg
 * Saga Frontier
 * RPG
 * Guide one of seven people through seven different quests and countless worlds in a quest...well, to do a lot of things, really. Highly customizable characters and fast-pace battle system; suffers from high difficulty and the developers running out of time/money at the end.
 * Saiyuki.jpg
 * Saiyuki
 * Strategy
 * Another take on the Journey to the West story (you know, like Dragonball). You (as the human priest/ess Sanzo) and your werecreature buddies travel west, kicking ass as you go. Has a look fairly similar to FFT, though it plays fairly differently. Very uneven learning curve.
 * Simg t og04451n9v8n.jpg
 * Sentinel Returns
 * Other
 * If you understand what the fuck is going on, then all power to you. This thing is simple, yet incredibly fun, and there are over six hundred levels. You enter an alien landscape, and from the eyes of a stationary robot "host", you absorb trees [the local form of energy] and build a linear tower of boulders until you can see eye-to-eye with the titular Sentinel. This succeeds the Atari game "The Sentinel", and features a vast improvement in graphics. Perhaps the most outstanding point in this game is its incredible, thick-as-molasses atmosphere, to which the score, composed by none other than famed director John Carpenter, contributes in no small way. An excellent way to pass long hours when you're too jittery to read Lovecraft but you want something with the same vibe.

Remade and retooled on Wii and PS2. Take the concepts of the first Strider, make Hiryu all-around better, and make the level design cooler. That's Strider 2 in a nutshell, and damn is it good. No relation to those other Strider "sequels".

The game has two disk with Strider and Strider 2, but they're labeled backwards (the Strider 2 game is labeled Strider and vice versa).
 * Suikoden-ps1-cover-front.jpg
 * Suikoden

 * SuikodenII.jpg
 * Suikoden 2

 * The sequel to Suikoden. Play as a solider who ends up leading an entire army against his old allies. Criminally under-rated; is one of the best RPGs on the system. Is considered by most to be the best in the series.

 * Strategy
 * This is actually a sequel to Ogre Battle 64. Plays alot like Final Fantasy Tactics, which is unsurprising since they were made by many of the same people. Despite being released well before FF Tactics in Japan, it came out in America a year after FF Tactics did, resulting it the game being labled a rip off and largely ignored. Do not overlook this game if you are a fan of the Ogre series or SRPGs in general
 * Tail_Concerto_Coverart.png
 * Tail Concerto
 * Action/Adventure
 * You're a dog police officer riding a mecha that shoots bubbles to capture kitten criminals who are causing havoc on the floating islands where the dog and cat people live. I couldn't make this up if I tried. Has some control and camera issues typical of alot of early 3D platformers, but solid plot and gameplay make up for it. Made by the same people who made Silent Bomber and the Dot Hack games.
 * 250px-Todbox.jpeg
 * Tales of Destiny
 * RPG
 * The second game to be released in the Tales series. Builds up on many ideas from Tales of Phantasia such as the Linear Motion Battle System. There is also a reamke and sequel on the PS2. The Tales of Destiny II below is actually the unreleated game Tales of Eternia.
 * TalesofEternia.gif
 * Tales of Destiny II
 * RPG
 * Also known as Tales of Eternia. Not the real sequel to the game above. You, as a guy who's pretty much only interested in eating, go save the world. Has a fast-paced real-time battle system, colorful characters, and a ton of secrets to find. Ported to PSP.
 * Phantasia.jpg
 * Tales of Phantasia
 * RPG
 * Remake of the SNES (And later GBA port) classic. Probably the best version of the game with enhanced audio, graphics, and character sprites, as well as improvements on the battle controls. Only available in Japan, but translations exist (more common to find the game already prepatched)

There are several secrets in this game that allow you to unlock the potential of these assistants.

There is a Saturn version that was only released in Japan. It looks nicer than the PS1 version, but the PS1 version has less slowdown and a few bonus features. Anti-gravity racing game with a neat soundtrack. Protip: get special edition with1 and 2's tracks (UK only).
 * Threads-of-fate-ps1-cover-front.jpg
 * Threads of Fate
 * RPG
 * Action JRPG with a guy that can transform into any monster he kills and a little magic girl.

There are some decent puzzles in some of the dungeons.

 * RPG
 * Your character doesn't like giant robots or fighting. You then proceed to get into a giant robot and fight people. Famous for its convoluted story and esoteric references (like psychology? Like Judeo-christian mysticism? This is the game for you) and equally infamous for its second disk (which basically becomes a visual novel), made after Square decided to devote all their time and resources to FFVIII. The game starts out really, REALLY fucking slow, but gets better the more you play it. WARNING: May make you paranoid about religion.
