Someone posted a bit ago about the super station one fpga system and i decided to preorder one. Now I’m curious, what would all of your essentials be for the playstation system?

No need to give me a whole list, but if you can share me some of your standouts and why, id appreciate it.

i’ve played very little of ps1 and didn’t even realize it was a system until the ps2 came out!

I'm curious, why that specific order for Spyro? I'd personally just go in release order, same with the Crash games.

I was ordering based on my favourite, rather than what order to play them. I phrased it ambiguously.

But why that order? Gateway to Glimmer is my favourite because the world feels so much more open with being able to swim, and then (spoilers) especially when you can swim underwater.

I'm actually going to change my ranking and put Spyro to Dragon as second best, because it has some really cool level designs like Treetop Village and the Magic Crafter's homeworld. Also the neh-neh-neh-neh-nehs (blue thieves).

Spyro 3 is also very good too

Ah - in that case, I'm going YoTD, Spyro the Dragon, Ripto's Rage! (I do like 2 a lot, but it's always felt weirdly disjointed to me. Ripto is a very good villain though.)
