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!

Some more I haven't seen mentioned yet, maybe just outside the top 25:

  • Rapid Reload/Gunner's Heaven - Gunstar Heroes-inspired platform shooting chaos
  • Jumping Flash! - Low poly early FPS series with a robot bunny that jumps really high
  • Bishi Bashi Special - Compete with your friends in WarioWare-like rapid-fire three button minigames
  • Vanark - Basically Star Fox 64 for the PS1, but went almost entirely unnoticed
  • The Misadventures of Tron Bonne - Mega Man Legends spinoff starring goofy pirates and their adorable robot henchmen
  • Tail Concerto and Silent Bomber - CyberConnect2's first two games; both are hidden gems of 3D action
  • Gran Turismo 2 Combined Disc - Both discs combined into one oversized disc by Silent, creator of SilentPatch for the Grand Theft Auto games
  • Namco Museum (all six volumes) - I wish later Namco compilations had the first-person museum segments from the PS1 games
  • Tempest X3 - Back in my day, "Jeff Minter" was a euphemism for mind-altering drugs
