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 was gonna say Star Ocean: Second Story, because it's incredible.

But "Second Story R", the recent remake, is incredibly good and clearly made by people who understand and love the original. I'd go so far as to say "objectively superior version."

Even the soundtrack I'd call "enhanced" instead of "changed." I'm continually impressed and loving every minute of it. Especially since I got really stuck on the PS1 version and never beat it.

So here's one I'm not sure I've seen here yet!

Dragon Valor. It was a really neat fantasy beat 'em up by Namco, with some cool ideas and presentation, fun combat, really slick aesthetic, and a Castlevania-esque storyline of playing various characters through a family legacy.

It was really neat. And when I had trouble with a gimmick to beat the final boss, Namco's support email kindly replied to me back in the day with a hint. That was pretty cool. :D
