I was playing Resident Evil 3 yesterday.

It's so good nemesis and having to make quick decisions used to give me fucking nightmares

I hadn't played it for years but I found the game in a box of others so I stuck it in the console and had an hour of fun.

 

[Backburner]

@Silo You listed some fun games.
The first three on my list are better than the others, but otherwise unordered.

• Silent Hill
• Final Fantasy VIII
• Xenogears
• Resident Evil 1
• Crash Trilogy
• Final Fantasy VII
• Spyro 1
• King's Field 2
• Gran Turismo
• And finally Parasite Eve, although I did find it to be overhyped.

I tried played Metal Gear Solid but couldn't get into it. Special mention for LSD: Dream Emulator.

3. Parasite Eve
View attachment 330270
Released: 03-29-1998


Parasite Eve, oh Parasite Eve. This is one of those games I simply saw the intro to and then couldn’t but the controller down for like two months straight.


Unlike most of the other games on my list this game had some great graphics, the cinematics were unbelievable the first time around. This game had a great feel. The action and fighting mechanics were almost addictive. Most definitely was this game not a chore, at least in my opinion. Finding new weapons with better stats was what this game was all about. That and you could do the same for defense statistics which came in the form of bullet proof vests. You could dodge and shoot and fight a wide variety of unique bosses. It was an all-around good game.View attachment 330271

Now…


I don’t know if it was because I was lazy, or I just didn’t have the attention span to care, but for the life of me I have no idea what this game is actually about. I mean, there was a giant blob, and it would manipulate the DNA of things it came in contact with creating a terrible monster in its wake that you usually had to deal with. You were a New York City police officer and you had a six day span to try to stop some evil woman who was causing the infection and controlling the blob? I just remember there was a lot of dialog between characters and I would just spam the action button to get it over with, I just wanted to shoot things and upgrade my gun!


2. Tenchu Stealth Assassins
View attachment 330273 View attachment 330272
Released: 02-26-1998


Tenchu could have easily been my favorite game on this list. I still own an original copy with case all in mint condition. Why? Because it’s awesome that’s why!


In this game you are a ninja (Rikimaru or Ayame) and you must go through each level completing a task, now you can go quietly and stealthy and get your task done in a quick and efficient manner or you could go on a killing spree showering blood all over everything in your wake. If you are familiar with Kill Bill and the scene where Uma Thurman’s character fights the crazy 88, there is limb loss and blood spraying like a fire hose, all over the place! Now whenever I see an instance in games or movie where someone “shoots blood” everywhere, I reference Kill bill, but when I first saw that scene in the movie I was all “that bitch Tenchued those fools!”


So the violence was super cool and being sneaky and pulling off perfectly timed kills would activate a cinematic kill which there were many of, depending on the angle and timing of the attack.View attachment 330274

How you handled yourself in each level would grant you a special grade and cool items according to that grade.


The levels, music and general atmosphere really gave this game character. I miss playing it often, but it has aged horribly (I do attempt to play it from time to time), but I can’t enjoy it like I used to. I know a remake will never happen as well, so I’ll just hold on to my special memories of this game.

1. Final Fantasy VIII

View attachment 330275 View attachment 330276
Released: 02-11-1999


My favorite PlayStation game. I have owned several copies of this game since I played the crap out of them. This game was massive. Like four disks massive. Because of the graphics, music and shear material it could never be contained on one measly disk.


The protagonist is Squall Leonhart one of many mercenaries being trained at a large school. He has a few close friends and even a developing love interest with his friend Rinoha Heartilly. The few main characters find themselves in the middle of a conflict created by a sorceress named Edea, after defeating Edea they learn she was under mind control by an even more powerful future sorceress named Ultimecia.View attachment 330277


I really enjoyed everything this game had to offer and it was my first real effort at a Final Fantasy title. And what about that card game you could play on the side (Triple Triad)? Pure awesomesauce!


I had a few honorable mentions, but I’m sure if you were there you have played them as much as I have. It was a great time to be involved in video games, so many different and unique games to choose from. Today we have a main flavor (Call of duty, Minecraft, Fortnight) that everyone plays and gets bored of in a few months then moves onto the next flavor. I miss the old days when developers had to be unique and try to get you to buy what they were selling, not following a popularity chart and catering to that. Some people will just never know, but for those of us who do, cheers!


What’s your favorite game on this console? What would your top 10 list be? I would love to hear about it in the comments. Thanks for reading!

[Dante1984]

Fuck PS1 - I used to have a little $$$ corner on that market. Still have one with the Diablo Sticker - feck I loved that game.
I chipped PS's then and cracked and burnt the games. Some where easy some where so difficult it wasn't worth it.

My fav game was Tenchu.

 

[Brazilian Fucktard]

Final Fantasy Tactics was my favorite

 

[Dante1984]

Tenchu was the best, damn brings back memories this thread.

I used to mod PS1 then with soldering chips. Then ripped games and sold them for a decent price.
Same with PC games - used to crack then upload or sell

Been on the scene since BBS of 1980's, C=64

 

[SomePeculiarPotato]

No one’s ever played Circuit Breakers??

 

[D.O.A.]

@McM did you ever try this one from 2001

@McM did you ever try this one from 2001

Not bad, really, never seen. I did search for the huge tank; Shortbull is a fictional one. What for a monster.
But I had no PlayStation ever; around this time I played tanks, etc. in 'Operation Flashpoint' on PC, the very first part of the Arma series.
Or 'Steel Beasts' and 'Steel Fury' but not very much so far I remember.

 

[Gouki]

Loved this game as a kid can't remember much of it i was maybe 4

by far my favourite i would spend hours running around

My dad would always tell me to stop talking when he was raging on this i'd be laughing.
lastly toy story 1 and streetfighter

 

[Robert H.]

I got into video games rather late the GameCube with resident evil 4 was my start 🎮😀

 

[Rabidface]

Syphon filter was a great game. Doom, tekken, metal gear was probably my favourite. I got it chipped so had loads of games, I just can't remember many.

 

[14ZombiE88]

No particular order,
Tekken 1, 2, and 3
Street Fighter Alpha 3

All Resident Evil
All Twisted Metal although 3 was my favorite
Need for Speed series

I still have my ps1 and ps2 with games and still play them with my kids. We have a game room I built in the basement that has ps1, 2, and 3, Nintendo and Super NES as well as a 64 and a Wii. I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 games between all the systems, I limit the kids time on them though. Don't want them doing nothing but playing games all day.

@McM did you ever try this one from 2001
