I already have these for my PS1

FF7

Breath of fire 3

Wild arms: Second Ignition (2, lol)

Legend of Dragoon

and that's all the really good ones I can remember...

[Argh]

Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat. Rage Racer. The original Resident Evil. X-Com: UFO Defense (believe it or not, the PS1 version didn't suck). Twisted Metal 2(not 1, not 3, not Black or whatever... 2 is one of the finest games ever.

Let's see... what else... oh yeah, Front Mission III, Vandal Heart... PS1 had soooooo many really good games, if you can get past the graphics, which look really dated these days, for the 3D stuff...

[Snipawolf]

Graphics aren't a problem at all, I still play those rpgs up there

[Ishach]

[SpikedHelmet]

A PS2.

[Ishach]

Street Fighter Alpha 3 if you like 2D fighting games.

[Michilus_nimbus]

Terracon, one of the most underrated ps1 games ever.
Nice storyline, epic sized levels which range from damn easy to freakin' hard, and pretty nice graphics for those days.

Also, Medievil rocks hard.

I miss the SNES/PSX era with the golden age of the RPG.

[Strategia]

C&C. Seriously. It's been ported to PS1. (Plus, you have cheats on PS1 5k cash, airstrike, ion cannon and nuke strike. True story. Just too much fun wiping out entire bases with a mass WMD strike ^_^)

MoH. The original one. It's history, man! Plus if you have the right unlock codes, you can fight as Churchill, Shakespeare or a Velociraptor in multiplayer. Goodness!

I made a memhack awhile ago...think it got wiped though

[manored]

Sheep, dog and wolf! One of the funniest logical thinking games I ever played! (explaining quickly, you are a wolf inside a reality show where you must steal all sheeps from a dog, but only one per stage...)

[pintle]

Tekken 3 (can't believe nobody said that already)

G-Police 1 and 2

Colony Wars: Vengence (space combat with 0 inertia physics, although some sections of the game include atmospheric flight

If you like Twisted Metal 2, try Vigilante 8: 2nd offence. Its kinda a 'station port of Interstate '76, which is easily one of the best games EVAR.

MDK (1 or 2)

Crash Team Racing (mario kart but with crash banicoot and cool powerslide/air-time boost combos, really underrated game imo)

Tenhcu: Stealth Assasins (so much better than Metal Gear Solid imo)

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (The last decent TH game imo, in this one you can't revert to manual/no silly manual tricks, so lines/combos/gaps are much more important to getting a decent score, compared to just manualling for ever..... sorry bit of pet hate going on there)

Find all the games you can that Namco made, cos they have never made a bad game in my experience

[Foxomaniac]

Twisted Metal 2 - I also like 3.

Vigilante 8 - Both are great.

Vanguard Bandits - Great TBS.

Silent Bomber - Lots of explosive fun and a cool multiplayer mode!

Crash team racing as - fun .

Legend of Mana - Excellent RPG IMO - underrated-ish .

Chrono Cross - Nice RPG.

Sheep dog and wolf - Fun AND Funny, I've never seen a game like it before .

Ghoul Panic - Shooter-game, pretty fun.

Vagrant Story - Deep, underrated RPG - a bit frustrating at times though.

Warhammer : shadow of the horned rat - Good Tactical game, frustiatingly hard at times.

Medievil : Fun hack and slash - First one is better than 2nd IMO.

Alright, I'm gunna need a note pad or something, this is a lot of good games

[rcdraco]

Friggin Team Buddies come on.

You get Arcade Top Down shooter, RTS / micro management 4 guys tops, get boxes put em on stacking pad, make guns, guys, weapons, tanks. And the graphics are amazing, sound isn't bad either, EU version has backtalk from guys, USA version has it toned down. Still funny. I wish I had it..... Great party game up to 4 players. VERY LOW VIDEO LAG.

Einhandar side-scrolling shooter with good graphics and weapon stealing.

Warzone 2100 Good RTS design your units, kinda like in my mods.

Any Crash Bandicoot game, the racing game was nice too. Crash Bash for the win. I never played the first Crash Bandicoot game.

Bomberman was fun. Abuse on the minecart level, run guys over, back and forth.

Guardians Crusade, sadly the ONLY rpg I ever liked. You get baby dragon and he transforms during battle, and toys help you fight!!!! {Kingdom Hearts is Action game }

Grand Turismo series was great, second one was still on PSX I think.

Wargames Defcon 1 I think it was called, RTS where you drive your units, usually 3 per level, has Coop and decent models. U DRIVE UR MECH.

Any of the Gex Games, nice uhhh puzzle game? Action? Crazy Game. Very Funny.

Armored Core Series, Master of Arena was my favorite, had lots of guns and 2 Discs of doom.

Team Buddies was the best though, RTS plus Shooter plus Multiplayer minus lag plus awesome visuals.

Mostly focusses on underdogs since I'm sure you can easily find a list of the "big ones".
