PSX games I should d/l or play - Nov 25, 2006 19:44
Note to all: I' m free! My examinations are OVER, and I' ve been trigger-happy for some gaming!

I' m cracking open both my Xbox and PS1 from dormancy...the Xbox is more or less done. Game-wise I mean. I' m paying $15 a shot for even premium games since 360 came out...

Right now, I' m d/l lots of PS1 games for the heck of it! PSP owners aren' t going to play them in a couple of months time, so might as well go retro first!

So far on d/l list:

1) Bloody Roar 1 (I like it, okay?)[Why the FUCK is wrong with it' s d/l page?!]
2) Legend of Dragoon
3) Bushido Blade
4) Resi Evil (?)
Added
5) Valkryie Profile (saw it on PSP, looks fun!)
6) Castlevania Symphony of the Night
7) Maybe Chrono Cross/Trigger
8) Metal Gear Solid
9) Mortal Kombat XD
10) Marvel vs Capcom
11) Maybe Suikoden

That' s about it (as far as what is on emuparadise.org) I' m pissed that BR1 doesn' t seem to be downloadble -.-

Going to get Flashget, prolly won' t be able to d/l them all the way...

Uh, that' s about it XD Still figuring which worth it...

Suggestions?

What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

ACtion

Metal gear
resident evil series
parasite eve

Whoa! Majik, have you really played and finished all those games?

Well, most of my reccomendations have already been mentioned in the various posts already, but i think these haven' t been mentioned:

Broken Sword 1 & 2
Little Big Adventure
Heart of Darkness... (I think that was its name)

*Fixed*

She already mentioned that she wanted to play Bloody Roar. Perhaps you missed it, perhaps you just suck at beat-em-ups?!

Bushido Blade and it' s sequel were 2 of the greatest Playstation games. Everybody needs to play them!

Tomba

(Say what you want, I don' t care)
Spyro the Dragon
Spyro 2
Spyro 3

MGS: VR Missions
(Pick this one up for sure. Nobody has played it because it isn' t ps2 backwards compatble.[:' (] & that makes my cry!)

DL Legend of Dragoon if you can find it. A real copy is hard to find, I don' t know how availiable it is via a Bittorrent client or other P2P thingy.

I' m glad I wasn' t imagining things, yet sad I didn' t find it easy due to my butt-kicking skills.

I' ve got Bloody Roar 2 already

Have FFVIII and FFIX, never fully played them finish, but I' m starting with FFVII first before going back to them.

Have Vagrant Story, personally I don' t really like it. Maybe it' s only the initial levels, but MAN are they linear. The Weapon proficiency and combo style are fun, but the pause in targeting your enemy seems too easy =/

I have two Spyro games, can' t remember exactly which (one is Year of the Dragon)

Have Nightmare Creatures 2. Awesome graphics when I first saw it, great atmosphere. Yet again, never really finished it XD I' m not really in the mood for survival horror lately anyway...

Definitely looking to get the Oddworld stuff (just played Stranger' s Wrath on the Xbox. Best shooter I' ve ever played!)

Finished Klonoa before, fun bosses that one...

Thanks for the suggestions Now I just have to actually source ' em out and d/l them too

I' m against piracy also,but we' re talking about games 2 gen behind,some can' t be find in any store close to our home anymore.
And some not even in the country expect if you buy from someone and those disc is very unreliable.

So yes,im for piracy when it comes to old titles that we need to save for the future,a old game shouldnt be restrickted to be bought over internet from some other country for the double price when it can be copied for 1-5 dollars.

Seriously.

I was starting to wonder where you' d gotten off to.

Alright chillun. Let' s settle this once and for all. Quez, you' re going to hell because you' re a pirate. Evil Man, you' re going to hell for being pretentious.

Agreed? Good. Moving on.

all of the PS1 versions are great, just don' t touch the PS2 games if your life depended on it. Made by the same folks that turned out classics like the " A Bug' s Life" game.

You seriously need to at least try Tomba though. It' s platforming at its best, & instead of having an inventory, he just eats, & regurgitates what he needs, including live animals.

Don' t quote Evil Man, or at least give me a warning. I put him on Block so I wouldn' t have to smell the stink of any hot wind coming from him.

Anyway, I successfully d/l Bloody Roar 1, and burned it with CloneCD. Works like a charm!

Next candidate: Valkryie Profile prolly, I' m on an RPG kick.

Depends, I' m still going through FFVII, but I don' t want to jump straight to either FFVIII or FFIX for the next JRPG.

The problem is the amount of d/l needed for those damn 3 disc plus JRPGs!

So I may aim for a smaller, one disc game. Maybe a fighting game? Bushido Blade maybe...

Ever played Soul Blade? (Soul Edge in some countries) It' s a great fighting game that isn' t quite as recognised as its sequel, Soul Calibur but still well worth a play all the same.

And the verdict issss...

Castlevania; Symphony of the Night

The reason being playing something 2D would be fun, and my GBA is dull.

A game that I don' t think has been mentioned is " Apocalypse"
Starring Bruce Willis!
Ok, you' re probably getting very, very low expectations now but I swear I loved the game. It was one of the games I had most fun with on the PS1. It' s just pure running and gunning with funny lines from Bruce Willis.
" Kill em' all and let God sort them out"
It' s better than his movies
The controls are slightly different from normal action games but it really works well and is second nature after a few minutes.
Damn I love that game, gonna play it now .
Ace Combat and Time Crisis are good too.

Oh, yeah! I remeber that. I liked it to.

Did Bruce actually voice though, or was it like in some games where they just lend their faces?

I dunno. It sounds just like him though and that' s good enough for me.
He had an orange suit when he was at the David Letterman show once. Orange... and no hair, and his cool manners. Really weird.



...orange...
