  • i loved Nightmare Creatures, It was my very first played game of Horror, With ‘Kalisto Entertainment’ Gone, the IP has never been touched since 2003 and the franchise is Dead which is really sad :(

    Crash Bandicoot is my top fave franchise questions ask, the 2nd game is my very first played game every played on the Brand of PlayStation, and since then i’ve played every Crash game that is ever released in UK in all Platforms, Fans everywhere are dying of want Sony to purchase the Rights of Crash which is ALSO what i want to happen, to not only have Crash become Sony Mascot again, but also allow talont developers such as Naughty Dog work on it again like old times :)

    Spyro is the exact same thing i have for Crash :)

    Alien Trilogy was my very first played ‘First Person Shooter’ of all time and loved it so much.

    Same as Oddworld Series, Croc series, Klonoa Series, PaRappa series, Medievil Series, Command & Conquer Series + Dune 2000, Tekken series, Medal of honor Series, Ghost in the Shell, Pac- Man world, Overboard, Kurushi 1 & final, Doom + Final Doom, Rugrats Search for reptar, Bust A Move series, Fantastic Four, Time Crisis, Final fantasy 7 and Tomb raider Series that are my loved Franchises :)

  • Most people would probably choose mainstream classic games like FFVII, Metal Gear Peace Walker and Crash Banditcoot.
    However, my personal favorite and MANY others dat are begging Naughty Dogs to make is the Jak franchise !!!
    Jak and Daxter 5 please! Naughty God make it happen! And yes, animated games can sell !!! Just look at Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart 8.
    WE NEED MOAR ANIMATED GAMES! Jak 5 ! Jak 5 ! Jak 5!

  • First two PS1 games I ever played, remain today in my top 5 favourite games of all time.

    Resident Evil 2 ‘ and Metal Gear Solid.

  • 1º Suikoden 2
    2º FFVII (but i put medievil 2 because is less obvious)

    After that, Ape Escape

  • Tenchu 2 for me. Countless hours fighting the camera and laughing like crazy.

  • Everyone vote for Legend of Dragoon so they can make a sequel. They’re already remaking FFVII so voting for it is unnecessary.

  • MegaMan X5: I just love that saga, but X5 is my favorite. I still have the hope for a new MegaMan X game, or at least a collection ;)

  • Metal Gear Solid (the best) and Soul Reaver ^^

  • I would buy 90% of these games if they were all available as PS1 Classics on my PS3 and Vita. Just saying. Hint hint!

    I know Lunar would never win, but damn I loved those games.

  • Suikoden 1 and 2 hands down

  • GT1, GT2 hands Down best games on the still great PS1. These games stood out in a sea of JRPG turn based, crap. If you wanted a game that took skill (truely) the GT series on PS1 delivered. Last night I poped in my GT1 disc and started a new game. I still love playing these GT games.

  • Why can I only choose two? That’s not fair :(

    I ended up going with Xenogears and Parasite Eve. FFT and SotN would’ve been the next two, with several more close behind. Bah.

    • While we’re on the subject… why are so many of these candidates NOT available as PS1 classics. Lookin’ at you Azure Dreams. :(

  • Mine are Metal Gear Solid 1, and Final Fantasy 7, both have such beautiful music and storytelling, that to this day can still bring a tear to your eyes! :’)

  • FFVII by far the greatest for me. So much drama and action it made the characters come to life and it was the first death of a loved character and I wanted so much to bring her back to life. I had hoped the future games would have found a way to bring her back but it never happened.

  • Resident Evil 3:Nemesis & Dino Crisis 1

  • Cash Bandicoot 2 & Oddworld: Abes Exoddus.

  • So many good ones but I went with Final Fantasy Tactics and Star Ocean The Second Story. The opening cinematic of FF VIII almost made me pick that.
    A nice present would be all the games above not on the psn like legend of legaia and jade cocoon to be released and playable on the ps4

  • I chose Crash Bandicoot. It was one of my first memories i have of actually playing PlayStation. I remember back in my PS1 days all the fun i used the have playing that game for hours at a time. I even kept this disc and ps1 memory cards just so i could keep playing it on my ps2. I would love to see a ps4 remaster or even a reboot of the whole series (the racing and the platformer) It was a tough tie for me between ratchet and clank and Jak and Daxter. Those were also two of the greatest games playstation ever made. Thats easily my top 3 right there. But since we’re narrowing it down to 1 im going to have to go with crash hands down.

  • Final Fantasy VII & VIII !!!

  • Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy VIII have my votes! Both games are important to me and helped to shape my preferences in video games.

  • DEFINETLY THE LEGEND OF DRAGOON !!!! PLEASE MAKE REMAKE ON PS4 !!!!

  • Thanx for the two votes options, FFVII and Metal Gear Solid two of the best games of all times.

  • So many good games, its hard to chose.

  • My favourite PSOne game is tied between 4.
    FFIX, this deserves a remastered edition
    Tales Of Destiny, an amazing game
    Clock Tower and Clock Tower 2: Struggle Within, both super awesome game titles that were completely forgotten by Sony
    Rhapsody A Musical Adventure, a really good game overall

  • Bushido Blade is on there but not Bushido Blade 2? For shame…

    FFVII and Bushido Blade 2 get my votes but there are plenty of others worth mentioning!

    • My best playstation one memory is of playing Bushido Blade 2 for hours on end in college, with me or my friend picking the prince and trying to get one-hit kills with the frog that he threw… Oh the memories!

  • The lack of Star Wars games disturbs me on this list…lol But yeah, my favorite PS1 memory comes from Star Wars: Episode 1 Jedi Power Battles! That game was so much fun to jump into with my older brother. Check it out! I wish it was available on PSN, but I still have my disc sitting in a mostly shattered plastic case! :D

  • Bushido Blade and Tenchu Stealth Assassins for me…

    How is it that a) neither of these games is a ps1 classic available on the ps3 and/or vita and b) doesn’t have a current-gen sequel or reboot in the works? Or both? With all love and respect, someone talk to somebody about that please and thanks! :)

  • I know Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy 7 are the most predictable answer, but they were part of the few games I made other people look at, even though they didn’t play video games. I remember thinking my brother was an idiot because he didn’t think FF7 was as amazing as I thought it was.

    On a side note, I think were the Playstation shined was Full Motion Video. Krazy Ivan and Off-World Interceptor Extreme, were some very fun games.

    Thanks for 20 years.

  • Lots of great games on here… but since there can only be two… Castlevania: SoTN & Metal Gear Solid were the only choices.

  • Why can’t I just vote for Suikoden II twice?

  • Crash 1 and Crash Team Racing obviously :)

  • Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, by far.

  • So many good games but I thought back on the times I played these games and the overall feelings they gave me. I settled down on FFVII and Parasite Eve, wanted to throw in Siphon filter also but….. Only 2 votes……. Why in the hell haven’t siphon filter and parasite eve had a refresh on the newer consoles yet. I have to believe they’d make enough cash to be worth the investment.

    • Last time Nomura tried to make a sequel to Parasite Eve we got 3rd Birthday which was just awful and probably worse than getting no sequel at all

  • Wow…this was tough. I came down to Resident Evil or MGS. Gonna have to give it to MGS.
    SNAAAAAAKE!

  • Man I totally forgot about Diablo…. so much time invested in that baby.

  • legacy of kain both blood omen and soul reaver

  • Castlevania Symphony of the Night!!!

  • I’m almost crying remembering such great games. My personal favorites goes to Breath of Fire 3 & 4, Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Wild Arms, Legend of Dragoon and Valkyrie Profile. What an epoch for Squaresoft…
    So many great IPs that just faded… I wish they could come back in some way.

  • Dino Crisis 2 and Ape Escape

  • Rival school :3

  • Anyone remember road rash quality game

  • Fear Effect 1 & 2. Please take this under the consideration by remaking or remastering Fear Effect series for PlayStation 4!!! Thank you kindly.

  • Hey Sid, if you see “Brigandine: Legend of Forsena” in the Other category, that was me.

    I’m still sad it’s not on the main list. And that’s it not been released on PSN. Make it happen Sid!

  • That was the easiest decision of my life. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night no question for me. That game holds up and I play it about once a year. There are some newer games but only time will tell how well they hold up.

  • Chrono Cross and Xenogears won it for me. Final Fantasy Tactics and Star Ocean were definitely close though.

  • SOUL REAVER (Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver).

  • Where is Chrono Cross.

    • Chrono Cross is there. But there’s way too many great games for me to select the best two…(and some I still need to catch up on)

  • just crash and persona and twisted metal :((
    they are the most exiting games on past :(

  • Final fantasy tactics and Castlevania sotn! Thought about suikoden 2 but left FFT in! So tough!
