Apologies if something like this has already been posted...

Greetings all!
I made this thread to discuss the following question:
"What is your favorite PSone classic?"

To start things off, I would have to say that my favorite is Brave Fencer Musashi by SquareSoft (now Square Enix). I remember having the demo version of this game, until I sold off my PlayStation (still regret that). Up until recently, I bought it off eBay.

Now, fellow posters, what are your favorites?

My favorite PSOne classics:

Digimon World
Final Fantasy IX
Galerians
Gekido
Legend of Dragoon
Metal Gear Solid

I don't have a #1 PSOne favorite title because almost all of the PSOne classics are such amazing games. Even today, some of the best games are on the PSOne.

Those games rocked my childhood; at least until I got a PS2.

When I was younger my next neighbour had a PS1. We must have spent half our childhood on that thing. We played everything from Toy Story to Spiderman to Gran Tourismo to Tekken.
But the one that stands out the most is Crash Bandicoot. The very first one. We took turns trying to beat a level, swapping when we died. We had written down all the level codes to get back to them and then one day his cleaner threw them out. My god we raged. That game was the funnest game I'd ever played and it is easily a classic in my mind.

Croc 2, Crash Team Racing. They're the ones that stand out to me. Especially Crash Team Racing. Every game after it was a mess, which was quite ironic, given they were on better hardware.
Ah yes, those games will always be remembered in my memories.

I remember when I had a friend help me unlock all the extra stuff in CTR after downloading it off a memory card.
Gone forever for personal reasons.

Wow! Nice to see some people still enjoy the good ol' classics! I do remember playing CTR, as well as Crash Badicoot: Warped. Final Fantasy VII was another I played, along with Toy Story and Gran Turismo. There were a few others, but I can't quite recall them...

There's so many to choose from for the PS1 back when the games were still at a decent price that you could afford to get 3 at a time. I think Crash Bandicoot 2, Crash Team Racing and Spyro Year of The Dragon are definitely on my top list. I really like Final Fantasy IX but I wouldn't put it on this list since I wasn't a big fan of those RPG games back when I was a kid.

Ahh, the PS1. 'Twas my very first home console.
The games I loved when I still played it would probably be...
The Spyro and Crash games, Digimon World 1 and 3, Aladdin, Crash Team Racing, Chocobo Racing, Chocobo's Dungeon, DDR: Disney Mix and Tony Hawks. Yeah, I have a couple of odd games in there, but I loved them all nonetheless! xD;

Digimon Rumble Arena
Digimon World 3 (In case you wonder why not DW1, I never saw it until a year or so ago)
NFS Hot Pursuit
The first three Spyros
Yu Gi Oh: Forbidden Memories

My favorite out of these? I don't know, but the one I and my friends spent the most time with was probably Spyro 3 - Year of the Dragon.

As a matter of fact, one of them I remember, now that you mention it, WAS Spyro: Year of the Dragon. And, oh yeah, my first home console was a PS1 as well! I loved using Materia in FFVII, so I bought Crisis Core for the PSP. Mr. Driller was another. That was a fun arcade style game. I don't remember what game it was, might've been Metal Gear Solid, but I remember being able to fire a guided rocket at these weird crystal-like targets. I dunno if they're the same, but another was crawling around through narrow hallways, avoiding guards who could spot you with their flashlights. Oh, lastly, there was another, where you piloted a huge mech-type robot that fought other robots within the far reaches of space. You could blow up satellites, if my memory isn't playing tricks on me...

Never played the PSX during the era it was relevant, but I do own quite a bit of games now from collecting (mostly RPGs)

Chrono Cross and Tactics Ogre would probably be the two games I enjoyed the most from that console.

Yeah, I collect a lot of older RPGs as well. Can't beat the classics. However, during the time I owned my PS1, I mostly owned demo discs. The only REAL games I had for it was Jade Cocoon: Story Of The Tamamayu, Twisted Metal 4, and Monopoly.

Crash Team Racing was amazing. It's the only PS1 game I managed to keep when Mum donated the rest to the Womens' Refuge for some reason (along with the damn system itself). So that was definitely my favourite, but I played Need For Speed: High Stakes a lot too. I loved the Hot Pursuit mode in that game, even though I was terrible at catching the criminals. I was just like SPIKE STRIP SPIKE STRIP OH GOD HQ WHY WON'T YOU GIVE ME A SPIKE STRIP.

I think I had a Spyro game which was pretty mint as well. And I never got into the main series Crash Bandicoot games, somehow. They just weren't as cool somehow, though on the occasions I did play them they seemed okay. Gameplay was good, but the story was boring.

The Oddworld games were my absolute favorite on PS1. I don't own the digital versions because I still have my original discs and memory card, but anyone who hasn't played them needs to. Puzzle platforming perfection with a great side of dark humor.

Nice! Some Final Fantasy fans, along with our favorite orange Bandicoot. Never played Oddworld though. Oh yeah, my PS1 was sold off for some foundation as well. I still wish I could turn back time and keep that thing. Anyone ever play the Tomb Raider games? They weren't my favorites due to the ultra-sticky controls, but I remember lurking around out of the sight of the Military Police in that game. Reminds me a little of Splinter Cell, but not as subtle. I heard the older Resident Evil games were worth playing, so what's your opinion?

Resident Evil was awesome and simple to complete... as long you survive.
Oh, I see, that's funny! RE games are fun (only played newer ones), they kinda remind me of Doom. Anyways, does anyone play Command & Conquer (I LOVE those games)? Westwood Studios made Red Alert for the PS1, so of course I bought that. And another thing! Does anyone play their PS1 games on a PS2? If you do, did you buy a PS1 game knowing you had to get a PS1 Memory Card? Or did you buy it without even knowing? I didn't know! I was really irritated, and asked myself, "How come I need to get something so similar in shape and size, JUST to save my progress?".
