Final Fantasy IX is awesome. And has aged well.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is another great PSOne game. I don't think there was a better Castlevania since then...

There's so much to consider, and so many good PS1 titles. Right now, I have downloaded:

Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Vagrant Story
Chrono Cross
Chrono Trigger
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Command and Conquer
Crash Bandicoot
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped

Not to mention the Resident Evil Games, Metal Gear Solid, Twisted Metal, dozens of others. What I'm trying to say is that there's little chance you can go wrong. If you're looking for adventure, Castlevania is likely your best bet.

Or screw it and get Journey. That's a game you can't go wrong with.

I truly do love them all, but that doesn't mean they are without flaws.  I see the good and bad in all, and while I certainly do have a favorite, that doesn't mean I don't love them all.  I criticize becuase I Care.

Chrono Cross!

Don't listen to the "it's a terrible sequel" argument. It's a good classic JRPG.

While its not really adventure, Metal Gear Solid 1's gameplay has held up pretty well over the years. Gameplay wise its pretty much MGS2 and MGS3 with PS1 graphics.


You only have the following options:

1) You haven't played MGS1

2) You haven't played MGS2 and/or MGS3

2) You have a terrible memory

3) You are blatantly lying for some reason

Castlevania Symphony of the Night ( the best Castlevania ever! ) or Final Fantasy IX. Those 2 are the greatest on the PS1,no doubt. I'd personally go with Symphony of the Night though .

I've played all three, and what I meant is they are all far more similar to each other than MGS4 (which was a pretty large departure) incase that was the only one he had played.  In 1,2 & 3 you hide in a spot, watch enemy patrol patterns, make your move, repeat.  Yes some games added more elements (MGS3 camo system for example) but it all really boils down to the same thing.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I never owned the psx version but I've played and beaten it on xbla and it's great.
