What was the game that convinced you to get a PS1?

I bought it with Tomb raider 2, yet I already wanted one since I saw Wipeout running on it. Wipeout 2097 was awesome.

The primary reason for buying it was that I could not afford to buy a new PC at the time. Upgrading wasn't that easy back then and PCs very pricey. Initially I was a bit disappointed with the low quality graphics tbh, yet everything ran a lot smoother than on my PC and soon I was playing amazing exclusives like FF7 and MGS. V-Rally ran so smooth with instant restarts that consoles soon became my preferred racing platform.
