There's a huge distinction between "any list" and "list of no-brainers". The PlayStation was Sony's first console. A PlayStation Classic should have the games that defined the console. Nintendo's 1st Classic System had 7 of the NES' Top 10 sellers on it. The PlayStation Classic has 3. The NES Classic also had the big 3rd party titles that everyone remembers the NES for: Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, Mega Man 2, Double Dragon II, Super Contra, Ghosts n' Goblins... Meanwhile, Crash Bandicoot (The PlayStation's mascot from that era!!), Spyro the Dragon, and Tomb Raider do not have a single entry to represent them. I owned a PlayStation and spent a lot of time gaming on it, but the list that Sony came up with to represent their first ever console is extremely underwhelming to me. I don't think they did a good job at all compiling a list of games representative of that system. I'm not talking about leaving out niche games that I enjoyed personally, like Suikoden, Vandal Hearts, Vanguard Bandits, Vagrant Story, etc. I'm talking about games that the system is remembered for in general. Sir Daniel Fortesque from MediEvil and PaRappa the Rapper were both in PlayStation All Stars Battle Royal, and neither of their games are represented here either. |
But mediEvil is getting a remake and parappa is already on PSN. (well FFVII aswell but that one is to big to miss out i guess). Crash/Spyro should not be surprising that they did not make the list including Wipeout. Crash Team Racing would have been a great addition.
But if you owned a playsation during it's first year this list really represent the console well:
- Battle Arena Toshinden
- Cool Boarders (2)
- Destruction Derby
- Intelligent Qube
- Jumping Flash!
- Mr. Driller
- Rayman
- Resident Evil Director’s Cut
- Ridge Racer (Type 4)
- Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
- Syphon Filter
- Tekken (3)
- Twisted Metal
And so on....
It is not difficult to make a better list but their is so much to choose from.
