Guessed by drbunnig This little puzzle game might be a bit obscure, but it still is however, very good. Kula World, or Roll Away in America, has you finding your way as a beach ball on a group of floating beams and blocks. You can roll from one end to the other, and at ends you can turn around to the sides or underside of a beam or jump to another if it is near enough. You'll have to find ways to get all the keys to unlock the exit to the next level. This is very challenging, and there's plenty of levels so I have never been able to complete it. I tried it a lot, and it is one of my most played PlayStation games. It is even the only game I re-bought as a Classic when it was re-released on PlayStation 3. The urge to try it once more was too great.
Guessed by Darashiva Way up here in the list do we find MediEvil. The medieval fantasy adventure game that is the very best game to have ever graced a PlayStation console if you asked me. I immediately loved this game when I first got it. At first as a pirated game anonymously part of our endless stack, but then it turned out to be good enough to be bought for real. The game has character and lots of humour, has fun and varying level design and memorable locations and plot moments. The final boss, the sorcerer Zarok, is one of those moments. It has a couple of phases that story-wise call back to the great battle in the game's backstory, first you have to support allied soldiers fighting enemy soldiers by giving them your health, then fight Zarok's horseback general, and finally Zarok himself. Before he comes out, he's audibly powering himself up off-screen by using several enchantments, trying to find the best one to use. There's chicken sounds and other things, and then he comes forth, as some kind of strange dragon hybrid. It was the most ridiculous thing I had ever seen.
Guessed by drbunnig Speaking of ridiculous things; Theme Hospital. This started development as a 'serious' hospital management game, but then the developers thought that would be too boring. I think they were right, because it turned out to be one of my all-time favourite games. If you want humour, you want Theme Hospital. I liked planning and decorating the interior of the hospitals and providing care for the patients as you progressed through the levels, only to have someone puke on my shiny clean floor. Okay, no big deal, I employed a janitor. Then there are rats though, so more puke. Let's shoot them. But now too many patients with different diseases are intermingling in the hallways and waiting areas. More puke. And then there is an emergency, a helicopter comes down dropping off eight critical patients as indicated with an icon of germs above there heads and you have to vaccinate them quickly. But they are walking through the puke now, and others get infected. Every tile on the floor is puked on. People are now dying in puke and they get taken by the Grim Reaper himself! Ahh! So stressful. |
I've got fond memories of playing the demo for Kula World a fair bit as a kid (I played demo discs more than actual games back then!), and renting Theme Hospital.

#13 - Gonna take a guess at Mario Kart 8 Deluxe given I know how much you like that game. Had no idea OpenCritic was named after a race in it though! I'm an idiot.
#12 & 11 - The dates match up for Super Metroid, Fusion, and Prime.
