What PS1 game made the biggest first impression on you

[Leynos]

I first played a PS1 at a Kiosk with an ESPN sports game. The game that blew me away was G Darius.  It's still a great game but this was my first Darius game. It was at a local game store in the mall across from the Arcade. Older games might remember a 13-inch TV with massive fold-out speakers. They had the game playing on that. I got to the first fish boss. Seeing 2D backgrounds mixed with at the time gorgeous 3D really gave a great impression on me even tho I played other PS1 games at a friend's house before.
