I want to experience the PS1. What are the must-play games?

Updated list! Thanks again all. Seems Final Fantasy is a clear winner across three games… but lots of really good ideas here, and many games I’ve never heard of before. Now I’ve just gotta figure out a way to play these games… I don’t own a PC. The only way I’ve heard as being a really solid emulator would be on XBSX. Can anyone attest?

Keep giving me game names!

You don't own even a basic laptop? PS1 games could run emulated on the PC I used to do schoolwork in 2006

You can just check if the game is available to purchase on PS store, Capcom and Square have a couple of classics to purchase digitally 

I’ve got a MacBook Air (2019) but it turns into a furnace when running something as light as Microsoft Word. I’ve got the latest iPad Pro, is it possible to emulate on that? I know for a fact it could handle it if so. Otherwise, I’ll have to look around.

edit: Just found this! Seems promising.
