The Tekken games, Soul Calibur, Soul Reaver, Alundra (apparently you have it, so this is a good start)...

Oh Castlevania Symphony of the Night is one of the games that holds best over time...

Form some serious hidden gems, look at Racket boy's list:

So guys today I got a PS1 to celebrate its anniversary in my own way :) (we had one long time ago but my sister sold it...)

But I dont have alot of games anymore only RedAlert/Star Ocean/Gta1/Alundra/Rayman/Vagrant Story
So please name the games you guys love the most and also the ones that look the best/show what the PS1 is capable of.
Screenshots etc would also be nice.

I am a SNES fan so every type of JRPG or Beat em up (like Final Fight, Turtles in Time) would be appreciated!

In case you want to see my new baby:

Apart from some tiny scratches on the disk tray it looks damn beautiful for a ~20 year old console. Its a SCPH 7502 model btw. and its a PAL system (in case its not region free. I dont really know anymore lol)

Well thank you in advance!

Parasite eve, legend of Dragon, Suikoden 1&2, Xenogears , clock Tower, Silent Hill. fear effect, Arc the lad, vagrant story, Metal Gear:Solid Snake. That's my recommendation.

Pay the $60 dollars and go buy a used copy of Tomba! 2.

A lot of the great games from the PS1 era have stupid high resale value and many are collectors item. Good luck with your wallet :p

Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy VII

There are many other games that are must buy, but those games in particular define the PS1 for me.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
