While the PS1 did have quite an extensively large library of great games and alot of variety I feel it lacked the very best AAA (IMO, your opinion may differ games compared to the N64 with it's mario, zelda, goldeneye/perfect dark, etc.
Geniunely preferred the Saturn and N64s libraries to the PS1s to be honest.

Well, it depends on your tastes. As far as I know, you don't like RPGs very much, and a lot of the PS1 AAA titles are RPGs, so.. Some non RPG AAA titles are Castlevania SotN, MM Legends, Einhander, Strider 2, and Metal Slug X, to name a few.

Einhander, Strider 2, and Metal Slug X, to name a few.

Those certainly aren't AAA titles. Einhänder is fairly average IMHO, Strider 2 is a good game and a great blast from the past, but no AAA game and MS X is only AAA on the NG and newer systems.

Exactly. At least Refa got Castlevania: Symphony of the Night right. Another non-RPG PS1 AAA game is Metal Gear Solid. I won't pretend to be able to think of a lot more of them, because I'm an unrepentant RPG fan anyway.

Klonoa: Door to Phantomile would be another non-RPG, AAA title. Never played it myself, but it's heavily praised by those who have. I'd also consider Spyro: YotD as a AAA game, but maybe that's just me.

Also @Refa, I would definitely not consider MML a AAA game.

I ment Final Fantasy .

[Refa]

I'm sorry if my opinion on a subjective matter is "wrong", but when I played those games, I thought they were awesome. Granted I played them a whie back, so I could possibly be speaking through rose tinted glasses. Although saying "wrong" to an opinion makes no sense at all. Plenty of people hate supposed AAA games. So what, does that make them subpar?...and yes, I realize few consider the games I mentioned AAA.

PS the PSX version of MSX is awesome. Dunno what you're talking about...

[Mickeymac]

Wasn't one of the Metal Slugs PSOne only? Or am I thinking of Gradius?

Digimon World 3 is my favorite out of the games I had when I owned a PSOne, but I guess my favorite overall would have to be Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which was an absolutely wonderful game!(although I didn't enjoy the Inverted Castle as much as I thought I would)

Runner-ups:

Final Fantasy 7
Mega Man X4, X5
Metal Gear Solid
Persona 2: Innocent Sin
Rayman 2

Didn't think you enjoyed FFVII so much. Did it get better later on?

PS When you say Persona 2, do you mean the Japanese one? Because we only got part 2 of the game.

PS Yes, you are thinking of Gradius Gaiden....There was a PS2 only Metal Slug though

Actually, I haven't had too many complaints with FF7 so far. The only major problem is that I don't play it that much.

And yes, I mean the Japanese Persona 2. I'm still waiting for part 2 to come out before I try that(I'm assuming the stories don't overlap that much, correct?)

Oh, I guess I was thinking of the PS2-only one, then.

Actually, they do connect quite a bit (from what I've read, mind you, because I've never played it). The PS2 only ones don't appear to have many connections to the first 2.

I've always thought the SMT series hit its stride on the PS2, because it got 7 unique installments for that console, compared to the 2 for the PS1 and 3 for the SNES.

No 2D platformers?

Well, Rayman is awesome too that I like very much, but isn´t an exclusive title for the PS1 (there is a PC, Saturn and Atari Jaguar versions).

For a platform PS1 exclusive I think the first Crash Bandicoot an amazing title.

What about...Mega Man X5? :

And Crash Bandicoot isn't 2D

Neither 3D... is a 2.5D.

About Megaman, sorry, because I don´t like Megaman.

[GameAndWatch]

im in a PS1 and PS2 mood sorta but my favourite is yu gi oh frbidden memories. currently playing that.

[Tull]

Point Blank

[Earl_Wiggles]

I haven't really played PSX games since they were originally out but I remember liking the G-Police/Colony Wars series, Spiderman, Final Fantasy VIII and Gex 3D. I dread to think how some of them play today.

[SKTTR]

only liked Murder Death Kill and Soul Blade.

of course Resident Evil was something cool back then, well, bad-aged now.

Well i havent played Final Fantasy VIII & only started on VII but for IX its still pretty solid .

[mickycrueser]

Here is some best PS1 games,
1. Final Fantasy Tactics
2. Tekken 3
3. Metal Gear Solid
4. Twisted Metal 2
5. Gran Tourismo 2
6. Tenchu Stealth Assassins
7. Final Fantasy 7
8. Resident Evil
9. Xenogears

and my favorite is Final Fantasy.

[NintendoFan]

I think the best PS1 game was the original Gran Turismo. So good. There were so many options, mods and wicked gameplay for a PS1 game. I think it was way ahead of the curve.

[Alien8]

So many ground breaking games were made on that system so its a tough question..
Tomb Raider
Resident Evil
Silent Hill
Driver
Duke nukem 3d
Twisted Metal 2
Metal Gear Solid

[melx]

I haven't played a PS game for ages but I spent a long time playing these.

Colin McRae rally
Final Fantasy 7
Tony Hawk 1,2
Ape Escape
Grand Turismo
Breath of Fire III

and a robot/mech one I can't remember the name of but it was a 'grid rpg' or whatever people call them, also one where you went up a tower and did monster breeding, with a similar grid type battle system.

Not sure about this one.

ah, that's it..... Front Mission 3.... I really enjoyed that one, that was a great game.

I'll try and remember the other, it was like a cross between several types of games, it was part 'run around the village talking to people' in a 'harvest moon' kind of style, but had the feel of a 'dating sim' at times too which was a bit odd... then it had a monster breeding part that you did in the back of your house... then a part where you went into this tower to battle monsters and find items.

[melx]

got it... it's called 'Azure Dreams'

azure dreams

[hayes1516]

Tomb Raider
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Dragon Warrior VII

SaGa Frontier 2 isn't bad. It's a heck of a lot better than the first one, at least. I was going to try to rebuy it, but I may just wait for it to come to PSN.

[link64]

Since the thread's been reopened Metal Gear Solid or Symphony Of The Night not a big RPG fan and those two are some of the better aged games.

The first one never even made it to Europe! :P

[Turai]

Suikoden 2 for me, not only the best ps1 game imo but also the best game ever made.

It's so expensive its just stupid though.

Suikoden 1 is only $5.99 on PSN. I thought you had a PSP?
I'm sure Suikoden 2 will follow onto PSN eventually.

If it's not out by the time I get there, I may make the original PS1 version my 2000th Backloggery game.
