Someone posted a bit ago about the super station one fpga system and i decided to preorder one. Now I’m curious, what would all of your essentials be for the playstation system?

No need to give me a whole list, but if you can share me some of your standouts and why, id appreciate it.

i’ve played very little of ps1 and didn’t even realize it was a system until the ps2 came out!

Wipeout 2097 - Still one of my favourite racing games of all time and has a banging soundtrack

Gran Turismo 2 - Big enough that it needed 2 discs. A classic in sim racing.

MediEvil - Fun humorous story and great atmosphere.

Spyro - It was on the demo disc.

Final Fantasy 7 & 8 - RPG classics. Nuff said.

And a bonus game that sucked:

Command & Conquer port - Buggy, lots of lag and terrible controls

You could link two playstations and play c&c in lan, waisted so many days on that.

Fuck yeh. We used to do that but one person had to play under a duvet because both of the TVs faced in the same direction.

The Spyro trilogy is a masterpiece! It was one of the first games to use shifting levels of detail for objects in the distance, so you could see farther away.
