PS1 Hidden Gems

Which PS1 hidden gem would you suggest?

Your Tekken 2 intro always makes me nostalgia so hard!!!!!!!

Glad to see Digimon World 2 mentioned, it is my favorite PS1 game. I was obsessed with it as a kid and play the hell out of it. I wish DW 2 & 3 would get remastered versions for modern consoles.

Bomberman Fantasy Race is one of my favourite ps1 games of all time and I always hated how people are quick to dismiss it as a "bad mario kart clone". It's much more than that and it actually tries to be its own thing by adding different mechanics. The creatures you ride for example drift using their own momentum, rather than by simply pushing a button like in Mario Kart. There's also the fact they have a stamina bar that you need to manage, it means that you can't just accelerate as fast as you can all the time and win that way. There are also the jumping pads on the walls of each track that if you time it right allow you to jump off them to gain a boost in speed. Finally, the fact that you always have a projectile on hand (the basic bomb) regardless of whether or not you've picked up a power up means that you can always use them to attack other players, defend yourself from their projectiles and even use them to boost your speed if you time it just right and throw the bomb a few feet in front of you whenever you make a jump. It has its flaws for sure, besides the ones you mentioned about the lack of analogue stick support, some of the powerups can be incredibly cheap too, but it's also a game with a lot of depth in its mechanics and unique aesthetics that people always miss out on because they are quick to hate on any cartoony racing game that is not Mario Kart™ made by Nintendo® . I'm glad that you decided to give this one a try and recommend it to others!

Bomberman Fantasy Race was amazing, criminally underrated. Other racing suggestions: 3xtreme, Chocobo racing, Running wild

I really love your show and I have been watching all of your content since the pandemic started 3 years ago when I was stuck at home and no job. And it just so happens that I found your channel and since then I subscribed. All of your content is very informative, calming and entertaining to watch. I could go as far as to say that you deserve more subscribers and views.

I've been binge watching your videos for months now and as the PS1 is my favorite and nostalgic console, its videos are my most awaited ones... I've finished a lot of great hidden gems thanks to you and the last one was Koudelka and now playing The Legend of Dragoon 😀 God bless you man and I wish you the best in life, take care

Really love these videos. You do such a great job putting together these lists. The only game I’ve played from here is “One.” I remember it being really fun!

I always look forward to your videos! Very well done and the content is awesome. And thank you for leaving the name of the game up in the corner while you discuss the gameplay!!!

once again, you lists are well curated and the way you narrate make me want to play each and everyone. if you make a part 2 I reccomend checking out "Future cop: LAPD" it actually has a secondary mode other than story that is argued to be one of the first MOBA like games. That aside though you play as a cop in a mech that can transform into a hover car and you have tons of weapons and can upgrade them and I just used to loooove it as a kid.

Love all your videos, man, esp the ps1 and jrpgs, rpgs contents!

Dude love your channel!! Keep up the great work it gives us so much nostalgia :) pd: whats the intro song?

Gungage! I still have that game. I bought it almost 20 years ago. It remains one of my favorites he and C12 Final Resistance. Great video as always! Thank you!

Video captures are out of this world, indeed! Sharp, luminous and colorful! Good job!

MAD STALKER is so cool, I found out about it from the arranged soundtrack getting recommended to me a while back. It was released on a surprising number of platforms too

What an awesome list. Can't wait to play Rock N Roll Racing 2. Grew up playing #1 on Sega Genesis. Thanks!

YOOOOOOOOOO that Bomberman racer looks so good tho (as someone who's not that into racers these days)! Welcome back though, I love these vids! Will be sure to try some of these out at some point, a few that interested me here. Never really took a deep dive into the PS1 library tbh due to how outdated a good handful of games feel (imo).

I am pleasantly surprised! I thought I knew about most PS1 games by now and nearly no 'hidden gem' videos showed me anything I hadn't seen already.. but I never heard of Critical Blow or Gungage before! Thanks :)

Mad Stalker looks pretty fun! I'm always on the lookout for fun beat-'em-ups. Digimon World 2 I wasn't too crazy about, though I respect it being different.

Here are some Gems from me: -Expert (FPS) -Silent Bomber (3rd Person Action) -Crisis Beat (Beat em up) -Legend (Beat em up) -Raising Zan (3rd Person Action) -Chaos Break (Resi Like Action) -Galaga Destination Earth (Shmup/Railshooter) -Ninja Shadow of Darkness (3rd Person Action) -Jackie Chan Stuntmaster (3rd Person Action) -Space Debris (Railshooter) -Burning Road (Daytona on PS1) -EoS Edge of Skyhigh (Railshooter) -Gamora 2000 (cheesy Railshooter ;) ) -Guntu Western Front 1944 (WW2 Lightgun shooter with hilariously Bad Grafics) -Viper (Railshooter) I dont know if you covered some of them?
