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!

Some additional deeper cuts:

  • Trap Gunner - because sending your friend on a trip around the entire level into a nest of bombs and mines never gets old.
  • Syphon Filter - because, how about… the taser? (The commercial is for 2, but the first one has a better taser… trust me.)
  • The Unholy War - because it‘s basically chess but with flying bladebots and chompy little toothbastards.
  • Die Hard Trilogy - because it’s 3 games and one of them is inexplicably one of the better light gun games ever made.
  • Ghost in the Shell - because find me another game where you drive a tank that climbs walls.
  • Return Fire - because if playing Capture the Flag with military vehicles while listening to classical music isn’t a good time, I don’t know what is.
  • Star Ocean: The Second Story - because an epic JRPG with 86 possible endings and dozens of different skills like Musicianship, Blacksmithing, Cooking, and Publishing most certainly is not overkill.
  • Blast Chamber - because all sports would be better if they were played in a room where you can rotate gravity.
  • Future Cop LAPD - because sometimes I’m just tired of conserving my ammo.
  • N2O: Nitrous Oxide - because 90’s techno and lasers.

Wait, what?

A lot of it is that depending on who your party ends up being, it stitches together each one’s ending, so beating the game may let you watch several of said endings. You don’t have to beat it 86 times.

That said, it’s still a crazy game.
