Does anyone still play PS1 games?
I do occasionally. Bust a Move 2 for example I played last week. It might look dated, but the gameplay is as addictive as it was back in 1996 when the game was released.

I still play the Final Fantasies. Best era of the games and my favourite games of all time.
Remake or no remake I will always play these ! |

Up until the release of this generation's Batman games, Spiderman on PS1 was still the best superhero game ever made by a substantial margin.

Final Fantasy 7 and 8, Metal Gear Solid. I agree they look very dated, esp FF7, but they are still as addictive as ever.

FIFA 97 is good for a laugh.
John Motson's comment after I went 4-0 up "looks like we're heading for a draw and possibly extra time"

I'm currently playing FF7 on PC, which sort of counts. Actually I wish I was playing it on a Playstation as higher resolutions really don't flatter the game backgrounds.

Up until a few weeks ago, I had a virtually unused copy of Grandia sitting on the shelf. I popped it in one night and, whaddaya know - it's actually rather good. Finishing it is another matter, of course, but it's nice to return to a simpler time, a time when hearing The B Word used in a game was actually rather shocking (see also Metal Gear Solid).

Loads. |

Still can't beat a bit of International Superstar Soccer. Some great commentary - "My Granny could have saved that!"
Micro Machines, Destruction Derby and Warzone 2100 get the occasional dust off too; Usually when my mate who I originally played them with comes round. |

I have been going through a nostaliga phase recently and even purchased some PS1 games. I bought LMA Manager, Driver 1 and a sim manager game called 'FA Premier League Manager' which had a bug where you could buy Ronaldo from Inter for free and he'd still be at Inter, meaning you could buy loads of Ronaldos! ![]() In addition to ISS Pro, GTA1 and Premier Manager 98 & 2000 also were part of my childhood. The completion of Driver 2 was (at the time) my greatest ever achievement ![]() I still have a fair few games and will still play them. Many F1 games, FIFA's were purchased a few years ago as I never got the chance to play them. I even paid an eye-watering amount about 4 years ago to buy a game my cousin had, ESPN Extreme Games. My console, which I have had since 1999, is in its box now with the PS3 my central game hub. I am a bit of a nostalgia-ist but I do enjoy looking back. The simplicity is what I like best. Games were simple, unassuming, and didn't have 1,000,000 extras or add-ons which you had to do. |

I certainly do, mostly through my PSP though these days. Rollcage Stage II, Gran Turismo 2, NHL 2001, Dino Crisis 2, Resi 3, Einhander, Doom, The Radien Project, Strider 2, GTA 2, TOCA 2/WTC, Rage Racer, Omega Boost, Music 2000 etc
all great games and still as fun to play now as ever. |
