Definitely agree with you, tafk. Final Fantasy Tactics is my favorite strategy RPG! If you want a more fleshed-out translation and cutscenes with voiceovers, Final Fantasy Tactics: War Of The Lions on the PSP or digitally for the Vita. As far as lesser-known RPGs, not sure if I'm right about these but here goes... Strategy RPGs: Front Mission 3: Not a big fan of the main protagonist but really enjoyable gameplay. Definitely loved Front Mission 4 on the PlayStation 2. Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth: Rewards you with possibly better item drops when you chain a combo. Kartia: Still takes time for me to learn how to do the crafting system but still a decent game. May need to warn you, I have a bit of an Atlus/Sega/Sony addiction. Action RPGs: Darkstone: Diablo-esque gameplay with randomized dungeons. Need to replay this game when I'm able to find one. Also available on PC. Threads Of Fate: Only played Rue's path but I enjoyed the adventuring and gameplay. Vagrant Story: Did not get very far but disabling limbs, with a targeting dome similar to Parasite Eve, along with the weapon-crafting and maintenance... Awesome! Turn-based RPGs: Beyond The Beyond, Legend Of Dragoon: From my days of a mild Atlus-, Sega-, Square-Enix-, and Sony-published game addictions. Grandia & Lunar series: Some re-edited content from the Sega Saturn version. Awesome games, though. Thousand Arms: Some dating-sim elements incorporated into weapon upgrading. Battle system is one character fighting, while party members support/buff/debuff. |

Some underrated titles are.... Andretti Racing Ballistic Project: Horned Owl (METALICA!) C: The Contra Adventure Contra Legacy of War Hexen |

I enjoyed the Croc series, fun platformers, and they are pretty cheap, but also look into Resident Evil 1-3 as well, also consider Metal Gear Solid. |

Possibly not worth playing now but the original Gran Turismo isn't a bad one to collect, it's certainly a classic though I have no idea on cost. Tenchu is one of my PlayStation favorites and even though I don't love fighting games, I've had a lot of fun with Tekken 3. If you like space combat sims Colony Wars is good, if a bit short. |

--- Quote from: burningdoom on November 09, 2014, 03:09:49 am ---Other than RPGs, most of the games on PS1 are cheap. And even some of those can be cheap. There are a few exceptions, of course. But for the most part, you'll find it to be a very affordable system to collect for. And if basic graphics don't bother you much, there's actually a lot of innovative gameplay to be found in this era. My recommendations for cheap, good PS1 games: Action/Adventure: -Castlevania: Symphony of the Night -Fighting Force -Medievil -Mega Man X 4-6 -Metal Slug X -Resident Evil 1-3 -Spider-Man 1 & 2 -Tenchu: Stealth Assassins Light-Gun Shooters: -Area 51 -Time Crisis Platformers: -Crash Bandicoot 1-3 -Gex -Rayman -Spyro the Dragon 1-3 RPGs: -Brave Fencer Musashi -King's Field 1 & 2 -Legend of Legaia -Xenogears Shoot-Em Ups: -Apocalypse -Darius Gaiden -Raiden Project -Strikers 1945 -Thunder Force V Other: -Jet Moto series (jet-ski racing) -Road Rash 3-D (mixture of motorcycle-racing and combat) -Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1-4 (skateboarding) -Twisted Metal 1-4 (vehicular-combat) -Vigilante 8 & V8: 2nd Offense (vehicular-combat) -WWF Smackdown 1 & 2 (wrestling) --- End quote --- I guess your definition and my definition of cheap is a bit different. Castlevania Symphony of the Night is expensive as hell. MediEvil 1 & 2 are $20 and up each, and the price of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro PS1 games have gone through the roof as well. And trying to find a cheap copy of Xenogears is harder than finding a Unicorn. :-[ |
