 * File:Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere (PAL).jpg
 * Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere (JP)
 * Flight Simulator/Arcade
 * 3rd installment in the Ace combat series. The American release lacks the animated cutscenes and the story of the JP version. The Japanese release consists of 2 CD's of Ace Combat goodness with animation (and some aircraft design) done by Production IG, multiple characters (it even has a nigger that calls you aiBRO) with branching storylines 5 different endings and the only ace combat mission in outer space.
 * File:Air Combat (PAL).jpeg
 * Air Combat
 * Flight Simulator/Arcade
 * The first Ace Combat game. The name was changed for America.

 * Alundra
 * Action/Adventure
 * Made by the team who made Landstalker for the Genesis/Mega Drive. Features similar elements of adventure and puzzling.
 * File:Ape Escape.jpg
 * Ape Escape
 * Action/Adventure
 * You catch cartoony monkeys, but it's a lot more fun than it sounds. Each of the monkeys have different AI. You also have several gadgets to help you wrangle them all. It's a surprisingly entertaining game, but the sequels are better.

 * Azure Dreams
 * RPG
 * Think Pokémon meets Harvest Moon with dungeon-crawlan. The gameplay follows a simple pattern. Climb the tower as high as you and your monster companions can handle, and escape. You will always stay the same level, but the stronger your monsters become, the higher up the tower you can climb each time and get better loot as a result. Use any resources you've gathered to expand and improve your home and the town around it each day. Boning the neighborhood girls is your side-quest here.

 * Bloody Roar 2
 * Fighting
 * Fairly typical fighting game except that all characters can transform into a super-powered 'Beast Mode', allowing special attacks. (Note for pirates: it can do widescreen, if you use it on your PSP.)
 * File:Brave Fencer Musashi (PAL).jpg
 * Brave Fencer Musashi
 * Action/Adventure
 * An Action/Adventure game with RPG elements. Has a unique premise that lets you learn the moves of your enemies (but you can only use one at a time) in order to solve puzzles, gain different attributes, or tear through enemies with ease. You also learn battle techniques (you can always use all of these that you've learned) from people you save throughout the game. There are also in-game action figures to collect.
 * File:Breath of Fire 3 (PAL).jpg
 * Breath of Fire 3
 * RPG
 * The third in the solid (and now dead) RPG series from Capcom. You can pick up and play this even if you never played 1 or 2. A little slow paced, but if you like classic RPGs and dragons, this might be the game for you. Later in the game you can "splice" your own dragon creations for battle.
 * File:Breath of Fire 4 (PAL.jpg
 * Breath of Fire 4
 * RPG
 * Last of the good BoF games. You'll find it has a little better pacing than BoF3, and the Fou-Lu missions are a blast. Made on the same game engine as 3, so if you hated that, don't bother with this.
 * File:Bushido Blade.jpg
 * Bushido Blade
 * Fighting
 * An attempt at creating a sword fighting sim. Does fairly well, it veers from traditional fighters in that many attacks are one hit kills. You can also cripple your opponent by attacking their arms or legs.

 * Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
 * Platformer
 * Created (and some would say perfected) the Metroidvania/Castleroid style of gameplay. Something's up in Dracula's Castle and it's up to his son Alucard to investigate. Very fun but it gets laughably easy towards the end.
 * File:Chocobo Racing (PAL).jpg
 * Chocobo Racing
 * Racing
 * This game was a shameless advertisement for Chocobo's Dungeon 2, but it is surprisingly fun for a knock-off kart racer.
 * File:Chocobo's Dungeon 2.jpg
 * Chocobo's Dungeon 2
 * RPG
 * Chocobo's Dungeon 2 is a surprisingly decent roguelike. You traverse dungeons, find items to increase your strength, and magic books to cast spells. The game can get a little repetitive, but trudging through the dungeons to get to the bosses is also mildly addicting.
 * File:Chrono Cross.jpg
 * Chrono Cross
 * RPG
 * There is a very mixed reception to this game from fans of Chrono Trigger. The storyline is sadly quite convoluted and absurd. There are also several arguably unnecessary characters. On the other hand, there are also very charming characters. The gameplay features a lot of things meant to relieve the tediousness of your average role playing games. There is virtually no grinding in this game, for instance, as characters don't really level up in typical fashion.

 * Hop into the cockpit as you wage war against the savage Earth Empire and its Colonial Navy, and stop its regime of oppression, as a pilot of the League of Free Worlds in this epic two-disc space shooter. With over 70 missions, multiple mission paths and endings, there are so many ways the war can turn: each mission can make a difference.
 * File:Colony Wars Vengeance.jpg
 * Colony Wars: Vengeance
 * Other
 * Follow the story of Mertens, a pilot in the Colonial Navy, during his struggle against the League of Free Worlds, in this sequel to the first Colony Wars game. With craft upgrades and ground-based missions, Colony Wars: Vengeance adds more variety to the Colony Wars game series.

 * File:Digimon World (PAL).jpg
 * Digimon World
 * RPG
 * Digimon World was an extremely underrated game of its time. Essentially, the game amounted to Tamagotchi with a lot of exploration. The "Digimon World" was a huge land with tons of secrets. The goal of the game was to recruit Digimon to revive File City. Although a bit unforgivingly difficult at first, once you started recruiting some Digimon, the game was extremely addicting.
 * File:Dino Crisis (PAL).jpg
 * Dino Crisis
 * Survival Horror
 * An interesting twist on the survival horror genre from Capcom. Resident Evil + Dinosaurs = Profit. A great game, at least on par with RE1.
 * File:Driver (PAL).jpg
 * Driver
 * Racing
 * Fantastic driving (duh) game, focuses more on dramatic inner city getaways/pursuits than simple racing. This game is probably the closest you'll get to recreating the awesomeness of that one chase scene from Bullitt.

 * Final Fantasy set in a world of magic and technology, where you play as a group of rebels against an evil corporation. Pretty good story with a few twists, bad 3D, and a system similar to FFVI's Espers.

 * RPG
 * A back-to-the-roots Final Fantasy, returning to a medieval world with a lighthearted protagonist. Features less character customization but more specialization and a more fantastical style.

 * RPG
 * A collection of Final Fantasy V and VI with some new features and cutscenes. Was the first time V released in the USA with an authentic translation.
 * Final Fantasy Chronicles

 * A collection of Final Fantasy IV and Chrono Trigger ome new features and cutscenes. Get ready for shitty, 15-second-loading-times for battles in Chrono Trigger. The DS version is pretty much the PSX version with instant load times and a few new features, so that is the recommended choice if you're going to play CT. However, this is probably the best release of FF4 (other than the remake on the DS, unless you can't tolerate blocky 3D).

The story is much less grave than Another World, centering around some happy-go-lucky kid whose homemade transportation device takes him to another dimension or some shit. You do still get to watch him die in many grisly and beautifully animated ways, though.

 * Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete
 * RPG
 * A classic RPG with a solid plot if you can get past the grind factor. This is the game they made fast-forward on emulators for.
 * Marvel vs. Capcom
 * Fighting
 * The prequel to Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
 * MediEvil
 * Action/Adventure
 * 3D platformer where you play as a skeleton, it's really good, the art style is nice too. Check out the sequel too, both are awesome games.
 * Mega Man Legends
 * Action/Adventure
 * Both Legends and its sequel are truly underrated gems of the Playstation 1 era. In these games, you explore ruins, fight some pretty epic bosses, and obtain a plethora of different weapons in a 3D environment.
 * Mega Man Legends 2
 * Action/Adventure
 * Megaman Legends 2 is like its predecessor, but the game's world is not confined to a single island like in the first Legends title. I actually think Legends 2 is a slightly worse game due to having a couple underwater dungeons. On the other hand, the bosses (final boss in particular) are much more satisfying. There are also some cool new things to do, like a rageworthy 100-question quiz.
 * Megaman X4
 * Platformer
 * The sequel to X3. Lets you play as Zero, who gets his own boss weapons in the form of techniques, but, unfortunately, does not get armor parts.
 * Megaman X5
 * Platformer
 * The sequel to X4. The game features you racing against a simulated timer (1 stage attempt= 1 hour passed, regardless of how long you take) in order to prevent world destruction. Saving reploids in stages grants you various rewards.
 * Megaman X6
 * Platformer
 * The sequel to X5. This picks about 3 weeks X5 where the earth is pretty much ruined. You get to unlock Zero later on.
 * Metal Gear Solid
 * Action/Adventure
 * The dawn of mainstream stealth gaming and more cinematic experiences in games. Play as Solid Snake as he infiltrates Shadow Moses to stop Metal Gear REX from carrying out a nuclear strike. Great plot, great voice acting, solid gameplay. WARNING: not for people who cannot abide long cutscenes.
 * Monster Rancher 2
 * RPG
 * Monster Rancher 1 was really an innovative game. Insert CDs, obtain monsters, battle with other ones using the game's unique battle system. Monster Rancher 2 is more or less simply an improvement over that, but it was a notably big improvement. The game looks a lot better, there are tons more monsters, and tons more events as a whole. It is a shame that the series has somewhat gone downhill.
 * Mortal Kombat 4
 * Fighting
 * The sequel to MK3.
 * Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 
 * Racing
 * Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
 * Platformer
 * One of the best 2D platformers ever, set on an alien planet, you play as Abe, a slave, and your only power is to take control of your enemies. You can also interact with other slaves to lead them to safety (or to their death) using pre set sentences like follow me and stop. Pretty hard game, but very well done and satisfying.

 * The sequel to Parasite Eve.
 * Persona 2: Innocent Sin
 * RPG
 * Unreleased in the US by Atlus due to (potential) homolust, this game has a great story and character, and very little of the weaboo waifu focus of the later Persona entries. Probably some of the most decent characters of the Persona series.Requires a translation patch to play.
 * Persona 2: Eternal Punishment

 * Raiden

 * Rayman 2

 * Resident Evil
 * Survival Horror
 * The birth of the survival horror genre. Has a superior (and actually scary) remake on GC.
 * Resident Evil 2
 * Survival Horror
 * The sequel to RE. More of the same awesomeness as the first. Considered to be one of the strongest entries to the series. A must play if you've played or are going to play RE4, since Leon's origins are in this game.
 * Resident Evil 3 : Nemesis 
 * Survival Horror
 * A side story of RE2. Plays just like 2, but with new features such as dodging and 180 degree turning (later used in future RE games). Also features everybody's favorite mutant, Nemesis. S.T.A.R.S., motherfucker, S.T.A.R.S! You encounter Nemesis multiple times unexpectedly, making RE3 a true survival horror game.
 * Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure
 * Strategy
 * One of NIS' earlier entries. Features weird attacks, fighting puppets, and is rather easy, but good for beginners to strategy. Like the title says, it's a musical, so expect some (unintentionally?) hilarious singin' and dancin'.The DS remake has streamlined battles.
 * Ridge Racer Type 4
 * Racing
 * Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman
 * Action/Adventure
 * Fight demonic ninjas, robots, and other weird Japanese-made shit in a Wild West setting as a cowboy-turned-weeaboo in this fun action game. KATANA FIGHTAN, GUNSLINGAN, and BLOWAN SHIT UP. Also, cowboy hostages in undies.
 * Rival Schools
 * Fighting
 * Capcom's take on 3D fighting, though it plays more like a 2D fighter with its focus on aerial combat and tag team fighting. That's a plus--the game is more flowing than, say Tekken. Special guests include Sakura of Street Fighter Alpha fame and Fred Williard as Batsu's craaaaazy stepdad. Okay, I made that last one up.
 * Romance 6
 * Strategy
 * Romance of the Three Kingdoms 6 is a strategy game by Koei. You control a warlord. Your goal is to conquer China during the Three Kingdoms era. There is a lot of strategy at play here. You will have to manage diplomacy, warfare, personnel recruitment, and many other things in your bid for supremacy.
 * Saga Frontier
 * RPG
 * Guide one of seven people through seven different quests and countless worlds in a quest...well, to do a lot of things, really. Highly customizable characters and fast-pace battle system; suffers from high difficulty and the developers running out of time/money at the end.
 * Saiyuki
 * Strategy
 * Another take on the Journey to the West story (you know, like Dragonball). You (as the human priest/ess Sanzo) and your werecreature buddies travel west, kicking ass as you go. Has a look fairly similar to FFT, though it plays fairly differently. Very uneven learning curve.
 * Sentinel Returns
 * Other
 * If you understand what the fuck is going on, then all power to you. This thing is simple, yet incredibly fun, and there are over six hundred levels. You enter an alien landscape, and from the eyes of a stationary robot "host", you absorb trees [the local form of energy] and build a linear tower of boulders until you can see eye-to-eye with the titular Sentinel. This succeeds the Atari game "The Sentinel", and features a vast improvement in graphics. Perhaps the most outstanding point in this game is its incredible, thick-as-molasses atmosphere, to which the score, composed by none other than famed director John Carpenter, contributes in no small way. An excellent way to pass long hours when you're too jittery to read Lovecraft but you want something with the same vibe.
 * Silent Hill
 * Survival Horror
 * One of the scariest games ever, even if the PSX graphics kinda sucks compared to today's standards, this game will scare you shitless. Must play for survival horror fans. The (direct) sequel to this game is Silent Hill 3 on the PS2 and PC, another incredibly scary game.

 * Street Fighter Alpha 3
 * Fighting
 * One of this editor's all time favorite fighting games. Great battle systems, as well as a varied roster make this another great entry in the Street Fighter resume. Also someone of your breeding could never defeat Karin Kanzuki.
 * Strider 2
 * Action/Adventure
 * Take the concepts of the first Strider, make Hiryu all-around better, and make the level design cooler. That's Strider 2 in a nutshell, and damn is it good. No relation to those other Strider "sequels".
 * Suikoden
 * RPG
 * A generic RPG by today's standards but still fun. Play as the child of an imperial knight and eventually raise your own rebel army to take them down. As all Suikoden games, has 108 recruitable characters.
 * Suikoden 2
 * RPG
 * The sequel to Suikoden. Play as a solider who ends up leading an entire army against his old allies. Criminally under-rated; is one of the best RPGs on the system. Is considered by most to be the best in the series.

 * Survival Horror
 * The sequel to RE. More of the same awesomeness as the first. Considered to be one of the strongest entries to the series. A must play if you've played or are going to play RE4, since Leon's origins are in this game.

 * One of NIS' earlier entries. Features weird attacks, fighting puppets, and is rather easy, but good for beginners to strategy. Like the title says, it's a musical, so expect some (unintentionally?) hilarious singin' and dancin'.The DS remake has streamlined battles.
 * Ridge Racer Type 4
 * Racing
 * Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman
 * Action/Adventure
 * Fight demonic ninjas, robots, and other weird Japanese-made shit in a Wild West setting as a cowboy-turned-weeaboo in this fun action game. KATANA FIGHTAN, GUNSLINGAN, and BLOWAN SHIT UP. Also, cowboy hostages in undies.
 * Rival Schools
 * Fighting
 * Capcom's take on 3D fighting, though it plays more like a 2D fighter with its focus on aerial combat and tag team fighting. That's a plus--the game is more flowing than, say Tekken. Special guests include Sakura of Street Fighter Alpha fame and Fred Williard as Batsu's craaaaazy stepdad. Okay, I made that last one up.
 * Romance 6
 * Strategy
 * Romance of the Three Kingdoms 6 is a strategy game by Koei. You control a warlord. Your goal is to conquer China during the Three Kingdoms era. There is a lot of strategy at play here. You will have to manage diplomacy, warfare, personnel recruitment, and many other things in your bid for supremacy.
 * Saga Frontier
 * RPG
 * Guide one of seven people through seven different quests and countless worlds in a quest...well, to do a lot of things, really. Highly customizable characters and fast-pace battle system; suffers from high difficulty and the developers running out of time/money at the end.
 * Saiyuki
 * Strategy
 * Another take on the Journey to the West story (you know, like Dragonball). You (as the human priest/ess Sanzo) and your werecreature buddies travel west, kicking ass as you go. Has a look fairly similar to FFT, though it plays fairly differently. Very uneven learning curve.
 * Sentinel Returns
 * Other
 * If you understand what the fuck is going on, then all power to you. This thing is simple, yet incredibly fun, and there are over six hundred levels. You enter an alien landscape, and from the eyes of a stationary robot "host", you absorb trees [the local form of energy] and build a linear tower of boulders until you can see eye-to-eye with the titular Sentinel. This succeeds the Atari game "The Sentinel", and features a vast improvement in graphics. Perhaps the most outstanding point in this game is its incredible, thick-as-molasses atmosphere, to which the score, composed by none other than famed director John Carpenter, contributes in no small way. An excellent way to pass long hours when you're too jittery to read Lovecraft but you want something with the same vibe.
 * Silent Hill
 * Survival Horror
 * One of the scariest games ever, even if the PSX graphics kinda sucks compared to today's standards, this game will scare you shitless. Must play for survival horror fans. The (direct) sequel to this game is Silent Hill 3 on the PS2 and PC, another incredibly scary game.

T.R.A.G - Mission of Mercy

Action/Adventure

Action/Adventure



The original vehicular combat game. The second one is also pretty good, but avoid the third and fourth ones.

Intresting action game, plays like Resident Evil, you play as 2 Anti- Terrorist soldiers who are ment to clean out this terrorist group from a huge ass building, some robo-loli and a Badass motherfucker named Mr.Burns.

Games kind of short, but i enjoyed the style of this game. Characters are enjoyable, but the voice acting is terrable on cutscenes


 * Um Jammer Lammy
 * Other
 * Spiritual sequel to (i.e. exact same gameplay as) Parappa the Rapper. You play as Lammy the Lamb, rock guitarist extrordanaire for MilkCan, trying to make it to the gig you're late for. Tons of cameos and references to Parappa. Includes unlockable co-op, vs, and Parappa (you play as Parappa in a remix of each stage) modes. The original Guitar Hero.
 * Vagrant Story
 * RPG
 * A short game, but one hell of a lot of fun and with a ton of customization. Inspired Fallout 3's body-part-aiming system. Actually, no it didn't.
 * Valkyrie Profile
 * RPG
 * You play as a Valkyrie, collecting the souls of the fallen and honing them so that you can send them to Valhalla and fight for the Aesir. Interesting combat, and good 2D graphics.
 * Vandal Hearts
 * Strategy
 * Vandal Hearts 2
 * Strategy
 * The sequel improves on the original in pretty much every way. Overall a high quality tactics-style game. Really hard to find for some reason.

 * Wild 9
 * Platformer
 * An interesting platformer where you do not usually directly attack enemies, but instead have a Gravity Gun ("The Rig") which you can use to manipulate enemies and objects. Killing enemies is done by throwing them into their own traps, spike pits, lasers, grinders, etc. Very fun, very violent.
 * Wild Arms
 * RPG
 * The planet Filgaia is under attack by demons. Are you a bad enough dude to save Filgaia? Incredible music and an interesting Wild West setting make up for the game's poor graphics.
 * Wild Arms 2
 * RPG
 * A non-linear sequel to Wild Arms with a notably darker tone and the same excellent music. The translation is poor but serviceable.
 * Wip3out
 * Racing
 * Worms
 * Strategy
 * Xenogears
 * RPG
 * Your character don't like giant robots or fighting. You then proceed to get into a giant robot and fight people. Famous for its convoluted story and esoteric references (like psychology? Like Judeo-christian mysticism? This is the game for you) and equally infamous for its second disk (which basically becomes a visual novel), made after Square decided to devote all their time and resources to FFVIII. The game starts out really, REALLY fucking slow, but gets better the more you play it. WARNING: May make you paranoid about religion.
