Is it just me, or does anyone else find the PS1 design to be absolutely gorgeous. Like it's such a nice looking console.
Agreed.
I love the original and slim
All ps consoles (excluding the ps3 fat model) have that effect
PS1 and PS2Slim are my favotires. PS3 is 2 curvy 4 me
Especially PSone
This guy is getting me obsessed with retro games now😂
Lol
Same! Been binge watching all his vids
Same here just picked up a sega classic
I've loved older systems since I played my first game system, the old systems are reasons why I subscribed.
oh yeah nothing better
One of my first PlayStation memories, leaving ape escape running to go to the shops with my mum to get a memory card after remembering we needed one P:
Funny shit because I did that like a decade later than you did. But I did it with the ape escape on the psp😂😂😂😂 great memories. Funny cause you triggered an ancient memory, and that it was the same damn game😂😂
@@stevencamp69 damn developers D: good times though :D
Reggie really knows his shit man. Impressive. I love when hes a guest
I couldn’t disagree more
You mean a liar lol... he was getting going to the military 😆
@@nicholaslampherealright, Nicholas..
Rayman and Resident Evil 1 were my first games as a kid having PS1 and to this day they're still stupidly fun. We had good ass games back then.
I remember when I was little I had a ps1 asked my parents for a ps2 but got another ps1 lol
WTF lmao xD
SAME...my dad doesn't know shit about consoles or anything...i asked for an Xbox....and i got another Xbox...1. Everybody that Christmas was laughing hysterically and later on the next day we returned it for a 360 lmao.
tape them together....1+1= PS2 xD
trippin916 so get 4 of them and put. Final Fantasy 7 in the PS4 case #resmaterd
Yeah, when I was young, I had an SNES, MAY have had a Nintendo 64 (I can't remember), then a PS1, PS2, Gamecube, Wii. I also much later on (in the past few years) bought a PS4 (which I gave to my brother for his birthday), and recently, a New 3DS XL. Other portable systems I had was the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP.
I think for many of us, Nintendo is near and dear to our hearts as it was and still is one of the only console systems to offer mostly main-brand (Non-third-party) games made by the company itself. Nintendo is really going somewhere new with the Switch with trying to get more third party software involved, and I just hope they execute their plans well and it all works out great and finally revitalizes Nintendo like it really needs and rightfully deserves.
My top 10 list would be:
Final Fantasy 7
Castlevania SOTN
Crash Team Racing
Metal Gear Solid
Legend of Legia
Resident Evil
Megaman Legends
Tomb Raider
Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver
Legend of Dragoon
Praise you for mentioning SOTN, Crash and especially the Legacy Of Kain series
SOTN is so god damn expensive. I want it but it’s not worth paying $200 for
@@Bitzell Maybe worth considering the iOS/Android version on an ipad/tablet, it's $2.99.
Legacy of Kain games were brilliant!
You should try "Suikoden II", it's masterpiece
Best RPG
I don't know how many people know this but when you play a cd in the playstation push the select button and you get a butch of cool graphics you can play with.
Everybody over 35 knows this
Thanks i did not know this and im 35 😳
I'm 33 and know this. Not that that goes against what you said but still
This is with any console
I was so obsessed with that mini PS1 with the LCD screen attachment, being able to play PlayStation in bed was like a revolutionary idea to me lol
Matthew savant hahaha same
Same as DeathNote I had the same set up and I regret giving it up. Now as an adult it's one of the bigger regrets I've had in my life.
I just bought one never new they existed £50 on eBay
Is the LCD screen exclusive for the ps1 mini? Or is it able to work on another model?
I still have mine; hence why I clicked the video. Lol
Metal Jesus I need to be careful when watching your videos. In the past month I bought an NES, dreamcast, and PS1... You should make a video on how to not destroy your bank account with collecting haha
DS x Reactions I’m about to buy a retron 5 so I don’t have to get a ton of systems, hopefully I don’t regret this 😂
(Edit: I don’t like that controller it comes with, so I’m getting a Super Nintendo controller, and that makes me somewhat concerned but the system would let me play all my games I found without me having to track down 4 different systems that I don’t even have a TV for)
@@democracydignityhumanrights i love the retron 5
Save ya cash mates buy a pc ..even laptops cun run these games ..i got basically the whole ps1 libary on my pscx emmulator
Abraham Herrera Playing the games is only half of the experience. People want to *collect* these games. It just feels nice, looking at your physical library, and playing it on a tv with a real controller on a real system.
@@subswithnovideos-ef6ck fair enough ..a pc is a real system ..as real as it gets ..my ps4 runs all my ps1 and ps2 games on my emmulator ..i just care about playing the game..so it works for me
I'd throw ol' Tony Hawk 2 on that list, it stands out and still stands up to this day and those sound tracks are still bad ass
One of the funneat games ever made!
THPS 2 was a massive improvement on the already-good first
Tony hawk pro skater 3 was pretty bad cuz of the framerate and controls.
The first 2 were really good though.
@@theholydoge7616 tony hawk 3 was great but the draw distance on the ps1 version is annoying for me.
For anyone wondering, all ten of these games in 2022's market would cost ~$366 on eBay. Oh how times have changed.
That's why I just use tonyhax and burn the cds lol
Huh? I just ebayed some of them, they're all like $10-$20 each which is not bad at all.
How did times change? They're way less than they were new.
@@MrSlowestD16 which ones??
@@ben-dn4sv Most all of them, go check. I just checked like 6 of them now, mostly all $10-$20. Some exceptions are Resident Evil 2 (which is expensive), and Chrono Cross which is like $30.
@@MrSlowestD16 ah i just realised you're talking in dollars so you're in the US, i think pal games are little more expensive
Such a fun system to collect for! Next to the Atari 2600, the most games I have for any one console is the PS1. Both are similarly cheap to collect for and have such a massive variety of stuff to choose from. And imports are a total pleasure for the PS1, that could be another lengthy video on its own.
Nice list of games there, and the beauty of it is that my list would be almost 100% different :)

LGR oh man I am really happy to see you here lol your vids inspire me by being inspiring. The sims videos are very Simmy, and quite lounge worthy.
Hey man love your reviews I'm not sure if You,did,you might of but did you do a dos game called one must fall
Haa
Fun fact: Soul Edge was renamed Soul Blade for the American release because there was some dickhead named Tim Langdell who owned an old PC game company named Edge Games, and he claimed to have a trademark on the word "Edge" and always threatened to sue anyone that put Edge in a game or product. It was only recently that the trademark was cancelled because he tried to sue EA in 2010, but of course he lost the case because... well he was just some trademark troll trying to sue one of the largest gaming companies in the world for infringement.
ＡＱＵＡ － チャンネル Edgy
ＡＱＵＡ － チャンネル mirrors blade?
Kefka mean toothbrush in slovakia lol 😂😂
Ok then why he didn't sue WWF for having a PPV named "Over The Edge"?
Reggie always mentions voice acting in games and I love that because it's important to me too just as much as the music and sound effects.
True, it really adds to the experience
Who remembers those demo discs? I think I had as much fun in some of those discs as I did in full games, some memorable mentions as far as demo games are FF8, Brave Fencer Musashi, and Tomb Raider.
In addition I think you guys missed some games such as Crash Bandicoot Racing (CTR), the Twisted Metal and Tony Hawk series, as well as the Mega Man games.
Osvaldo Salgado I personally loved the menus on the demo discs and I wish the PS1 Classic would have used the demo disc menus also the demo discs introduced me to Medievil, Tombi, Kingsley’s Adventure and many more great games
I used to love the demo discs, for a time those where the only games i had...especially the ones that came from pizza hut!!
Pizza hut demos
PlayStation underground demo discs from mail and PlayStation magazines
Yep, mine that came with the system had, the arena level from Twisted Metal, some flying game, Thunder Hawk or something? Also some bloody game in an insane asylum or something, overhead view, it was dark but can't remember the name,
Here are some of my favorites that didn't get mentioned:
- Spyro the Dragon 1-3 (Great platformers and a lot of fun for all ages)
- Tekken 3 (imho the best fighting game on the system)
- T'ai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger (A game by Activision and Dreamworks that is basically a badass video-game version of Kung Fu Panda)
- Toy Story 2 (Another great platformer and one of the best licensed games out there)
- Crash Team Racing (An amazing Mario Kart clone with Crash Bandicoot and friends)
- Tomb Raider 2 (Really doesn't need any introduction)
+BloodyMastersword Glad you mentioned Toy Story 2, very under rated. It has great worlds to explore.
I just want to comment to say I agree about TS2. An excellent licensed game indeed.
TS2 is just great. Definitely an overlooked game that everyone should give a try.
+BloodyMastersword Toy story 2 is pretty dope, I used to play it my n64.
+BloodyMastersword Oh nice, I actually picked up T'ai Fu and Tomb Raider 2 at the pawn shop the other day.
C'mon guys... Die Hard? Point Blank?
Don't get cute, this is supposed to be an essentials list.
Twisted Metal 1 & 2
Metal Gear Solid
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2
Final Fantasy 7, 8, & 9
Soul Reaver
+Couldn't think of a good name so i guess this is it Twisted Metal Pss
Metal Gear Solid overrated, every single person know that, in every single fucking PSone list that game is ever and ever the #1
Tony Hawk Pass
Final Fantasy overrated
Soul Reaverr Pass
ThreeDaysOfDan I know, I see many people saying good things about the game, I never played it (sincerously) in one chance I will start playing it...but I dont simply dont know why the necesity of mention it, every person in the world know about that game, so...whats the point?
+MetalSonicodraco7342 you must be a troll.
Conrad Ritchey No...its the true, the game MGS could be good, but how is the necesity to make it on every fucking stupid single PSone list?
Maybe because it is that good....?
Just a thought though...
Silent hill. Metal gear. Ff7. Legacy of kaine. Tomb raider. Missing some good games
Your channel has really inspired me to start my PlayStation 1 collection. A lot of games where lost in my many moves and I want to acquire them all back one day. So far I found my old Gray PS1 at my moms and I opened it up, cleaned it, gave it a nice overhaul and plugged it back in. The last game in there was a greatest hits mortal kombat trilogy. The system still works. Nonetheless this makes me love my PS3 even more since it can play ps1 and ps2 games.
Mine is a SCPH-9001. My PlayStation level is over 9000
102
Matthew28845 Is that a Dragon Ball reference??
XD
Matthew28845 What? 9000?!?
Mine is SCPH-9002 Model :)
Legend of the Dragoon (Everyone forgets about this amazing game)
Spyro Year of the Dragon,
Twisted Metal 2,
Tomb Raider,
Metal Gear Solid
French4Assassin cant believe they forgot about spyro and tomb raider lol
I agree, some of the old gran turismos don't hold up well considering they are simulations and we have gotten better at simulating things Twisted metal is a way better choice for a car game. Though I haven't played all the way through chrono yet I really enjoyed LoD so that would get my vote here as well. And spyro was a great 3d adventure game not sure why they didn't have that.
Twisted metal 4 is better ;)
Edvinas Kilbauskas no worst one, I like 3 best
Played twisted metal 2 so much
I remember how cool the small PSone with the screen used to be. Not everyone had a TV in their room and it was so cool to have a little playstation on your nightstand. I recently got to test one while working at a used game store and that screen still holds up and those speakers are loud as hell. The build quality was amazing!
Reggie and Jason (I hope I got his name right) are so similar to me in their unapologetic love for nearly ALL game genres. As I get older (currently 39), I notice that I have the patience to learn and appreciate odd or even, dare I say, cute? games? - the point being - anything, so long as it is entertaining and quality.. I watch these guys ALL THE TIME...so many vids I bet I've seen 20x or more by now...they're just the BEST.. Like, I consider these guys like family members I haven't met yet lol. Love these guys!!!!!!!!!!!!
mobaby1979 same man
Sheep Raider! One of my favorite games on the PS1. Parappa the Rappa, MediEvil, Spryo 2, Driver, Twisted Metal, Wipeout, the system has a ton of great games.

@@sirarthur5213 Not everyone likes RPGs
@@sirarthur5213 Better off getting it on pc, psn on ps3 or ps4 since it would only be about 10 bucks. An original copy used is like 40 dollars plus. Besides the newer versions have better load times.
What about armored core?
To be honest you're better off getting a PS3 and hitting up the PSOne classics on the PS Store. SotN is stupid expensive! It's sad how much pricing is going up.
Hell I can't even find an original PSX for under $40-$50. I saw it a few years ago for $15!
guess i'm the only one that enjoyed the Gex and Tomba series' lol
Die Hard Trilogy was one of my favorites. I couldn't wait to get home from school to play it. That, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy 7, Metal Gear Solid and many more.
Die hard trilogy was one of the best on the system
How are you not at 1 million subs yet? You’re one of my favorite retro gaming collectors out there.
doesnt make sense does it
How did Metal Gear Solid not make the cut? Others I'd recommend: Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 & 2, Silent Hill, Apocalypse and Twisted Metal 2.
+Chris Roberts There's an Xbox version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 with much better graphics. It's called Pro Skater 2X.
Because those games always make the cut. The pool of PlayStation games is endless
+Chris Roberts The first two I thought of were Metal Gear Solid and Tomb Raider. There's also the original GTA, which wasn't great by today's standard, but it's the genesis of a pretty big franchise. It's always good to go back to the roots. (Like they did with Gran Turismo.)
N64 Tony Hawk games felt way better and looked better.
Chris Roberts Metal Gear Solid and Tomb Raider are a must ! Tekken 3 was a favorite of mine and was a hell of good on that platform .
The Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver is a must. Superb story telling and great graphics for the time. It is such an underrated series.
Josh Bell all of that series is amazing
I was looking for this comment
That game was SICKKKKK!!! They need to do a Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver Remastered for PS4
The Dreamcast version is the way to go regarding that game.
6:37 - That left thumb stick has seen some battles. A veteran.
LEGACY OF KAIN: SOUL REAVER (1999)one of the greatest games of all time!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Indeed!
Thanks for including Die Hard Trilogy. Always felt this great game has been overlooked. I love the driving part.
No prob James. A true hidden gem
Agreed! Especially the first chapter!
"Get the hell outda here!!"
The PS1 is one of the cheapest consoles to collect for and has so many great games! Even typing this is making me want to play some Xenogears :P
yeah im collecting for the ps1 and ps2, im starting with more cheap games and time will go on i will work my way up
+Sterling “TheOddSter” S. Just get the Japanese import of Einhander. Silent Hill is not even among that group of expensive. You can get it for Around $30 complete. $40 brave fencer. The others are redonk.
No Fun Intended on realy.....CRASH LITERALLY SELLS FOR MORE than 40 dollars
odeiup It only just started to. Blame the N. Sane Trilogy coming out and causing people to want to get the old games. Nostalgia makes the prices go up... happened to pokemon games when GO came out. It'll go down soon.
Looking at prices now...Symphony of the Night is going for £200-£300 here in the UK...!!! That's most annoying! Saw it everywhere when it first came out at the normal £30-odd..... Oh well.... **it happens! Other ways to find it, I'm sure ;-) Great video gents BTW.....
The same thing happened to me with my first console. N64. Understandable raddical Reggie.
Great games, Silent Hill --- is fantastic.
That Castlevania game got a remake on the psp. The ps1 still holds up.
Even 3 years later (2018) the PS1 is one of the easiest and Accessible systems to purchase for.
It is a good console
It isn’t a fun console too
When I got my PS1 it was like $15 now I see them on sale for $40
@@nitramsk8 now I see them online for $60+
@@timelord2052 yeap just got one for 40 with 2 controllers, I also got a clear case black clear case for it
Glad to know my friend and I weren’t the only ones turning a ps1 upside down to play a rpg
Im guilty too 😂
@maria farmer made the disc reader work lol
"This game is massively like good" -Reggie
TheGreaterG8r What time?
My man is always the wordsmith
For a second it sounded like he said "this game is like Vaseline good!"😂
I also like, “you’re going through this massive castle basically trying to get to the final boss”. Dude just breaks it down so eloquently.
He's just such a good guy you can tell by his profound love for PlayStation stuff
I remember getting really hooked on the first Oddworld game - that might have been the first PS1 that really got me. It was so weird and different from anything else up to that point - part platformer, part puzzler, amazingly graphic graphics, and refreshingly original storyline. I just remember putting in a ton of time on the game, beating it, then learning that there's an alternate ending if you save all of the little Oddworld slave people. So then I was unable to rest until I "truly" finished the game. As a result, I didn't have any time for Resident Evil, Rayman, or Gran Turismo. Too busy with Oddworld...
Great video guys! Can't believe you didn't put MGS, Tekken 3, or Silent Hill!
I was always really impressed with the sound quality of the PS1, even now when I go back and play need for speed high stakes
13 year old me bought a PS1 with Final Fantasy 7 and had no idea I needed a $35 memory card to save my progress. Those were the days...
The exact same thing happened to me and my mom was nice enough to drive the entire hour round trip all over again to get me one the very same day. I remember how blown away I was by that game as it was my first ever FF and my introduction to RPGs in general. I barely came out of my room for an entire week lol.
The extra AV out on the first PS1 model was due to a lack of official cables when they first came out. I had to solder an RGB scart cable directly to the board for my Japanese ps1 console. Also, people liked to connect them to a seperate stereo system that wasn't connected to their TV. My rgb monitor at the time had no speakers so I used the phono connectors.
MJR: "What else have we got?"
Both: *rubbing their hands together*
NO YOU DIDNT TALK ABOUT SPYRO WHATS WRONG WITH YOU
😋
IKR
Exactually what I was thinking.
+Pickle avenger Let's plays OMG same :3
not a hidden gem
The Spyro games are one of the few ps1 games that aren't outdated and still playable today. The third one, Spyro: Year Of The Dragon, would be my favorite but all three are really good! And they have excellent graphics even with today's standards.
AwesomenessMan I thought spyro 3 was a ps2 game when I was little and only played it on ps2. Graphics threw me off
I Agree I'd just tell people to just get all three Spyro games they're still awesome games YOTD was my favorite Spyro too.
Damn. I remember being 9 or 10 years old at my friends house. He showed me Metal Gear Solid, we played a little bit. I instantly fell in love with the Cyborg Ninja boss fight. When Psycho Mantis made the controller move, even as a kid i noticed that this is a new way of videogames and how interaction with videogames evolved. I only had a Commodore 64 at that time, so it was incredible. It was a great time. My parents bought the PlayStation later, when it was released as a PS One. The years prior i went to the shopping mall in the summer holidays, playing the crap out of the Tekken 3 demo or fighting with older kids, because they always played "Battle Arena Toshinden 3" and never let the younger kids play it. Fun times. And when the N64 came out, i constantly ran from one shop to another to play these consoles for free. These feelings. :) From time to time my older brother, who moved out when i was a kid, came to us with his PlayStation and i played "Soul Blade" for days. Damn. I feel old.
11 PS1 Games I played A Lot:
- In The Hunt
- Driver
- Front Mission 3
- Vigilante 8
- Fisherman's Bait
- Bushido Blade 2
- Medal Of Honor: Underground
- Super Puzzle Fighter 2
- Tekken 3
- The Raiden Project
- Rival Schools
#3 #3 #3 all day long bro. All about #3
y'all forgotten Tomb raider series
They were the best, many hours spent in my younger years playing them.
You forgot Spyro, Legend of Dragoon, Megaman Legends and Ape Escape
You forgot that this is his opinion
they mentioned ape escape
Armored Core, Twisted Metal 2, and Jet Moto 1&2 were the first games I got with my PS1. Love those games still!
Road Rash 3D, that game kicks ass! And the soundtrack is just Rockin’! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎮🎸
Hell YEAH!!! The soundtrack is Amazing too.
Yes! Loved it. First the Road Rash on PC then 3D Road Rash on PsOne, my childhood was awesome
I definitely think Crash Bandicoot 3 is my favorite game on the system. Spent hours on that game and enjoyed every second of it.
Dakota Wray my 2 favorite games for ps1 are spyro riptos rage and crash bandicoot 3
Gran Turismo was the game that introduced my interest in cars.
And that second model PlayStation you showed is the one I have and with the parallel (or serial?) port, my PlayStation is able to play games on backup CDs. And I have a LOT of games to cover about the PlayStation but I don't want this comment to drag out any longer.
I got into video game collecting because of MetalJesusRocks.
Where’s Tomb Raider series’s, twisted metal series, MGS. OH man some awesome s games. Really takes me back
Just want to give you a big thank you. I recently began watching your videos because I started to collect video games around May of this year. Your videos have helped tremendously. I have a decent collection right now. Nothing like yours, but I'm getting there haha. But thank you for all of the advice and tips you provide within your videos!
+Oscar Adams Thanks very much Oscar!
would love to see how you progress on your collection! Make some videos :D!
+MetalJesusRocks I would totally add Wipeout to that list :D
I like the idea of this video, but wouldn't it be better to suggest 10 fairly cheap games? Symphony of the Night is one of the best games on the system, yes, but also one of the most expensive.
When I first started collecting for ps1, I searched for the cheap must haves, like Tomb Raider, Crash bandicoot games, spyro games, syphon filter, medievil.
+satanslegacy No, I really feel like it's best to mention the better games because people could get potentially find the games at Pawn shops, thrift stores or just borrow them from a friend. I have no control over prices and therefore it's best not to focus on it.
MetalJesusRocks +1 to that, it wud be nice to get some " good but cheap buying guide" but i like this because it lets me no what to look out for, cus if ur like me u will never EVER pay retail for games, and again this lets me no what to look for.
+satanslegacy I agree they made it sound like its cheap to collect for and sure some of the crap games are but the rare RPGs are not at all for the collector with a skinny wallet and finding them in the wild is almost a thing of the past....I have a complete collection of RPGS and Smups and it cost me a fair amount for sure and I started in 1995 whn the prices were MUCH better but finishing the collection now 20 years later I spent some bucks to do so....
Gaming God yea im glad i still have all my final fantasies for ps1 just need origins and chronicles to have them all, just havnt felt like getting them cuz i already have chrono trigger and ff2(4) on snes and 1 on NES and have dawn of souls on gba for ff2(real 2)
AquaDonkey69 480p
Yeah I hear you I am working on my SNES collection now and holy shit have prices went crazy! I am just glad I am done with PS1 because the market is going nuts with that now also....its a buyers market now because in the future a lot of floks wont be able to afford it.
You guys nailed all those games, I had everyone of them back in the day and I can testify they are great games to have in your collection. Nice Video!
(1:36) If I recall correctly, the RCA jacks have a DC out mixed in because it was likely meant to be used with a Handycam RF modulator to output to older and lower-end TVs that didn't have composite video inputs. Some Sony Handycam cameras of the time had the same arrangement for A/V out.
I would honestly recommend the first Metal Gear Solid also, as a way for the new user to get used to the 3-D at the time. Fantastic game and quite challenging. And I would love to recommend Worms: Armageddon for more hilarious yet challenging tactics. Also:
- Tekken 2
- Tomb Raider
- Spyro the Dragon
- Medievil
- Medal of Honor
- Twisted Metal 2
- Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey
Here's my quick 5:
FF Tactics, Breath of Fire 3, Harvest Moon BTN, Twisted Metal 2, Tony Hawk PS 2.
Its kinda weird how much i enjoy MetalJesus's channel when we have completly opposite taste in games. lol
I think it's because of the general discussion. He likes video games, you like video games. Your _tastes in them_ are opposite, but you still have a common general interest.
Me and my best friend are like this with music.
I like your list better, also I'll add the Spider-Man games to your list.
I’m definitely a PlayStation guy so always great to come back to this video and PS1 games definitely hold their value to this day… metal gear sold is definitely a classic on that
My brother had the PS1 and I was an N64 kid. BUT for the PS1 I loved Gran Turismo 2 and Spyro, that little dragon controlled by analog sticks was amazing to a little kid. And this week ive been replaying them both on a GPD xd +
Twisted metal was an awesome franchise
Would love too see twisted metal 2 remade with today's graphics. Just update graphics and maybe add a car or two but keep it simple.
The first one is really bad if you go back and play it, 2 was ridiculously glitched and out of control but, I look at them through nostalgic eyes and love it. I stopped after 3. Black was fine but
To those who may actually care, that cat on the PocketStation is named Toro (In the US it's just called Sony Cat) and is to this day, the official mascot of PlayStation in Japan.
This was my most used system. The genre of Vehicular Mayhem [Twisted Metal and Vigilante 8 type games] was born and died on this one console. I have clocked so many hours in the Twisted Metal series, love them so much.
Not true, it actually carried on to the ps 2 & gamecube era, one game that instantly comes to mind is wwe crush hour
My first three games I bought for the PS1 were Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, and Need For Speed. Fun games, Fun times!!!
I like watching these videos.... a throwback to my childhood. Good times.
Final Fantasy VII, Resident Evil 2, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid are my top 5
All now above the average price where I'd take a punt on eBay unfortunately.
All PS1 games are so old and very hard to get, so since when you buy them you dont support the developers anymore i would really recommend pirating them
ThexXxXxOLOxXxXx true, but sometimes I still like to play old games on the original hardware, just for the added nostalgia kick.
+Alastair Ward Lol i dont have one anymore and they're nowhere to be found in my country, so i have epsxe both in my PC and android phone :D
ThexXxXxOLOxXxXx I haven't gone looking for a PS1 of late but more that I think about it there's an odd spot between the GameCube/PS2 and then the SNES/Megadrive era where the PS1 can't be found in those cash for consoles stores easily but more are they going for big bucks on any classified ads.
Mortal Kombat Trilogy, best MK ever !!
you forgot Metal gear solid , silent hill, parasite eve , final fantasy 7, dino crisis 1 and 2, resident evil 1 and 3
ALL the classics.
yes i love dino crisis 1 and 2 and parasite eve
GT1 still has that unique feature, where one could upgrade your family station wagon into a racing machine by "installing" a racing chassis ... a feature that should have never been removed from the sequels.
Gotta love Big Reg, he just exudes warmth, kindness and knowledge.
Extremely late to the comments here but a tip for anyone playing PS1 games on their PS2. While you do need a PS1 memory card to save games and load your saves during play, you can copy your PS1 save files over to the much larger PS2 memory card and store them there. Meaning you can basically use a PS2 memory card as a bank for your save files, and get away with only using a single PS1 memory card to load/play those save files. All you need to do is copy the files back and forth as needed. I have hundreds of save files for PS1 and I would need probably dozens of PS1 memory cards if I didn’t do this.
Seriously?! I've got to try this!
i accidentally wrecked my light gun when i first bought flat screen tv... thought the gun was broke and took it apart... boy was i pissed when i found out the reason why it didn't work to begin with
lol. damn! 😅😏
The caption is very good.
Thanks for noticing the English transcriptions!!

+MetalJesusRocks sorry to bother i been collecting for the ps1 for quite sometime the street fighter games and the cross overs like marvel vs capcom and x men cs street fighter are giving me so much trouble idk if to pay the 90 or 80 dollars
+MetalJesusRocks I love that you're doing subs now, it just adds to the quality that you already bring everytime
Front Mission 3 - one of the BEST tactical RPGs ever. You just must play this :) Legend of Dragoon is cool as well. Alien Trilogy - must have FPS, as well as Disruptor and Lifeforce Tenka by Naughty Dog and Insomniac.
+MocnyBrowarek front mission3 i think is underrated as hell
Hans Schmidt It has great realistic story, cool characters, GREAT mechanics, good graphics and music and is just fun and addictive... + it has 2 campaigns 26h each. Imho it puts FF: Tactics to shame.
Agree! I just found out literally like a month ago that Front Mission 4 exists on the PS 2. I'm super excited to play it.
sandplasma There's also Front Mission 5, but it never came out of Japan... BUT there is english translation out there! :) I love every FM game, but FM3 is imho masterpiece - it did everything right and it's never boring, even on 5th playthrough on my Vita it's still addictive.
:D nice to hear, yeah front mission 3 is so intense and epic i dont played it like 10years but ihave to complete it after this time again!
Watching this in 2023 blows my mind! The psone (yep, thats the name), still looks new and clean to me. It's so bizarre the phone I'm watching this on can connect to an 80" 4k tv and bluetooth a controller, upscale the games and I can take everything with me on a whim... Still doesn't hold a candle to getting off school, nabbing my copy of resident evil or metal gear, riding my bike to my buddies house and showing them where I was in the game on their dads "massive" projection big-screen tv.
My 1st PlayStation: 1999. Birthday gift with a copy of driver, No memory card. I played and went through the whole game on a weekend. Never turning off the system.
One thing you didn't include is using the PS3. The nice thing about the PS3 is that you use it on an HDTV. You can use the wireless dualshock 3 controller and you don't need any memory cards, it makes a virtual memory card on the hard drive.
I know that's a little more convenient. But using a ps1 on an old school tv just looks so much better.
I personally think it looks better on the ps3. I think the overall image looks better. Im probably more sensitive to an interlaced image then progressive scan.
Well i guess it also depends on your tv also. i have two in my house and one looks better for retro stuff then the other. But i just like the feel of playing on my ps1 anyways. Ive got all the playstations lined up and hooked up to my tv :D.
i still need to buy a older tv for my ps1 and ps2 though :/. i havent had one for years .
I love playing PS1 on PS3
grand turismo is a must!
Your friend seems pretty cool too. I remember seeing some of his gem picks and they looked pretty legit.
Reggie?? Nahh he's not a friend.......he's family😁😁😁
Spyro games, Crash games, Marvel Vs Capcom, Guilty Gear, Street Fighter Alpha games, endless fighter games, Saga Frontier 1&2, Star Ocean 2, Dragon Quest, Gran Turismo 2, Need For Speed games, Final Fantasy 7,8,9, Final Fantasy Tactics, Alundra, Tomba 1&2, Blasto!, Dino Crisis 1&2, Resident Evil 1,2,3, Metal Gear Solid, Syphon Filter1&2, Gex1,2,3, Breath of Fire 3,4, Silent Hill1&2, Megaman X4,X5,X6, basically EVERY GENRE, the PS1 absolutely killed it and knocked it out of the park it’s absolutely overwhelming and the amount of time I spent on some of these games easily exceeded 100 hours, etc etc the PS1 was a force to be reckoned with it amazes me that the N64 and Saturn lasted as long as they did the N64 specifically had nothing but platformers and like 1 or 2 games of each genre that were “notable” i think it’s hilarious that many people deem those same 5 N64 games as “legendary” (ocarina of time, goldeneye, smash, mario kart) where as the PS1 had a HUGE library, of high quality, diverse, high end games from developers that simply abandoned Nintendo due to their rigidity and stupid decisions regarding the design of the system and what they allowed on the N64. Saying this as someone who has both and grew up with both. The Playstation is a great system and is timeless and its emergence marks the beginning of Nintendo’s great downfall in gaming until the arrival of the Wii.
The 2 sony cats are named Toro Inoue and Kuro
Don't forget "Need For Speed III Hot Pursuit" !! Awesome ! Must to have ! :)
MARCUS it’s on ps2 i think.
Classic Gamer2151 NFS Hot Pursuit 2 was on PS2. NFS III Hot Pursuit was the 3rd Need For Speed game, and it was on PC and PS1.
MARCUS Also Need for Speed High Stakes is good.
I prefer the PC version though.
I had the one you have, I had no idea they removed those ports and I never used the parallel port though I think I used it for an action replay from UK for cheats (not pirating I was about 8 years old Lol) cool vid learnt something new! Also Crash was my favourite game as a kid back when you'd play 1 or 2 games all year round and Personally I prefer Crash Bandicoot 2 to Warped as the polar bear level and the humour with N Cortex is just amazing. Soul Edge was changed due to that guy Tim Langdell who patented the word Edge and was a super patent troll towards anyone who used the word edge in any way shape or form, Larry Bundy Jr Did a fantastic video about it for Fact Hunt.
Memory cards were such a nuisance. I’m so glad we don’t have to deal with them any more.
Jonathan Roe yea but accessories are fun and you could also just take a memory card to your friends house.
No they weren't. They useful as fuck. You never ran out of space even though it was only 8MB, it would always stay in your system, unless you wanted to go over to a friend's place. What's inconvenient about that?
Reggie i just want to hug you. You look so huggable. I bet smell like coco butter and vanilla marshmellows
Hip Hop Hooligan lol
lol u are weird
reggie smells like legal weed and colt 45
racial not racist! go ahead and laugh
fuckin lol hahaha
Yessss! Die Hard Trilogy! I played that game so much & never knew the mouse could be used haha!
+Crazy Joe Also a lightgun.
Who's here to get game ideas as to what iso to download for the hacked ps1 classic?
You apparently
The parallel port took a cartridge based Gameshark. The Gameshark later moved to the CD based one we all know of now.
You skipped another controller, there was a dual analog controller that did not vibrate. Came out before the Dual Shock
Prisoner Alex Yep, it was only supported by a few games though.
Gran tourismo killed the plain analog controller. The rumble made gt so awesome.
actually they did mention it but tthey do not have it
My brother and I opened up one of these badboys on Christmas morning in 97', along with a Playstation, Road Rash, Gameday 97', and Crash Bandicoot 2. Best Christmas ever, though the dual analog left stick broke and freely moved in the socket several months later. There was a concave cup on the end of those sticks, and they were not coated in rubber. I still prefer the concave feel and curse Sony for ever moving away from it.
If you like rpg's the ps1 is king in that area, the must have games on my list are these, Brigandine is the most addictive game on the system, criminally overlooked and a major hidden gem, it is getting expensive as i gave like 80 bucks for my replacement copy, a must have thats worth every penny, next is vandal hearts 1 and 2. simply awesome games, going up in price but Reasonable unlike Brigandine. next is chrono cross and final fantasy 7, get them now while they are not to pricy, ps1 rpg's are sadly getting expensive as hell and i will not ever be able to buy alot of the ones i still want for my collection, i only collect games i love to play, im more of a bioshock,singularity,god of war, uncharted, max payne type of gamer, i love action and 1st or 3rd person shooters, but i still at times crave that rpg type of experience with games like tales of vespera or eternal sonata, but i really love the ones like knights of the old republic and jade empire, anyway those are not ps1 games but my point is that if you want that real true rpg experience then the ps1 is the way to go, the 1st games i mentioned are musts but also check out games like the growlancer series and lunar or suikoden 2, and well there are hundreds so just check out the plethora of rpg's on Ps1 and sadly be ready to break your bank cause alot of them are expensive as hell and only getting more expensive
you should check vagrant story. :)
Check out Legend of the Dragoon
Ive played vagrant story and legend of dragoon, both kick ass, my fav is chrono cross
brandon whitson I like RPGs, I usually check out my local black market.
brandon whitson that game is 100 for used copies there’s like one and most around 300 all the way up to 900 damn
PSOne Slim w/ LCD sceen for the win. Play it by itself, or on a television. Built like a tank, and hasn't failed me for the past 15 years. Only thing to be careful of is the AC Adaptor...be kind to it. If you have replace it they sell for $11 on Amazon. So many memories of chilling with my father and brother, blasting at each other in Crash Team Racing, swinging through cities in Spiderman, or getting into street fights in Jackie Chan Stuntmaster.
Oh the Guncon! That takes me back lol. I remember being so disappointed that the gun slide on top didn't move or kickback like on the Namco arcades.
crash 3 and twisted metal 2 were my life as a young kid
the reason soul egde was renamed soul Calibur was because some company named edge games copyrighted the name edge and gone after other companies who used the word edge in there product names. the creators of Soul Calibur didn't want to get into some legal troubles and decided to rename Soul Edge to Soul Calibur in its North America release. also fun fact: they intentionally misspelled Calibur just in case someone copyrighted the word Calibur.
Great recommendations! Always enjoy hearing from Reggie as well 👍🏻
I just pickes up a ps1 for 12 bucks with controller at a local thrift shop. Just needes an ac cord and memory card. Worth it to relive the memories.
Still running??
