There's a really great PS1 game from Konami called Hellnight. I really think you would enjoy it
This must be the first time I've heard a youtuber say anything about vampire hunter D before 👍🏼 I completed it when I was in my teens over 20 years ago and this upload brought back a tidal wave of nostalgia my brain has had locked away for decades 🤣
Play it again with Duckstation
To me Its 2024 and the PS1 is still Awesome! I love watching your videos to see what games are out there that i didn't know exist. I enjoy the thrill of the game hunt! Thank you for another great video!! 👍 😎👍
Thanks for watching Nicko! Glad you enjoy the videos 🙂
Little Ralph looks awesome.
It’s well worth playing!
@andrewdowell6474 not for the 300 bucks it goes for.
@@PT-vv3ep 300 is a bargain
Shame it's titled that way lol
It's pretty good and a little hard
Silent bomber, cardinal syn, wild 9, assault, terracon, millenium soldier: expendable, adventures of Lomax, some of hidden gems that come to mind.
Great suggestions!
You are an awesome commentor😊
Oh man, Silent Bomber cardinal Syn Wild 9 are some of my absolute ps1 favorites. thanks for mentioning them and it is a shame that they did not make it on the part 1 or part 2 lists :(
Silent Bomber and Wild 9 are great games! Specially Silent Bomber, imo one of the best action games period on the PS1
@@Tenpouin I have to agree
Really wish Ghoul Panic wasn't a PAL exclusive. Great list of games!
Thank you for mentioning Beyond the Beyond 🥰
No problem!
You should mention when certain games are PAL only. There is no Ghoul Panic for the NTSC region.
stuff like the region and if the game's been translated could be added under the title of the game on the top right and it would help a lot!
While that's true, it doesn't usually happens the other way around. When north american youtubers talk about games only released in NTSC region don't actually mention it.

i love Strider 2 and Speed Punks!
Saiyuki Journey West is such an easy recommendation. The magic system is so much fun and has incredible effects. If you haven’t played it you should! Great music and great fun.
Quickly has become one of my favorite gaming channels!
Thank you!
Always was for me that opening song hit my inner child
youve probably already covered it but one cool game was ray tracers. its an anime type racing game w unlockable cars and characters
Thank you man , might try that out
this channel is so legit, could not make my game list for emulation without it. thanks!
Great channel and some awesome recommendations. No one talks about Kagero: Deception 2 though and it’s a shame. Fantastic game about luring people to their death in your house of traps. Like Home Alone except dark and gothic.
Adventures of Little Ralph is super fun and memorable but it can get hard too! Dont be confused by the nice visuals
00:08 Dude, I love SILVER! What an amazing game! I played the hell out of it as a kid!
Watching this in the morning with a coffee in my hand is the perfect way to start my day and get some good gaming ideas.
12:50 Never heard of this one before but the stages are so gorgeous and colorful 😍
Uprising X, Backyard Soccer, Top Shop, Battle Hunter, 102 Dalmatians : Puppies to the Rescue, and 40 Winks are pretty good, underrated gems as well.
For those who don't want to look for a PS1 copy of Battle and Chase; you can pick up the Mega Man X Collection on PS2/Gamecube. You can unlock it just by beating the first 3 games. The Mega Man Anniversary Collection (PS2/Xbox/Gamecube) also has both the Power Battle arcade games as unlocks.
Awesome recommedations, thank you
Glad you like them!
K1 World Grand Prix Kaimakuban, Pop'N' Tanks, Dioramos, Rakugaki Showtime, Misadventure of Tron Bonne
RayForce Unofficial Indie Animation Film will be planning stage this year going to production design began with the new cinematic universe.
You had a light gun game in the video. Whether or not light guns work with modern LED TVs is a valid question.
There are a lot of great games I have played on this list as well as ones I still have yet to play and even a few I hadn't even heard of previously. Thank you for the reminder and for showing some interesting games that are new to me. Variable Geo seems to often get overlooked as a fighting game series and part of that might be because it originated from the eroge scene. However, the games had solid fighting mechanics and a charmingly quirky theme that I think a lot of gamers would enjoy. The games released under the Advanced Variable Geo name don't have any kind of eroge content to them and more players should give them a try. The eroge games in the series are also worth checking out for those who like those kinds of games.
"Beyond the beyond" is the game made by Camelot Software Planning, between "Shining Force 3" and "Golden Sun".
Little Ralph looks pretty fun! I may have to give it a shot! I remember seeing Saiyuki in a magazine and my friend was really interested in it. As far as I know, he never played it. I didn't either lol! Mega Man Battle and Chase always seemed fun, though I haven't played it myself. I think it's unlockable on the Anniversary Collection?
I don't know why but the first one looks so familiar to me 🤔🤔🤔
Never heard about Ray crisis determination, definitely I check it out.
Thanks for another hidden gems section... I love it.
Hope you enjoy it!
It’s on the switch and ps4 too in an Hd collection from M2! Also check out Galactic Attack / RayForce / Layer Section (ridiculous that it has 3 names) also in that collection and on the Saturn. It’s the best game in the series.
@@opaljk4835 really? Oh thanks for the info... I check it out 👍
Ooooooooooh I love Advanced VG2
It would be good to mention that Strider 2 would not have been possible if not for the character's popularity due to his redesign in Marvel vs. Capcom. His appearance and all his moves are completely based on his MvC1 appearance and play style.
I wish JRPGs on the Playstation were a dime-a-dozen! Beyond the Beyond & Legend of Dragoon (complete-in-box/CiB) are just under $50! Xenogears (CiB) is $150! Suikoden II is $230 (CiB)!! Persona (CiB) is $390 & Persona 2 (CiB) is $370! Valkyrie Profile (CiB) is $250!! Vagrant Story (CiB) is $90! Tales of Destiny 2 (CiB) is $215! Thousand Arms (CiB) is $145 - I shudder to think how that price increases when bundled with the mail-in music/multi-media CD!!!
Little extra info: "Speed Punks" is the US name of the game, PAL territories might know this game under the slightly different name "Speed Freaks".
Why they felt the need to change that name is beyond me though...
omg i was sleeping on vampire hunter d! its DMC on the ps1!!!
Some awesome looking games here! The Adventures of Little Ralph looks like a sweet side-scroller hybrid, and Vampire Hunter D looks intriguing. Speed Punks I’ve never heard of, but looks like a solid cart racer. Awesome selections here man!
Glad you found something new man 🙂
I straight up love Beyond the Beyond. It's a guilty pleasure JRPG that Reddit /jrpg hates and downvotes me every time I defend it
Saiyuki one of my favorite game on pc1. Perfectly playing right now with emul on no apple phone.
Man, Speed Punks is my ultimate top 3 PS1 games
Such a fun little racer!
@@thatvideogamesshow awesome game!
The Adventures of Little Ralph reminds me a little bit of One Piece Round the Land for the PS2.
Sentient is the PS1 ultimate hidden gem, can you imagine a remake with full AI conversation?
Adventures of Little Ralph is like a 400 dollar game. Definitely worth emulating or getting an OFE
I misread Speed Punks as "Seed Punks" for a second and got very, very concerned lmao.
You might prefer Vampire D Hunter instead.
i happened to play and finish Speed Punks/Freaks not long ago, i loved it but damn the physics are more akin to a simulator than an arcade kart racing game.
Take a zero off the going price for The Adventures of Little Ralph and I would certainly have that in my library.
i did nothave beyond the beyond on my radar , thanks for that gem!!!
Hope you enjoy it!
advenced VG2 looks like King Of Fighter 99
Saiyuki is very charming game, quiet unique at its time.
Totally agree!
Terracon, fantastic journey pinball, ct special forces.
I've always been really interested in beyond the beyond, since I love golden sun, but I've heard some bad things about it so I'm not sure I'll get around to it
Nice list most of these games I have not heard of
Glad you found something new!
Ok after years of wondering what bgm you used for intro, i just found it was tekken 2 intro bgm...where nina siting on chair..
Thats why this bgm very familiar to me...🤣🤣🤣
And yes...i play tekken 2 on psx on that time... 96-97..
Damn...what a good ol’ times.....🤣🤣🤣
Classic!
Been playing megaman battle & chase for years. Fun little game when you get used to it.
100%!
I've seen so many hidden gems videos for PS1 & PS2 its practically every game by now lol
Just an fyi to others, i beat Vampire Hunter D 10 years ago, and the tank controls mixed with platforming sections are tediously janky and hard, but it is a good game
Failed to mention just how crazy expensive and rare little ralph is haha play it anyway u can
I miss that time where we getting a lot of good kart games, I miss them specially on PC now
You should do some graphically impressive arcade games
America got the shaft on lightgun games for the ps1 and ps2 wish more of them were released in the US
Beyond the Beyond looks really cool! Definitely going to try it and Speed Punks out. Always on the lookout for PS1 stuff to play.
Have fun!
Beyond the Beyond is basically a lesser version of the Golden Sun games made by the same Devs. If you haven't already played them, I strongly recommend the GS games instead
@@XannolcZ I've got a few of those in the list.
Actually started Beyond the Beyond the other day. I only played for about an hour and a half so far but it honestly feels like it's going to be a slog. There's something about the writing, the battles. I just don't know haha.
@@BlyndFyre2077 exactly why I suggested Golden Sun instead lol. Beyond the Beyond has a decent idea but the execution is a bit off. Camelot didn't figure things out yet and the localization almost feels machine translated. Another good one TVGS covered is Tear Ring Saga. It's basically Fire Emblem.
In the unlikely event that you haven't played them: the Breath of Fire games are chef's kiss
@@XannolcZ I do like the Breath of Fire games.
5:43 dude! I always wondered where the game of variable geo was! They had an anime in which the loser would have to take off all their clothes. It was so out there. They had a tan chick i couldnt wait to see lose lol.
This reminds me of time crisis
Love me some Time Crisis!
Good selection
Thank you!
Beyond the Beyond, a game not talked about enough!!!!
I'll second that!
I played ray crisis..but it was named ray storm..
Vampire Hunter D is the closest thing to Devil May Cry on the PlayStation 1. This was Devil May Cry before there was a Devil May Cry game.
PS1 Gem time happy you’re back
More on the way!
Does Saiyuki Journey West have towns to walk through like Shining Force?
Oh funny
I'm playing Strider 2014 right now
Strider is my favorite Ninja
Great series!
Strider and its sequel on PS1 are very fun. Too bad the price for the physical copy is way too high. Emulator will be a better choice for those that dont have the game.
CTR mention.
I love all your videos, thank you sir.
Cheers Nick!
Finally, Advanced V.G. 2 was mentioned on your channel. While more derivative than innovative (think of SF Alpha crossed with KoF), it's still quite a solid fighter on its own, and definitely a step up from the first game which is kinda... stiff, so to say. In comparison, combo chaining feels so fluid in A.V.G. 2 and some characters can do crazy combos, including infinites when the player is skilled enough. Super jumping and performing attacks out of the dash is also possible and enhances the gameplay a lot. Another thing worth mentioning about this game are character designs done by (unfortunately late) Takahiro Kimura, known for his involvement with Betterman, Dirty Pair Flash and Code Geass. For me personally Advanced V.G. 2 is *the* game that got me into fighters, a genre I avoided like plague for years.
And Yuka is the best shoto-clone ever ;)
Great video, can I ask the song for the Little Ralph section?
Here you go! Zero Gravity Area - Mega Man Network Transmission
@@thatvideogamesshow I appreciate it, it was really catchy
I wonder if Street Racer would qualify?
Front mission 3
Fucking solid video mate. Cheers 👍
A fighting game 🎮 to a to my list
Hope you enjoy it!
Still have 750+ games for PlayStation1 and all from this list
Saiyuki ❤❤
Should I give Beyond the Beyond a second chance? I didn't like it when I had it.
Too bad we'll never get a kart racer with all mascots across all platforms.
That would be so much fun!
the only reason i watch your videos is because of that stupid tekken 2 intro music that I love agrrrrrr XD
Hey man, cool content. What's your intro music called please?
It’s the intro music from Tekken 2.
Thank you so much!
Can we already say that Megaman is a dead franchise? I mean, Capcom knows that Megaman sells, but still we haven't had a new Megaman game in ages
F yea right on time to restock
Hope you found something new!
Hidden gems is ps1 probably more difficult to count compared to the total flop in the platform
Beyond the Beyond aged like milk even for one of ps1's earliest jrpg. A mix bag of terrible game designs, a very tedious random encounter rate, and the active playing system that neither game nor it's manual explain to you along with a forgettable story makes it one of the most forgetting dud among jrpgs.
stop talking about little ralph. This Game is already more expensive than a PS5
😅
Emulation is free
I just wanna play breath of fire 4
Battle and Chase is not great
Beyond not Gem.
💚🥳🥳🥳💚
😯😯😯😯
Sorry, but this games is Hidden Crap, not gems 😅
First 🥇
🏆
🎉Congrats!!🎉
vampire hunter d. mib game really hard games but amazing games. on that time there was game on pc more like resident evil style but this game blow everything out graphicly. Nocturne. terminal reailty survival horror adventure game. Nocturne supose to out dreamcast if console not shutdown. graphics of nocturne look better than today games.
the guy doing the voiceovers sounds bored, this would be fine if it was a small channel with a few hundred or under 10,000 subscribers but having this large of an audience it's inexcusable.
Games to mention. Tomba 1 / 2 , Team Buddies, Tron Bonne and possibly threads of fate all immediately come to mind. Maybe 102 dalmatians as well as it seems everyone played and somehow loved Toy Story 2 on PS1.
Not so popular, but really good games I played (some of them could be already covered):
> V-rally 2: really good alternative to Colin 2.0, but having way better 4 player races. Multiplayer just rocks. Cons: sometimes you can slow to 0 on a nearby rock, but it's an added value in couch competition :) ).
> Tombi (EU) / Tomba: best 2d adventure.
> Soviet Strike: introduction to the series on PS1. Only 5 stages, but atmosphere and tension are doing the job.
> Worms Armageddon: should be launched at any couch party when you have 3-4 players.
> Forsaken: best entry for "Descent" like titles. Really polished title.
> Rage Racer: to me still the best game of the series. Even with small amount of tracks the championship mode with its competition and car upgrades is just on another level.
> Bust-a-move 3DX: what I remember is a good challenging arcade mode and level customization. Spent much time on that, especially on Multiplayer (for me better than S puzzle fighter 2).
> Twisted Metal 2: not gonna talk about this one. Best split-screen 2 player action game.
