Thread 82309393

Hey guys, I got this PS1 from my grandpa. Should I play it? I know there are a lot of uncs here so maybe you would know if it's good or not.

>>82309393 (OP)
the ps1 has like a couple of good games. the ps2 on the other hand has several good games so I think you should play that instead

>>82309393 (OP)
play it anon you'll cream your pants at peak ps1 games

>>82309393 (OP)
You should play the game

>>82309447
My grandpa is 58 and my dad is 38. He got the PS1 when my dad was 8, and my dad had me at 20, so I'm 18 now. My grandpa said he got the PS1 when it was released so he was 28 then.

LOL brooo where are the sticks? you meant to play this with gyro aim i'm dead

>>82309393 (OP)
Not a unc but Resident evil 1-3, the neversoft spiderman games, and parasite Eve if you get the chance. Personally I just buying up and playing ps3 games

>>82309411
Trvth nvke. The PS1 has like 10 good games and you can play them all on the PS2.

>>82309465
OP can probably get dual analog or dual shock 1 later on

>>82309393 (OP)
Yeah Final Fantasy 7 is pretty fun and its on the PlayStation

feast your eyes on these gems

>>82309457

You are white trash.

>>82309393 (OP)
Definitely give it a try, there are many good games on it. I particularly grew up with Tekken 3, Crash Bandicoot and Metal Slug, to name a few

>>82309556
Yeah we work in the trades, but my dad owns 2 homes fully paid off and I'm getting one of them.

>>82309448
Tomba 1 and 2
Brave Fencer Musashi
Mega man legends 1 and 2 and Misadventure of Tron Bonne
Elemental Gearbolt
Tail Concerto
Clock Tower 1 and 2
Koudelka
Persona 1 and 2
Valkyrie Profile
Silent Hill
Einhander
Lunar 1 and 2
Arc the lad collection
King's field
Alundra 1 and 2
Team Buddies
Thousand Arms

And many more, faggot

>>82309448
Resident Evil 2, Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Xenogears are all obvious choices that are not only good but also the PS1 still remains the best/only way to play them (I think RE2 was ported to PC by GoG though, so replace it with uhhh Vagrant Story?)

>>82309393 (OP)
What is it? Is it a game? Or a system with games in? If a system, are there any other system that come with it?


I'm not gonna open the OP.

>PS1 from grandpa
MFW

>>My grandpa is 58 and my dad is 38
WTF?! Folks are reproducing way too quickly out here are you in the countryside or something? How about building generational wealth? I am 38 and my dad is 71.
>>82309449
World 2 is a piece of shit
>>82309539
Akklaim ew...........


The suggestions thus far have been pretty shit probably because everyone on this board wasn't born yet or was in elementary school when this shit came out.

>>82309634
>"Heh, good games are actually bad. Trust me, I'm old."
Good for you bud, we're all impressed

>>82309618
damn I thought for all these years persona 2 was a ps2 game not a ps1 game

>82309618
Didn't see your post.....

Let me help you out with that my guy.
> Because the suggestions thus far have been weak af....

>Arc the lad collection
https://www.angelfire.com/rpg2/cgamingden/ArcHelp/ArcOnehelp.html
PLAY WITH A GUIDE!!!!
Arc 1 starts off slow but Arc 2 is much better
>Legend of Mana
Again use a guide, because you can easily miss stuff
>Valkyrie Profile
>FFT
But it's being released subbed via remake.
>Lunar 1+2
>Breath of Fire 3+4
>Thousand arms
but honestly I would look for a subbed version via emulator
>FF9
Seven's remake/rebirth completely makes the original obsolete
>Star Ocean
>Chrono Trigger and then Chrono Cross
>DQ7
but the DS version is better
>Thousand Arms
>Brave Fencer Musashi
>Megaman Legends 1+2+ Trone Bon
Iknow I am forgetting some though


>>82309671
No, games made after TVshows or movies back then were pretty shit. It's not like it is today.

>>82309679
There are actually 2 persona 2, but in America one of them was released on psp and the other on ps1.

>>82309571
Where, Alabama, Ohio, Pennsylvania? That's not much of an achievement my guy....... If you had prim real-estate in NYC or LA/OC that would be a different story.

>>82309393 (OP)
This is all I hear looking at that

>>82309988
In Maryland, they're worth around $1.2m together, we own a truck hauling company. I think you're just jealous that you don't own any property buddy.

>>82309988
Almost no-one has real estate in NYC, what kind of ridiculous shit is that.
>durr why arent you an oligarch

colony wars

fyi its very easy to soft mod your ps1 to play burnt games meaning you can play any game in its original form for the cost of a CDR

>>82309393 (OP)

Ok zoomer it's time for bed now you have retard school in the morning

>>82309556
the amount of envy in the post might be the most i've ever seen at once, cheer up chud you'll lose your virginity to a male prostitute someday when you grind up the cash to afford it

>>82310035
My folks own two houses. 30 miles north of the city, that's an easy commute. Then again they bought them back in 97' when the market was much cheaper.

>>82310032
> Maryland,
> $1.2m together,
Ok buddy. Still Maryland is nowheresville, what the fuck is even in Maryland?

>>82309393 (OP)
im 24 and grew up with the ps1
honestly get a ps2 and hack it instead
the ps1 you need to buy all the games and some of them are expensive
besides the disc drives are not going to last much longer

>>82310472
true iirc it's like literally just pressing a button down at that point you may as well just emulate though

>>82309701
>suggests boring JRPG slop and not actually fun games like Spyro
PS1 is extremely overrated for RPGs. Same for SNES.

>>82311306
I also forgot, if you're suggesting most of these games without OP having a mod chip you are being cruel.

>>82311306
ADHD zoomer or protozoomer(92-95) detected, those games look and play like shit now. Even back then, the N64 platformers were far superior.

Games had to last back then, we don't have the internet at our fingertips like we do now. I'll tell you this Jrpgs are better than any novel I've read.

>>82311858
Ok gramps, JRPGs are indescribably boring 100 hour long turn based slogfests, especially on PS1. Only with PS2 did those types of games start being fun. Meanwhile 3D platformers are fun no matter what era they're from. Go eat your oatmeal.

>>82311900
>Ok gramps, JRPGs are indescribably boring 100 hour long turn based slogfests,
Legend of Mana isn't turnbased, and neither is brave fencer Musashi. It's more fun than any platformer I've played, I outgrew them at a certain point.
'
>y boring 100 hour long turn based slogfests,
I felt ripped off when I finished a game in an afternoon, we didn't have internet or torrents or streaming like we do now in 99'. They are far more challenging than any platformer I have ever played.

>Meanwhile 3D platformers are fun no matter what era they're from.
They got dull after awhile. Especially during the collectathon era.

>. Go eat your oatmeal.
I drink vegi smoothies , oatmeal is kinda sucky.


Also Spyro was remade because the original looks like shit now. Sprites last for generations

>>82309701
>but the DS version is better
Really? Chrono Trigger on the ds is better? Why exactly?
I want to have Chrono Trigger but the snes version is way too expensive, the ds one is also expensive but cheaper.

>>82312132
Literally everything gets sort of boring over time. It's not just video games.

>>82312132
You named one of maybe 5 good PS1 RPGs. PS2 probably has quintuple that number.
>I felt ripped off when I finished a game in an afternoon
This isn't the 90s where you rented a game for 10 dollars and only had that game to play for a weekend, old man. It's a superior time to your childhood. Sorry.
>They got dull after awhile
I have 100% completed Spyro 3 more than once, which is more than I can say for any PS1 RPG.
>Also Spyro was remade because the original looks like shit now
Umm, you realized you named Star Ocean 2 and that game recently got a remake, right?

>>82312215
The DS version has a bunch of mediocre added content that doesn't really fit but it is otherwise a good way to play the game.

>>82312215
>Really? Chrono Trigger on the ds is better? Why exactly?
Has some extra content and explains what happened to a certain character. Also it doesn't have load times.


>This isn't the 90s where you rented a game for 10 dollars and only had that game to play for a weekend,
It was four dollars zoom, zoom. That's what platfomers were for, but once we got to the end of gen 5 of games Blockbusters and video stores in general started to disappear.

>Umm, you realized you named Star Ocean 2 and that game recently got a remake, right?
I didn't thanks for telling me. Original still looks better than spyro now.

>>82312412
>four dollars
Tomato tomahto, boomer. I'm glad Blockbuster is dead. I can just pirate anything I want off the internet now.
>Original still looks better than Spyro
Sprite graphics are massively overrated. Early 3D is soulful.

Holy based

>>82309393 (OP)
>Should I play it
Unless you want to go out and buy an old glass TV that runs at 480p you should honestly hang onto it as an investment or memento. Maybe clean it up and put it in a sealed box.
Emulating the games with resolution upscaling and various other techniques is a much, much better experience.

>>82309393 (OP)
>>82313038
Or at least boot it up once to hear the sound that sent tingles down the spine of millions of uncs.

Just my honest advice. I still play these games to this day.
