Must Play Games before I finally pack PS2 and PS1 away ?

Post by msimplay »

I'm going to pack away my PS1 and PS2 collection of games I got two draws full.
I need some help because I'm really attached to the PS2 mainly because with the backwards compatibility it spans 2 whole generations.
The ps1 and ps2 but it's not really getting a lot of play time anymore.

A lot of games the games I've got are compilation games such as Midway Arcade Treasures and are available on multiple other formats either through emulation download services.
Plus a lot of the best fighters have come out on the 360 such as Tekken and Street Fighter and all the new ones to come such as Tekken X Street Fighter and Marvel Vs Capcom 3.
A lot of the later titles like Burnout Revenge and Need for Speed are available on the 360 if I feel like playing them.

all suggestions are welcome on MUST PLAY GAMES :D.

I'm going to be spending my free time next week probably playing the back catalog.

As Requested

A list of my PS1 Games

A List of my PS2 Games

It doesn't matter what's in my personal collection just want to know what your personal opinion is on what I should play before I pack the PS2 Slim away

As while I have all these games in my collection I can't say I have played them all to any great extent.

Wait, do you mean what are must plays from your personal collection, or what are must plays from the console in general? And if it is about your collection, do you have a list so we know what you have access to?

Sorry I meant Must plays in your opinion and not from my personal collection.

Point is the games are taking up too much space and I'm looking to pack them away soon so before I do are there any games I really should play before I bid it a final farewell.

PS1 and PS2 games

A mistake, too many great games. I don't know why one asks for what games to play. Especially when they already have them.

Anyways install HDAdvance/HDloader in a fat PS2, then you can put the PS2 games safely away.

Lol I already know there is too many games that's why I'm asking for help in deciding.
But think of it as this if you personally had no choice but to pack your PS2 away soon what would you want to play on it before you had to part with it ?

Haha, ok, hold up. Since this is about you, let's ask the important questions first: What genres do you like, do you have any particular companies you favor, that kind of thing. Because the PS2 library is enormous, and the PS1's certainly isn't too shabby. Once I know what you like, I can point to a few games for you to take interest in.

What I'll do is post a list of my games in the first post tomorrow I think that way people will get a good idea of what I like and don't like.

However of the top of my head I don't really care much for FPS games.

The jewels of my meager PS1 collection that aren't on other platforms are Blaster Master: Blasting Again and the Mega Man Legends games...

(actually, Legends 1 is on PC and N64)

Read my quote above. Then leave just the PS2 console out.
