PS1 "hidden gems"

[Bradtemple87]

Legend of Legaia had the 2 disc case with 1 disc too. Also... I would argue that Legend of Legaia is somewhat of a gem. Doesn't usually get brought up with the big name PSX RPGs. How about....

Spriggan Lunar Verse
King's Field series
Shadow Tower
Croc
Carnage Heart

elmagicochrisg, nice call on Apocalypse.

Yes, Croc

I would suggest Board Game Top Shop

I always tell people about Top Shop!!!!!!!!!! That game is so addicting! That was going to be my suggestion.
I'll dig through my PSX collection and try to find something worthy (that was released.. thrill kill doesn't count!)

I can kill a few hours on that game very quickly!

Tail Concerto:

Cute little 3D platformer. Feels a lot like Mega Man Legends.

Fear Effect was a great game nobody played.

Wow thank you for that. This is one of those games I have vague memories with but could never identify. Now I finally friggin know.

Herc's Adventures and Rival School's are two games I always thought were some of ps1's best.

Rival schools was solid, but I always suggest the dreamcast sequel

Man I swear the PS1 has one of the best libraries out there, I think I've played a lot of the good ones well think again. , so many gems.

Totally have to second the Croc series, those games were fantastic, if you love Crash and Spyro you'll love them. Same with the old 3D platformer Gex games, I remember them being pretty hard later on though.

How about Blaster Master: Blasting Again? Really not a bad game at all in my book! I remember when it first came out as such a budget title, $9.99 brand new I believe. It definitely did the open "underground" world thing fairly well even before Metroid Prime, or whatnot.

Wind 9! Fun times there. Good ol' Shiny Entertainment.

Arc the Lad is a little overlooked, highly recommended. I love how this game had the SRPG gameplay, but still allowed player interaction in towns, dungeons, etc. Not something you saw in some of these games like FFT.

Alundra! Basically 32bit Zelda here with a great story, another great one brought over by Working Designs.
