Brave Fencer Musashi.

I think the game still looks great, and I love that it has a night and day cycle. I especially loved the way the game looks at dusk, just before the sun fully rises, because it looks so calm and peaceful.

I was also thinking of this series, among others out there in the platforming genre.

RAYCRISIS: SERIES TERMINATION

Although my video doesn't do the game justice, it's a very hidden gem for the ps1.

Not sure if any of these were mentioned yet. I'm sure I could think of a few more but I'm not in front of my collection at the momoment.
I am addicted to video games, especially retro gaming from my era. I have: NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Gameboy, GBA, Wii, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. I have probably over 1,000 games in total for all these systems combined. Yes, I need help and I wouldn't have it any other way! This is my passion and hey my wife still loves me!!

Not really a hidden gem, since it's a fairly well known shoot 'em up.

Most shoot 'em ups that are polygon-based on the PS1 still look good. That includes the Ray series, G Darius, Thunder Force V, etc.

Heck, Fantavision still looks cool.

I picked this over IX as it has a realistic look, compared to IX's deformed look.
In-game the character body models are fine, but their faces always seemed a bit grainy. However, the cutscenes are still in my mind nothing short of absolutely beautiful

Spyro 3 still looks pretty good. Sharp, and the textures hardly jiggle, a feat for PS1.

Armored Core: Master of Arena had some decent graphics.

With all these games being mentioned it seems like the Playstation still holds up pretty well in terms of graphics. I'd be interested in seeing some bad examples quite personally.
