Yes, it is pretty easy to emulate PS1 games, you just need a somewhat recent computer with a decent video card. FFT would also be a good choice, not sure how it did commercially; but it has quite a following.

Yeah I can see getting burned out on an era.

Personally would like to wait at least a few games in before busting out a Final Fantasy of any sort, but PSX Tactics would be my choice as I would estimate it gets the highest acollades vs lowest amount of people played.

I've never played either one. I'm especially hoping that Chrono Trigger becomes one of the selected games for our little club here.

Definitely!

and just to remind you, chrono trigger has the added advantage that unlike FFT or earthbound it's relatively easy to find a legal copy, namely the PSX version (which came w/ FF4).

My vote for the first 3D game is I, Robot for the arcade, but that'll probably be overridden. In actuality, I'd put forth a vote for Jumping Flash or its sequel as the first PS1 game--early in the system's life, regarded as one of its best games in the first wave, before people saw what the system could really do.

Good point.

I would definitely be interested in either Chrono Trigger or Earthbound... never really played either.

Apparently a real hidden gem for the PC is the 1999 Planescape: Torment developed by Black Isle Studios. Just check out some of the reviews: http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B0 ... ewpoints=1 and http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/planesca ... index.html . The only problem is that it might be difficult to find a physical copy of the game. However, I've heard that you can purchase a digital copy from GameTap.
