Looking at expanding my PSX collection...

[Paul_B-C]

I've got

Breath of Fire IV
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Grandia
Wild Arms
Ape Escape
Metal Gear Solid

When I was younger, before I (foolishly!) sold a lot of PSX games, I owned and thoroughly played through the Crash games, as well as things like Tekken.

Of course, there's the hidden gems lists and such, but a lot of the great games on there either didn't come out in PAL territories (FF Tactics, Chrono Chross) or are out of my price range (Tombi).

So, can anyone help recommend me some titles, or am I being a bit too specific?

I think Rapid Reload is a totally underrated PS game:

Called "Gunner's Heaven" in Japan, it never saw an official US release. Only PAL and JP.

It borrows heavily from Gunstar Heroes (to the point of blatant rip-off in some parts), but is heaps of fun none the less.

Heart of Darkness. You won't be disappointed!

The Parasite Eve games are good too.

I'm looking for Super Puzzle Fighter 2 and Crash Team Racing. Get those, but wait until after I can find them for a good price.

If you own BoF IV, get BoF III. It's better than IV all around; IV only looks prettier.

Vagrant Story
Resident Evil 2 (my favorite of the series)
Twisted Metal 2
Jet Moto 2
MDK
Warhawk
Syphon Filter
Thrasher: Skate & Destroy (IMO, better than Tony Hawk)

how about some Test Drive and Ape Escape love?
