So What PSX Game Should I Play On My First Try of the Core?

[grizzly]

I have waited for the official PSX release before playing so almost no bugs/etc will be left.
And i just started thinking about what game should i try first?

I have decided that it must not be any of the well known games or big releases.
Also not any fighting game sure jiggle physics and finishers is fun for 5-10min but after that the games are just boring.
And no sport/dance/sing/play guitar games so "mad dance fifa revolution 69" is out

So what kind off unknown but good game should i play first?
The winner that suggest the game i try will win a full MiSTer and CRT setup that they have to order and pay for themself

Motor Toon Grand Prix 2 - crazy racing
Covert Ops: Nuclear Dawn - RE-style action adventure
Omega Boost - shoot'em up
Disruptor - FPS

Ridge Racer R4

Covert Ops: Nuclear Dawn - RE-style action adventure
Omega Boost - shoot'em up
Disruptor - FPS

Have already played Covert ops but a good choice for a first game otherwise.
Omega boost seems ok but i generally do not like "after burner" style of games.

Ridge Racer R4

Ridge racer is a very well known series so no.

I'm out then =)

You can always rob a bank

Klonoa
Rayman

Good suggestions! did a quick google serach and a very fast youtube look at them.
I think i´m going with Klonoa since i was near to rent that many,many times at the time but i always got something else instead and i do not think i have tried it on emulators either.

[kathleen]

Yes, you're right, Rayman is a bit too know to fit here mickeys wild adv too i think.

I've just thought about a game that I liked and finished, is is "D" and adventure game in 3 CD's. Maybe less known this one.

Urban Chaos. Solid game, esp. co-op.

[thorr]

I had a similar thread that I am still in the early stages of diving into. I am looking forward to trying Alundra when I have time.

One of the most underrated games for the PSX, fantastic graphics and superb soundtrack.

[Djiem]

I suggest One Piece Mansion.

It's an interesting puzzle game where you move rooms around a building to make sure all the tenants are happy. Some tenants generate stress, some soothe stress, in specific directions. Place them all in optimal configurations and win!

[grizzly]

Where did my last post go?
All i said was that i did play Klonoa for about 2 hours and that it was a good but not fantastic game.
And then said Urban Chaos is one of my all time favorites games, played the hell out of it on PC at the time.

[aberu]

I'm the biggest Valkyrie Profile simp so...

Valkyrie Profile.

[LamerDeluxe]

Same. Great atmosphere, voice acting, exploration, side missions, freedom to solve a level in different ways, variation. Such a great game.

One of my 1st PSX games was Gunners Heaven. Has aged well. And of course Dragon Warrior VII.

I second Gunners Heaven

[Jlz]

If you're in the market for some shmup action, I can recommend:

- Harmful Park
- Zanac X Zanac
- Gaiaseed: Project Seed Trap

[virtuali]

Chrono Cross, one of the best soundtrack ever, plays and sounds perfectly on Mister.

[mikekim]

40 Winks

[grizzly]

Chrono Cross
Dragon Warrior VII
Alundra

Pretty well known and big games so not on this list.

n2o
One Piece Mansion
Valkyrie Profile
Gunners Heaven
Harmful Park
Zanac X Zanac
Gaiaseed: Project Seed Trap
40 Winks

Seems like they can be good.

Megaman Legends is decent, better than the N64 version IIRC. Never played the Tron Bonne spinoff;
I should give it a try...

No One Can Stop Mr Domino! is pretty fun and unique.

Internal Section is very trippy with great music

[redsteakraw]

Silent Bomber, fun to pick up and play awesome with fast paced action. Graphics are pretty good as well almost can seem like a PS2 launch title when zoomed out.
