With Tail Concerto, it's also worth noting it's had spiritual sequels taking place in the same world with Solatorobo on the Nintendo DS, and now Fuga: Melodies of Steel 1 & 2 on modern consoles, as cameo appearances of the characters from Tail Concerto do appear in Solatorobo

Einhander is a very, very good game. I don't normally like shooters, but this game makes you want to keep playing. The music is great as well.

My favorite PS1 game is Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night.

I still got my OG copy (purchased in 1999) of Thousand Arms. That game was ahead of its time with voice acting and the dating system.

Koudelka is a masterpiece. And the sequel series Shadow Hearts is equally amazing.

[HitoshuraZero]

Thousand Arms is a beauty, hope it gets someday ported to new consoles, amazing list!

Legend of Legaia is a great title locked to the PSX, and I mean that in the sense that not only has it never been rereleased, but the PS2 doesn't seem to be able to handle the battles without massive slowdown, either. I hope it gets a PS4/PS5 digital re-release someday because its a great JRPG with a "fighting game" like combat engine and some really unique summonable monster designs.

Great list, Einhander was a game that while brutally hard, I just couldn't stop renting and playing. Such a beautiful game. Saga Frontier 2 as well is a stunner on the system, some of the water color backgrounds are some of the most beautiful visuals on the PS1. Panzer Bandit looks really cool, almost like a Playstation version of Vanguard Bandits, but on a single plane.

Still repping The Unholy War until I see it on here. Such an underrated area brawler with a fun campaign.

I've been into Alundra lately. It's a really good Zelda link to the past type RPG. Highly recommended. Good art style and everything. Puzzles too.

[DoubleDguitar]

Einhander had to be on this. I would instantly buy any system with the official follow up, if that was still a thing. Glad you got to it so early.

I played Evil Zone and Siphon Filter 1 on a demo. I also remember names like Destrega, Colony Wars, G Police, Ehrgeiz, Overboard, Demolition Racer ^^

Ghost in the Shell on the PS1 was amazing.

[mario-mario]

So many games stuck on ps1 like Treasures of the deep. If only we had a vast ps1 classic library to buy on PS4/5 like we did during the PS3 gen.🥺

Evil Zone is one of my favorite games, simple yet deep and fun. The Soundtrack is killer, you used it several times.

Guys, seriously, check this game out and give it a fair chance.

Evil zone was an interesting find for me and i still have the disk stored away to this day. I randomly found it at a flee market and was in one of those old disk envelopes that looked like a brown paper bag. Only really tried it once but honestly had more character with only 2 attack buttons then a lot of others i saw on the system lol.

[tylerbrunton]

Tail Concerto was an incredibly fun game, I'm so glad to see it's fondly remembered.

[corbinbond]

Panzer Bandit is amazing and one of my faves for the PS1! You gotta mention Rakugaki Showtime and Mad Stalker if you haven't yet :)

[Tasuke]

Funnily enough, I got Evil Zone for my collection not too long ago! Pretty fun. Panzer Bandit looks fun too. I'm always on the look out for good beat em ups. A friend of mine has recommended Koudelka to me and our friend group a few times and I'm aware of its connections to Shadow Hearts. Might have to give it a try soon! Great video as always!

[twerkfromhome]

Koudelka is definitely one of the best horror RPGs that’s set in Wales on the PS1.

[TheSamuraiTS]

Had no expectations for evil zone when I first played it back in the day with my brother, but it soon became one of our all time favorites!

I think Ridge Racer needs a comeback. Yeah, plenty of racing games of which GT sits above, but it was all about RR's ascetic and atmosphere. The jungle/DnB music, the mascot chicks... it has a completely different feel from most other video games really.
