20 Games That Defined the Sony PlayStation 1 (PSX)

[THElOokNo0]

what is happened to resi.....

[keeganv]

./cry for growing up with the playstation 1 and playstation 2 in high school =[

[thatJimwiththenes]

tony hawk ftw

[LuciferDaFallenAngel]

Konami FTW

[heavymetalrodrigomez]

Medievil is the 21th :)

[InquisitorSledge]

It seems that you only used the main or first game per franchise. I think Syphon Filter, Driver and Bloody Roar deserved to be put in the list.

[SerithValComnion]

Also forgot to list Tomba 2, Ape escape, Jersey devil, Armored core, Front Mission 3, Ace Combat, Bloody Roar 3, Cool Boarders, Ehrgiez, Gekido, Legend of Legaia, Sled Storm, Tiny Tank, Soul of the Samurai, Digimon World, Vagrant Story, and Dragon Valor

[SerithValComnion]

Note it should say Bloody Roar 2, 3 was on the ps2

[SerithValComnion]

so many crappy PSX games. I mean seriously, where is Jet Moto, Legend of Dragoon, Croc, Parasite Eve, Tekken 3, Gex, Syphon Filter, Wing Commander 4, Dino Crisis, and the other amazing games

[delli620]

i never got a playstation. I was one of those that thought it was gonna be another jaquar/3D0 deal. But i sure played them when i got a ps2.

[yadidimeanmaine]

List is missing Siphon Filter, Driver, and the most underrated game ever: Parasite Eve.

[Press1ForSummon]

Im crying i want my games back =(

[R4LRetro]

Best system ever IMO. Any genre on the system had at least 2 flawless games.

[SotNist]

this one would have been hard to do. nailed the early defining moments, and the things everyone remembers.

[Reimix2009]

IM crying. :(

[killdeslm]

great upload but the video quality doesnt do the games justice

[HeyyLookItsAlex]

Legend of Dragoon.

[rich543543]

parasite eve should be there

[jeffrielly]

what about parasite eve?

[furQ]

U RAPPIN: GOOD!

[gummoboy333]

great job!

[HappyBirthdaySANTA]

ps3 sucks mega cock compared to ps1... so over the war themes.. bring back the adventure games.......

[45loconder]

@HappyBirthdaySANTA and ps3 sucks mega cock to ps2 the games are waaaaayyyy better on ps2 then on ps3 and the controllers are wired on the ps2 so i wont lose them and if i want a longer cord move the ps2 out

[ReneeNme]

@45loconder The only reason I will EVENTUALLY go to a PS3 is for the game catalogue, not for the supposed " greater graphic capability ". That's what was used to push the console. That, and the fact that the units carry a hard drive ( same goes for the XBox and XBox 360 ). Truth be told, the PS3 and XBox 360 graphics aren't that much more far superior than what the PS2 was capable of in the hands of a decent game production team. Shadow of The Colossus for the PS2 console is a perfect example.

[ReneeNme]

( cont'd ) In the meantime, before I finally buy a PS3, I am continuing to build up my PS2 game library. So many titles that I need to buy or re~buy. I'm working on the Fatal Frame series right now. Have yet to play them. The first game in the series is supposed to arrive in the mail tomorrow. ♪♫ On eBay ♫♪

[commodore64fan]

@HappyBirthdaySANTA your mom sucks mega cock your just up set that you come from a poor ass family and can't afford a PS3 fucking fag

[HappyBirthdaySANTA]

@commodore64fan hahahhaha you must be just another one of them brainwashed clones that's lost in the hype. you wouldn't have ps3 if it wasn't for the success of ps1. PS1 was epic in it's time. ps3 is overrated, Xbox 360 is well beyond it now. the Sony foundation has become lazy. PC games all day mate. go back to playing modern warfare you Muppet.....

[commodore64fan]

@HappyBirthdaySANTA uhh i don't play that you fucking cunt i play mostly sports games and fighting games and adventure games wow what an ignorant fuck you are -_-

[HappyBirthdaySANTA]

@commodore64fan just die in silence. i couldnt give a fuck what you play or what you have to say. your just a broken toy to me... so over you, you clearly just wanted attention and yes you got it...

[commodore64fan]

@HappyBirthdaySANTA well apparently you mom is not over my cock since i banged her last night

[HappyBirthdaySANTA]

@commodore64fan that's just lame...

[rockmusscarcella]

DO YOU MAKE THAT BADASS MIDI TUNES FROM YOUR VIDEOS? IF THAT IS TRUE, IM YOUR NEW FAN DOOD!

[morefredmoore2]

@rockmusscarcella No, applemctom uses MIDIs from the internet (at least that I have noticed) a few examples would be ones of "The Desert Rocks" from Turrican II [Used in "Alternative History of Video Games"], "Air Combat" from Turrican 3 [Used in "Defunct Developers: Factor 5"] and "Gallantry" from Raiden [oddly used in "20 Games that defined the Amiga"]. They aren't too hard to find once you look for MIDIs of them.

[rokkdinface]

What about Warhawk?

[Messenjah619]

theres always no "legend of dragoon" .__.

[IllIXR]

no croc ? 

[JayFeliceW]

Sony is so afraid of fucking up a remake that they won't even make a remake even tho it would make them richest company ever to make a game.

[JayFeliceW]

Final Fantasy VII is the best thing sony ever made

[IllIXR]

@JayFeliceW they never made it

[Laurenkabal]

@JayFeliceW Sony did not make FF7. Square did.

[MPSecare]

These are all like 3 star games dude.... Except for FF7 and SOTN

[EmperorofCartoons]

@MPSecare Ridge Racer, Wipeout, Tomb Raider, Twisted Metal, Medal of Honor, and Resident Evil were NOT 3 star games. Those were revolutionary games for their genres.

[MPSecare]

@EmperorofCartoons Was playstation your first system?

[8BitPicklez]

@MPSecare Nope.

The NES was.

[MPSecare]

@8BitPicklez alright i can't argue you know whats up \m/

[EmperorofCartoons]

@MPSecare Not at all. My first game system was an Atari 2600 my old man got for us in either 82 or 83.

[MPSecare]

@EmperorofCartoons right on man, i had to ask, I just feel like I could come up with a better list.. Einhander, Omega Boost, Vandal hearts, Persona, Tenchu, Armored Core, Legacy of Kain, and Soul reaver.... no Wild Arms on that list...Twisted metal was ok but twisted metal 2 REALLY defined that shit. i dunno...

[8BitPicklez]

@MPSecare 3 Star games...WHAT THE HELL?!?!

These games blew my mind growing up.

[MPSecare]

@8BitPicklez Was playstation your first system?

[fearlessturk]

i dunno.. resident evil and tomb raider were both released for other consoles as well

[bullitproof1]

Derby!!!! tomtaider :') tomraider and the big house:) spyro dream world game. medal of honor still ave that game:') and dukenukem i mis that old days:)

[LucaBlightBadass]

My childhood flash before my eye's!

[LaharlD2]

No Parasite Eve?

[raigekiman]

@LaharlD2 i know i too love parasite eve :(

[Hambag2009]

colin mcrae rally

[thrice1987]

No ape escape?

[adamski895RS]

What about SMASH TV lmfao

[Anubis2323]

You forgotten Odworld: Abe's oddyssey

[Furyspawn22]

@Anubis2323 Man I hate that game!

[Look2Good2Binnocent]

Proud to say I played these all. On the scary ones, I just sat back with a pillow up to my chin and watched my big brother play. Lmao, those were good times.

[dapoopta]

Loaded was another really good one.

[KaizerSozak2008]

@dapoopta Agreed, was underrated IMO

[dapoopta]

Jet moto!!!!

[Yourname942]

legend of Legaia was really good

[BoredOfThisSite]

No.

[PeterRoeder31]

What about Alone in the Dark?

[The81Camino]

Well with the PS1 in general...it has to be the hardest system to make a top 20 fave list like this. There are always going to be people who have a much different opinion. I respect this list though. Played em all. All were amazing. Some of my faves - Breath of Fire 3, MediEvil, Thousand Arms, Final Fantasy 9. Some I try and forget - Syphon filter.........that's it. (jk :D)

[MegaKiddyLand]

I have my ps1 old times!

[xINiceShotIx]

I like the Guitar Pro music. I thought it was canon in D for a moment.

[JDonahue79]

,,,or shouldd I say, that it's a place of heaven to get away from greedy corporations.

Man, I should wish that companies sell games for 40 bucks, make games like these, and care for your customers.

[TheRawtic]

Oh and Metal Gear Solid is epic too! I downloaded it at the PSN Store with RE 1-3 and Silent Hill!

[TheRawtic]

Resident Evil and Silent Hill are the best. Nowadays you can see that those games are still the most popular Survival-Horror games on the market!

[xXBLAKEY87Xx]

Good video but you are missing a shed load more games. Miss those days.

[Richyumy2007]

wheres discworld??? that was truly awesome, or on the original ps1 demo... THE DINOSAUR!

[dannyofthededd]

some other games which stuck in my mind were some of the gcon 45 games like time crisis,point blank and elemental warrior,the capcom fighter rival schools,klonoa,g police and alien trilogy..lets not forget gran tourismo too peeps!

[zero71234]

Breath of fire 4, xenogears, wild arms should be there too. I think PSX wasm THE CONSOLE for RPG fans (like me XD)

[PepsiRawks]

Megaman legends? Misadventures of tron bonne? LUNAR?!? WTF MAN 4 racing games? this is blasphemy.

[ARGX47]

i wishe he would have put Mortal Kombat Trilogy

[danielparthenis]

Cstlevania symphony of the night is one expensive and rare piece of work nowadays , still haven't found copy for my collection :P

[ARGX47]

@danielparthenis buy it off psn than only 9.99

[danielparthenis]

@ARGX47 i know . but im a collector , i like having the original game :)

[ARGX47]

@danielparthenis try going to Amazon.com

[danielparthenis]

@ARGX47 kk . ty

[yodadude666]

Still regularly chuck Crash Bandicoot on for a run through up to at least the first boss. 3 Was better though.

[7ito1990]

twisted metal is here... you deserve a kiss.... muahahaha but I won't give it coz I'm neither italian nor a whore x'D

[dafullclip]

Hey man! Where is Fear Effect

[SuperGoldHyperShadow]

Spyro The Dragon was created by Insomniac....

[Chainsawsb]

Great list :)

[Vendettare1]

music

[Toasty667]

Final Fantasy 7 or 8? Resident Evil 2? Metal Gear Solid?

[SuperSmooth69x]

ps1 dint really step it up any

[nickcriscuolo]

The maker of this video clearly did not own an Amiga.

[qqqaaawww002]

Name music?

[naveedlalkhan]

super robot wars and co?

arc the lad???

[ALEXTHEALEXNATOR2]

wat song is this supposed to be and why a midi file?

[IamiPodman69]

You should make a big download pack where you could download all games like ROMs. That would deserve a sub.

[ShadowBlade405]

you gotta love tomb radier

[kamilm122]

no tekken 3? gran turismo 2? alundra? maaaaaaaaaaaaan

[Neopulse00]

Very accurate, loved the vid. Brought back such a disgusting amount of nostalgia. Thanks You!

[PlanetDead]

Where's Soul Blade, the father of Soul Caliburs ?

[Ellisthemechanic]

Metal Gear Solid. A Classic game which is better than that stupid ego shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

[GamerMGO]

this list is made up of pretty much my old catalog of ps1 games

does that make me awesome... thumbs up if you think so

[pcfaulkner]

man i am gagging for a go on castlevania now

[tmirooo]

decent.. but WHERE THE F**K IS ABE ODDYSEE OR DRIVER?!?!

[tim204]

decent list, but i think Oddworld Abe's Oddysee should have been in there , just my opinion

[TheLoneWeegee]

I can't believe there was no Abe's Oddysee or Exodus here.

I am dissapoint.

[the200bpm]

@TheLoneWeegee you're right! and what about parappa the rapper in a psx top 20 ? its just... wrong!

[punnanyjoe]

@TheLoneWeegee yeah man fucking helll

[mikeymyer]

@TheLoneWeegee * dissapointed

[TheLoneWeegee]

@mikeymyer *Disappointed.

And i said, "I am disappoint", on purpose :'D

[mikeymyer]

@TheLoneWeegee You're the grammar troll lol

[TheLoneWeegee]

@mikeymyer Hell yeah <3

[qqqaaawww002]

Music?

[hippocrates72]

Great selection ! Could you add starting times of each game ? Thanks!

[bpotts0401]

good list my man. best console ever in my opinion and all the games that i associate with psx were mentioned.

[GorgutzDM]

Syphon filter trilogy?

[MissingPersonSRK]

No Intelligent Qube or Final Fantasy Tactics? I agree with most of the list though. I wouldn't have counted Destruction Derby, but that's just me.

[bpotts0401]

@MissingPersonSRK Hey Destruction Derby was awesome! The first Playstation game I ever played...way back in like 1996. I just wish it had a split-screen two player mode....

[luvindogadis411]

Awesome list. Warhawk? Battle Arena Toshinden? Tobal No. 1? Street Fighter Alpha? Loaded? Twisted Metal, Final Fantasy VII, Resident Evil 1 and 2, Silent Hill and Tekken 2 solidified the Playstation One as a must-have system. Imports like Gamera 2000 and Tobal 2 were flat out awesome; which I had both.

[steviegbcool]

good list if i where to add one would be formula 1.

[OceanLoader]

I'd say we're missing Abe's Odyssey, R-Type Delta & Ridge Racer 4, but great selection overall. Games like the Resident Evil trilogy, FF 7/8/9, MOH 1&2, Chrono Cross, Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid just made the PS1 something pretty special.

[dMITIC]

thank god i was raised with the 64

[JKONG55]

@dMITIC thank god I had sex with you mother....

jk jk.

those were the good ole days, but I was actually raised with the original Nintendo :P

[Paskaperse999]

Where's Ape Escape?

[JKONG55]

wait no GTA? what? that started a revolution I thought

[bpotts0401]

@JKONG55 the first one sucked, and the second one was mediocre. The third started a revolution, and that was PS2

[JKONG55]

@bpotts0401 still, the title itself started a revolution.

[azz666]

@JKONG55 GTA was released first on PC.

[JKONG55]

@azz666 ok? and? there still was a GTA for Playstation right? thats what im talking about, not first release.

[haaardstyle]

I could not agree with you anymore. Tomb Raider set the bar for platformers/adventure games as well as Crash Bandicoot (their still unique to eachother). I was going to complain and say where is Kuruchi/Intelligent Qube at on the list, but I guess that really didn't "define" ps/sony.

[444x4]

final fantasy 7 still is one of the best rpg.

[natlinxz]

Perfect list!

[adrian29459]

Good choice of games, don't think I could make a better list.

[SeppeD]

nice video. It suprises me that ive played most of those games, and I have never been a real Sony gamer.
