I've been buying a few "classic" Playstation games over the last few months, and by classic i mean "games that i alays wanted to play but never bought"... so not necessarily classics then!
I had Wing Commander 4 come through the post the other week and finally got round to playing it the other day - not a bad game for its age. Then i got thinking about the other games i always wanted to play but haven't (yet!), like Dark Forces and that Star Wars beat-em-up.
Anyone else got any suggestions i should look for that i've forgotten about?
A PS1 game I've been looking for for ages is .. Pinball something...Fantasies, Dreams or something. It had 4 levels. One with vikings...awesome game, impossible to find
I've always liked the PS1 for its large selection of decent racing games. If simulation racers are your thing, you can't beat Gran Turismo or Gran Turismo 2. For arcade racers, i'd recommend Ridge Racer Type 4.
And of course, let's not forget Mega Man X4, X5, and X6. I found the most enjoyment out of X4, and despite its lousy voice acting, the plot was really quite excellent compared to the SNES-era games.
Oh, and if you're an RPG fan, Legend of Mana is also a fantastic choice. It lacks a true main storyline and goes mostly on sub-plots, but it has some pretty unique gameplay elements.

I'm not sure its either of them. Dreams and Fantasties were on the Amiga too and I don't think there was a viking table. Both had 4 tables though, must have been the in-thing to do back then .
Rayman, Tomb Raider, FFVII, Abe's Oddysee, Tekken 2. Back in the day I used to like Nightmare Creatures and GTA1, MGS1 but my how they've aged D:
So much good stuff on the old Playstation, the Net Yaroze scene in particular. You can probably find a few demo discs on ebay etc with the net yaroze halls of fame on. well worth it. Gosh, those days were demo heaven.
The Syphon Filter series was prettty damn impressive, as was MGS, obviously. C-12: Final Resistance was a British-developed title that came at the end of the PlayStation's life and thus was largely overlooked, but it had it all: great graphics and audio, pacing to rival Resident Evil 4, and cockneys.
The best Harvest Moon game ever made also takes its residence on the Playstation - Harvest Moon: Back To Nature. It's a very special thing.
All the Crash Bandicoot games were competent, but the third in the series really nailed it.
Pandemonium, Incredible Crisis, the Oddworld games, Kula world, V-Rally, GTA.... brapping hell, I loved the playstation.
crash bandicoot series (1 2 and 3)
spyro series (1 2 and 3)
rayman series (1 and 2)
jumping flash series (1 and 2)
final fantasy (7 8 and 9)
vagrant story
silent hill
raystorm and raycrisis (bullet hell shooter masterpeices. Raystorm HD is coming to xbox live or is already there maybe)
croc series (1 and 2)
parappa the rapper
tombraider series (1 2 and 3)
metal gear solid
edit: oh and the megaman legends games. those were satisfying.

You mean Pinball Illusions. It's also for PC, but most versions have only 3 tables and no Vikings. I don't know about the PS1 version.
WWF Smackdown! 2
I'm not a wrestling fan, so I was sceptical at first, but it's actually a fantastic multiplayer game - noone could beat my giant "Wolfman" character with his incessant mongolian chopping and "mandible claw" finisher, or my "X-Con" convict guy, who just roll-up-pinned you to death, and had a ridiculously long feud with Edge and Christian for no particular reason
