I paid good money for this Dynex!
That's not a repro?
I didn't realize copies had actually gotten printed.

Fake news.
Never heard of this, just skipped through a video and it looks really good. Is there any fighting in those third person sections?

I'm not a fool.
I went into a GameStop for the first time in years waiting for a date in union square. Holy shit what happened to this chain?
They have a large tshirt section now. And half the place is junky physical toys and nick-nacks. Plus the games are all disorganized and the used ones have heinous price stickers on them... although admittedly that was always the case.
But really, half the store is not even videogames anymore. And the lighting sucks.
And a homeless guy came in dressed in a skirt and had a cotton candy wig and told me "I'm dressed this way because it's springtime and I'm setting the tone."
(Okay that last part was awesome but the rest sucked).

Unfortunately no. The third person parts are rather barren, but I love the concept of it. Would love to see a game flesh it out more.
Seriously though, this is a really solid shooter. Can't believe how nice it looks visually and how smooth it plays.
I definitely recommend it!
Have you heard of Community Pom? It's a cute 2D Zelda-style action RPG and it definitely looks like something from the SNES era. Pic above is stolen from deddonpachi's post in another topic.
Digital version is available on JP PS Store for 617yen.

The crazy thing is a couple years ago, there were tons of Vanark copies online and for cheap too. Not sure how the price jump just...happened lol.
It looks part Star Fox, part Panzer dragoon, will definitely give it a try.
Imagine if it was as good as Resident Evil in those sections, what an awesome game it would be!

Ha yea. It literally was going for $2 almost two years ago. Now it's hovering in the 80's range.
It's weird because Pete Dorr(gaming youtuber) did a video on it way before that and the price didn't jump until later, so I'm guessing some other big youtuber did a video on it around that time?
The shooting/flying aspects are fantastic. The third person parts are unfortunately boring and really don't need to be in the game. Must have been for padding or maybe the developers had grander plans but due to budget had to cut it.
Huh, I didn't realise Um Jammer Lammy was released in PAL. I ended up buying a copy in the USA back in the day.

After playing dozens of the best ranked PSX titles, I think it s a better console than the PS2. I've had more fun with the games than I have with the "best" PS2 titles. Something was lost when Sony went high polygon full 3D. There's something about those crisp pixilated blocks in HD and then the beautiful pre-rendered backgrounds.
I look forward to trying out more of the best of PSX (so many) and few titles have been disappointments. PS2 had a lot of disappointments for me (many of them the sequels o f PSX titles).
Anyone else feel the PS1 (and its SW) is better or more fun than PS2?

Uncensored? What was censored? Also, what version is the censored one? I have the silver box version.

Parappa called Chop Chop Master Onion the n-word.
IrishNinja

they really are - and they come with posters too! at least, PaRappa does
also Um Jammer Lammy (the series' peak) censors the last stage in the US version, it's weak
not as rare as the coveted PAL wu-tang: enter the shaolin controller for true OG's
US versions of Parappa the Rapper 2 have swapped out references of alcohol and religion to secure an E rating. Japanese and European versions have been untouched.
Same minor changes occurred with songs in Um Jammer Lammy and even one scene was altered to secure the E rating. Japan and Europe versions were not changed.
Yeah, PaRappa 1 and 2 have posters. Um Jammer Lammy doesn't...not my copy anyway. Just the manual.
Anyone here picked up the N64 Anthology book by Geeks-Line Publishing? They just started their Playstation Anthology book Kickstarter Campaign.
Kickstarter backers get a silver dust case and 16 unseen pages I believe.
Features are in the kickstarter link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2099439603/playstation-anthology
I love my N64 Anthology so I highly recommend this if you want something nice to accompany your Playstation 1.
Note: They had a Neo Geo campaign but SNK pulled the plug so let's hope Sony doesn't do the same.

I love the N64 book and wish I got in on the kickstarter of it, so thanks for the heads up on this one.
...that extra $20 for shipping though...
I wonder if its because the book is heavier? bigger? Yeah, $20 is a bit much I suppose.

I got the N64 Anthology from them and it's great. I'll definitely be getting this one as well.

I played so many ps1 games for the first time last year.
Snes and ps2 will always dominate the "best console" talk. Even 360 will prolly get more mentions. But man ps1 was a ferocious beast. Its number 1 for me.

No. Go with the Anthology instead. There's too many frames of animation missing and weird pixelated explosions. It was fine for the time when some of us had no other options for home ports of Metal Slug games, but no one should ever play it today considering there are a ton of better options out there.

If you get Anthology, you'll miss out on the cool combat school mini games and 240p visuals. If you don't mind the cut down animation the PS1 version isn't a bad buy.
Doesn't Anthology exclude the hitflash on bosses too? I don't like that.

The PS2 anthology had the hitflashes, I think. But the more memorable aspect of that port was the insane amount of input lag. It's terrible. The Wii version didn't have the input lag issue, but it omitted the hitflashes.
Wouldn't the Saturn one the one to get for 240p? I don't believe it's especially expensive either.
edit
Of course it isn't. Brain fart I thought you guys were talking about the original one.

Happy 4th birthday, this thread that I made!
I haven't played PS1 in 3 years. I understand the silliness of that, since I consider it to probably be my favorite system ever... but hey, at least I've been stocking up on the rarer games on the system. 3 years ago, I didn't have shit like Valkyrie Profile and Suikoden II. Now I do. And haven't opened them :-/

I finally snagged Symphony of the Night! I beat it a couple years ago on the Vita and knew I had to get a copy. I've been trying to go back and get physical copies of all the games I've beaten and enjoyed. I remember liking Ace Combat 2 back in the day and I love the big box games so I grabbed Air Combat. From a collecting aspect I'd love to focus on getting all the big box games.

It has interesting traversal mechanics (you can slide on walls and ceilings) and has fantastic aesthetics.
