I was a little surprised when I saw it, the lady had loads of PS1 games in a basket all marked at £3. Might go back next week and have another look through (I'll ask if I can take a picture of them so you guys can see).

Wow, I've never seen a box like that. Was it exclusive to Tekken?

I wasn't aware at the time, but seemingly there were a few first run PS1 titles that were boxed like that.

Anyone know where I could find PS one saves for Vita versions besides gamefaqs? Looking for a good and tweaked Wild Arms 2 save.

Is there any resolution weirdness with the PS1 version of OB like the Saturn version has?
Dunno but now im curious.
Nay from me. The game is very well designed, with beautiful graphics and music. They crammed it full of everything from adventure to simulation. However, they forgot to make the combat fun. It is absolutely mindless and boring. The CPU AI is worthless. I can't believe they spent so much time making this game, only to seemingly completely forget to code any sort of AI or make the combat interesting. Such a shame.
Yeah, the actual game part of the game kind of does suck. Probably the least fun Mana game from a pure gameplay/fun factor standpoint. Never truly cared for the overly complex and highly unnecessary crafting system nor could I ever truly stand behind the weird stage/world map placement stuff. Although, I do think the game is worth playing alone for those Genesis, Musical Box-era progressive rock tunes from Shimomura. The Darkness Nova/Pain the Universe vs. The Musical Box.

Here's my full collection.
I need to do a better job of remembering what I have, so I don't get too many dupes. I think I'll keep one to play, and one to display, but there's no need for 3 copies of anything!

Brings back some memories, I had this version of Tekken. I'd played Battle Area Toshiden a lot since launch until Tekken got released. Turns out there's 4 games that got the cardboard box release treatment in the UK (I only had Tekken though)

Oh nice, thanks for that. Well now I know what to look out for on my travels around the markets next weekend! Seriously though Charity Stores, Boot Sales and Markets are great hunting grounds.
I haven't had any real issues with the few times I've used Ebay, but some of the prices are crazy. The less said about rip-off P&P the better...

Lol. Keep a list or spreadsheet. If you have a smartphone there's cataloguing software too.

Yeah, I keep my Backloggery updated so I know what I have at any given time. I don't really have a problem remembering that I have Tron Bonne or something like that, but it does help a lot when I run across something like FIFA or another more common game.

Battle Area Toshiden brings me back. One pf my first PSOne games I played and bought. I would totally buy them if they were released on the PSN just for nostalgia. I think I even owned the second and third game too but can't find them in my house.

Does anyone think the PSio (I may be slightly butchering its name) flash cart will come out? I feel like I've been watching it forever. No disdain towards the team intended, of course.

I was visiting my parents this weekend and found a stash of old gaming magazines locked in the parents house vault of time:
I can't believe it's issue #1 and 2 of OPM in pretty much mint condition. Needless to say, I've taken back home with me so that they don't get thrown away if my parents decide to purge my old stuff.

Oh nice!

If we're talking original software, I'm 100% with you.
But PS2 had some good arcade ports. Couple that with the Sega Ages 2500 series, and PS2 is GOAT.
Friend of Sonic

PS1 did have an amazing library. But PS2 was killin' it too. It's hard to say overall which is better! It seems like PS2 was the last system where JRPGs were still in style-- they seem greatly diminished nowadays, but I could just be imagining that.

It would seem Japan-developed RPGs have migrated to dedicated handhelds like DS, 3DS and Vita, as well as mobile devices. I'm not sure if the quantity of them has diminished, but it certainly feels that way.
Friend of Sonic
Member
That is actually a good point. The handhelds seem to be getting a healthy amount of them. I wonder why they're not on consoles as much. I guess AAA budgets are killing the JRPG?
sixteen-bit
Member
That's part of it. Consoles are also in decline in Japan, so they're also just going where the market is.

not gonna find much disagreement here
which of the AGES series do you dig, 16? i know the Treasure & a few others are known for quality, but that one Sega Collection disc that made it over here made the rest seem like a really mixed bunch.
Friend of Sonic

I'm curious too. I found a translated ISO of the first release, the remake of Phantasy Star. Is that worth playing?

does it have speed/XP bonus options? i wanna say the PSN re-releases (JP, but english options) had that

Ditto.
Well as you can see, technically there is a sequel. The US version is actually MTGP 2, while the first one was unreleased in the US. Havent had a chance to fire them up yet.

Was there really ever any argument? PS1 kicks PS2's ass in the library department.
I need some help from you guys. I'm looking for the best way to play import and patched fan translated games on a US PS One system. Do I just need to get a modchip? If so which one should I be looking for? I see some people use an MM3 or I've seen different versions of Stealth chips. What's the difference?

Is there a way to safely clean the lens inside the disc tray?
My PS1 has been reading games very slowly and flat-out won't read my copy of FF7. I know for sure it isn't the disc, because it works perfectly on my PS3.

Does anywhere online sell 3rd party shells like this?
IrishNinja

maybe at the dump
Thanks but I think I want to avoid using something like that so I don't need to leave the lid open and swap discs, etc. I think I would prefer just getting a modchip.

I´m...kind of... on a trashy B-horror game trip right now.
I just got "D" and "Cold Blood / In Cold Blood " in the mail today.
Man, we used to get so many interesting and "out there" games back then...
