Gonna recommend Galarians and Fear Effect as well.
Or just put the opening of Resident Evil on loop.

Seems like they are disappearing fast, not finding any good sites on searches and ebay just gives me mobile phone covers with various consoles pictured on them.

I'd love to re-shell mine. Maybe not transparent toxic green, but pretty much any new shell might look better than the grimy old worn down gray my system is. There's only so much I can clean that system.

My birthday is tomorrow and one of our regular customers totally surprised me at work today. We've talked about how much I love the PS1/PS2 a lot and I've mentioned that there was only one really pricey game left that I needed to pick up. He came by the store today and dropped this off for me. I was speechless!

Wow, you should really thank that guy. Did he have this game for a long time and did not want it anymore?

PlayStation! The machine I grew up with and love. Recently I've been getting overly nostalgic for this little machine. I pretty much always use a PlayStation to play my PlayStation games, instead of a PlayStation 2. Currently have a PAL machine (SCPH-5552) modded with an MM3 modchip to play everything - though this yields slightly wrong timing for NTSC video - which is all I want. Have eradicated this by buying a "junk" SCPH-5500 from Japan and will be swapping parts over to get a Japanese base unit with a chip and 240V PSU that will correctly display NTSC video for my lovely 1995 Sony Trinitron monitor with direct RGB input.
Looks pretty sharp!
Oh anyone looking for Lunar 1, this seems like a good price?

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
Several years ago, I saw the whole Colony Wars trilogy at a gaming store, all for cheap. I put off buying them for too long and they were gone! Since then I've only been able to find 1 and 2. I refuse to play it until I can get the whole trilogy. Then I shall play through them all. Is Red Sun any good? Cause if it sucks I'll just forget about it and enjoy 1 and 2.

I've been keeping an eye out for this, and I finally found it at Goodwill
Sadly, the analog sticks were all wonky so I didn't go for it. It's the Dual Imapact controller. Yes, seems like typical third party trash (and that's probably why the analog sticks were wonked) but it has one feature I find really neat. See how there's three mode settings on the controller? The extra one is for NeGcon mapping to the left analog stick.
NeGcon was a somewhat obscure racing wheel released in Japan, but a lot of racing games pre-Dual Shock used it. Really a game changer for a lot of racing games that (may) suck using a d-pad.
Anyway, I found it to be a neat thing. Plus the controller is a little bigger, and super comfortable to me and my gorilla hands

That is interesting. The neGcon also has 2 analogue face buttons though, I assume it can't do anything to mimic that can it?

Not to mention all the different variations that are out there. http://www.game-rave.com/psx/playstation_perfect_guide/releasedgames/lunar/index.html
That site is pretty cool if you are into finding all the different variations to games that were released on the PS1. I own the Magic Emperor / Xenobia, Phacia, Royce variation. Its is also how I discovered the different between a Tomb Raider III green disc vs. a blue disc version.

Hmm, honestly I am not sure. Here is the discussion thread I was reading in case you were interested. I don't know a whole lot about the negcon

Holy crap, this is a cool site!
This site is gonna eat up all of my time. I was surprise to find out that the three Working Designs games I had were all variation copies! So cool:
Working Designs had the best extras and pack-ins. I'm still annoyed that my local EB Games didn't get the Ghaleon puppet for my Eternal Blue preorder though.
I started playing Vagrant Story for the first time last night after finding it at a flea market. Don't know why but I randomly though "Oh hey that game might be like Demon Souls, it sort of looks like it and I remember it being very weapon based". Only 2 hours in but enjoying it. It looks pretty sharp on a emulator too, have the rendering upscaled like crazy.

Thats exactly the type of game I was looking for.
Thanks so much.

Countdown Vampires and Koudelka if you need more PS1 survival horror games (not as quality as those other suggestions though).
Fantastic game; my favorite, in fact. If you didn't, be sure to leave the game alone when you first start it up, as there are a couple of cut-scenes that only appear there.
My suggestion: skip Red Sun. I never liked it.
Edit: it was developed by Psygnosis. I seem to remember that it was developed by a different team. Perhaps it was a different internal team?
Oh really? I must have missed those then. Just beat the first big Dragon in Lea Monde.
Oh man... I'm leaving this one in a locked chest hidden in the back of the closet. I would spend so much time assembling and re-assembling weapons and leveling them, I became seriously addicted. An evil evil game.... Definitely one of the best of all time, no joke.

The PS1 is my favorite system of all time (nostalgia plays a part, but I love the games).
I'm still discovering titles I missed when they originally released. Mostly I play them these days by buying digitally on PSN, but there's so many games that are missing.
I still have a few of my original discs but I'm honestly not into collecting. Has anyone played Machine Hunter? It was a top down run and gun shooter kind of like Loaded but you could take control of different machine types. Pretty fun game that probably wouldn't get mentioned on GAF normally.
Anyway, yeah I love the PS1. *throws change into PS1's hat*

A couple of new acquisitions since my previous post:
Ace Combat 3
Exodus Guilty: a non-adult visual novel by Hiroyuki Kanno (Yu-No, etc.).
Galerians, sealed.
Kowloon's Gate: a weird adventure game full of CG (4 disks!), sealed.
Circadia: a semi-futuristic adventure game from SCEJ with turn-based battles.
Tantei Jinguji Early Collection: a collection of the 4 Famicom games, 2 of which were written by Kazushige Nojima of Final Fantasy fame.
Tantei Jinguji Tomoshibi ga Kienu ma ni: the last PS game in the famous detective ADV series.
Volfoss: an SRPG from Namco with some weird character and monster designs by Yasushi Nirasawa (Kamen Rider, Garo, etc.).

That's the one where your character could possess different robots, yes? I played the demo on one of those demo disks years ago, and remember liking it enough to want to eventually purchase it, but never did.

Picked up Gussun Oyoyo and Final Fantasy Tactics this weekend.
Pretty happy with Tactics as I got the black label release for the same price the Greatest Hits copy tends to go for, on UK eBay at least. Will be my first time playing it due to it not getting a European release too!

Ever played any of the wipEout games? Get the trilogy of games on PS1 and have great fun playing them with a NegCon. Just feels like it was the way the hovercraft were meant to be controlled!

Yeah, they both work. Check this link (which I contributed to back in the day) for all NegCon compatible games. It's actually quite a few:

Had a little too much to drink the other night and made some impulse buys online, including a copy of the jewel case variant of In the Hunt.
Of course, I run into a copy $15 cheaper the next morning. Go figure.
Gaming-wise, I beat Mega Man 8 for the first time a few days ago.
It was one of the first games I got with my PSX back in the day, so there's a lot of nostalgia in that game for me, especially when it comes to the music. I'm trying to figure out what I'd like to try to tackle next. I'm still about 1/4th of the way through Legaia but I got pretty bored with it. I've finally come across a copy of Punky Skunk that I'll have soon, so I'm thinking about running through that. Really itching to play some platformers instead of a JRPG like usual.

It's the only one I've beaten aside from the Legends/Tron Bonne games.

In the Hunt is so cool. Runs much better on PS1 than Saturn too.

That's what I've heard. I've had my eye on it for a while considering its rarity, but I didn't realize until recently that it was a SHMUP. Always figured it was some kind of Steel Diver-esque game based on the cover, haha. Really excited to try it out.

Yeah, and the art and animation is that unmistakably pre-Nazca Irem. They went on to do Metal Slug.

Yeah it's basically Metal Slug underwater. Awesome game and pretty underrated. Pretty damn rare in PAL land as well.
I have not. I played the PS3 one and really liked it. I should give it a go.

Go for it. Its a godlike racing controller. I also recommend playing Side-by-Side Special with it. Really cool drifting game based on the arcade "Battle Gear".
