I got a ps1 and I need more games

[Deeth Irteen]

on christmas, I got a ps1 for christmas (my first words were: wtf?). Now it just sits next to my tv, begging me to play final fantasy7 (my only ps1 game) instead of contemplating whether I should sell it for a quick buck. So, anyone know where I can get a copy of FF8 or FF9? or any other good ps1 games?
I'd just say the hel with it and play on the ps2 and/or Wii downstairs, but the ps1's the only console in the house I can play for hours uninterrupted.





God, I feel so pathetic

Unless you got a local store or friends with old PS1 games, you're going to have to rely on web sites for that.

You won't make much if you sell it. I can buy refurbished Ps1's for $10 where I live. You can find them used for around $5-10 in Goodwill stores.

You'd pay more in gas driving to a pawn shop than what you'd make selling it.

Tell us what you like first. Recommendations come after that. As far as where to buy games, Gamestop discontinued purchase of older generation games although some of the larger stores continue to sell them. Outside of that, pawn shops (rare games for great prices because they're idiots!), yard sales, and "retro stores" which will always charge you an arm and a leg then online is the only other place.

I guess... I still enjoy a lot of PS1 games, like Parasite Eve, Silent Hill, Omega Boost, Einhander, etc. The "old" graphics don't bother me at all.

Re: I got a ps1 and I need more games

It's not that they're old more so that they're graphically distorted, buggy and ugly.

Those games you mentioned are in the 10% because they get around the limitations of the PSone
through the use of pre-rendered backgrounds, fog/darkness to mask rampant pop-in and so forth.

you casual. i play all of my pc games at the lowest settings because thats how hardkore (with a k) i am!1

Re: I got a ps1 and I need more games

90% of all PSone games are unplayable because of the graphics.

I think that's a bold generalization based on your personal opinion. Other people (myself included) might actually enjoy games that you deem "unplayable."

For example: Vib-ribbon uses vector based graphics and I still love it, because it's a fun game.

I'm sure there is a lot of garbage out there, but you could say that about any system's game library.

I think that's a better description for N64 games.

So, PSone games, huh? I'd suggest Parappa the Rapper, Um Jammer Lammy, Metal Gear Solid and Mega Man Legends if you can find them.

Oh, man, I gotta play Omega Boost again.

No, just FFVII, VIII and IX. There are only 3 good PS1 games. :V

And I thought you and Ashley Riot were BFF. What a cold brush-off.
