That console gameswise is still the best playstation ever.

Wow, I was thinking Final Fantasy VII and Parappa the Rapper when I first read the title of the thread and they were on there. Brought back some great memories! I was surprised to see FF Tactics on there, its one of my favorite games but I don't know if it really defined the history of PSone. I think the GTA 3 and Vice City should have been more than just honorable mentions.

Interesting to see so many RPGs on there, the golden years.

If you're talking about games that defined the history of the ps1, MGS along with FF VII (as much as I hate FF) are at the top of the list.

Not only do I have the FFVII soundtrack on my iPod for sentimentality's sake, I was determined to have the Gold Saucer theme playing on my way to a Disney World trip...

(Right next to the "Surfin' Chocobo" theme, even though I couldn't name a single piece of music off of FFX-2 if you paid me.)

The original PS is still my favorite system to this day. I can still remember the first time I played Resident Evil. It was unlike any gaming experience prior. It's still one of the best of the series IMO....along with RE2.

The one game that I got completely immersed in on the PSX was "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night". I played that game for hours on end, seven days a week, for probably a year or more. After beating it, I just kept playing, over and over...it was like an addiction. Eventually, I bailed on it, because I couldn't get all the imagery out of my mind. I was consistently thinking of things like demons, spells, vampires, skeletons, satanic sorcerers....my very being got messed up pretty bad. The last game I played in the series was "Harmony of Dissonance" for the GBA, and I quit cold turkey after that.

GTA III and Vice City were on the PS2. The GTAs referred to in the article are the top down GTAs like GTA, GTA II and London 1969.

Ah, cool list! I was hoping to see Tomb Raider on there. I love those games, too bad the newest trilogy wasn't that good in comparison to the playstation era...Much like the newer Resident Evil games, or the recent Silent Hill games, or...In fact, the only series I can think of which has been completely consistant in terms of being a great game is Metal Gear Solid, out of the ones I've played, anyway.

When I think of the PlayStation the games that come to mind are:
- Jumping Flash!
- WipeOut
- Ridge Racer
- Tomb Raider
- Resident Evil
- Silent Hill

The first 4 games listed are the ones I bought when I first purchased my PS1. I recall going to KB Toy store during Christmas time. I do believe I finished all of those games also. Great memories!

"The Hamburglar character was another thief that dressed in a black-and-white striped shirt and pants, a red cape, and a wide-brimmed hat and whose primary object of theft was McDonalds hamburger from the Hamburger Patch... Although he was a thief, he was still considered a friend of Ronald McDonald and the rest of the McDonaldland gang, who appeared to tolerate his kleptomania as an eccentricity."
