Sony's Playstation 1 is one of the most influential and highest selling video game consoles of all time. But it's also got one of the deepest libraries out there. THAT MEANS we got all kinds of Forgotten and Weird Vidya games to tackle, and you know I'm up for the task. I'm also extremely tired.

HOWDY HAPPY 2023! And by that I mean mid February because I took a snoozer. My birthday's tomorrow also, and I plan to have the big sleep again cause you'll be getting TWO videos this week. You interested in Gotham Knights? Just a few more days, pwomise.

ANYWAYS, what are some other old PS1 games I should take a look at? Or just, you know, hidden gems that time is forgetting about? I gots to know.

I'm sure that I'm not the only one who's gonna mention this, but that VIP Starring Pamela Anderson game is actually based on a real TV show. VIP aired in syndication between 1998 and 2002, and starred Pam as the head of a bodyguard agency. The closest thing I can compare it to is probably Charlie's Angels with a lot more self awareness. I haven't seen it in a number of years but I can't imagine it's aged well at all.

I'm literally so very convinced that Gru and his Minions was inspired by Misadventures of Tron Bonne

both are self-proclaimed villain, both have huge debt to pay, and both have yellow minions/servants that will do anything, both also save the day in the end

like, you can't tell me its just a coincidence

I had a very large PS1 games growing up but I only remember about half of them because I was addicted to action games and RPGs. We never had any racing or sports games but we had a bit of everything else. Fighting, strategy (real time and turn based), rpgs/jrpgs and a boat load of shooters and action types. My dad was a gamer and loved to share his favorite hobby with his kids. I now have a son to share my hobby with. 😁

Vagrant story was awesome

@axebear7101 3 years ago

My dad and I both loved Alundra. I still replay it every couple years.

15:00 but VIP starring Pamela Anderson was an IP... A TV show

I loved playing Apocalypse. A twin stick shooter... that used buttons instead of a stick, the jankiest platforming and the edgiest ost I still enjoy.

This was a great time where no one was sure how 3D should be done, so there was a lot of wild experimentation allowed.

The developers who did Jersey Devil also did the Bugs Bunny: Lost In Time game.

Pandemonium was a great game but seemingly forgotten

for the longest time, I thought I'd imagined Kingsley's Adventure. my mom played a lot of it when I was young but I never heard anyone ever mention it for years. then some five years ago I remembered it and asked around, found out the name and was transported back into my childhood

32:40 Just hearing that name got my blood pressure up...

I love Koudelka. It's not the most mechanically engaging game, but it's aesthetically a cut above the rest. The cutscenes, voice acting, story and presentation are a all great, and the combat really isn't any more tedious than a lot of other games of the time. my fav obscure ps1 game

Finally, an obscure games video that actually contains obscure games

One PS game I loved back in middle school I feel no one remembers or ever talks about was an Atlus game called Kartia. Tactics, monsters, and card playing. It was a lot of fun

Stray Sheep: Adventure of Poe and Merry... NOW THATS SUPER OBSCURE.

Two games I always suggest as hidden gems are Azure Dreams and Rollcage. Azure Dreams was a Mystery Dungeon/Roguelike with some monster collecting, town building, and dating elements. One of Konamis best hidden gems. Rollcage on the other hand is a really fun racing game when the cars can flip over and still keep driving. It's like Mario Kart mixed with Wipeout.

Oh men KINGSLEY was actually my first game on ps1. I remember playing it with my father, amazed by the graffics of the new console at that time. This video made me feel so much nostalgia, i didnt remember it at all, thank you so much, big props from Argentina!

I loved Alundra (although I never finished it). You’re so right about there being a plethora of JRPGs on the PS1. I really wish more of them could be gathered into a collection or given remasters. And turn-based combat is still my jam at 40 years old, lol!
