Tombi/Tomba

Final Fantasy Tactics <-- My All Time Favorite
Gran Turismo 1 - best gameplay of the series
Metal Gear Solid
i'm guessing these games won't appeal to your tastes based on your list.

Metal Gear Solid
Tekken 3
Final Fantasy Series
Final Fantasy Tactics
Vargant Story
Megaman X Series
Dino Crisis
Metal Slug
Sadly the PSX is most famous for its RPGs, if youre not a fan of thoose MGS is your only choice, the other good games probably have sequels that improved the gameplay a whole lot.

I have FFT. I didn't put it on the list, since I have no idea how it is. I've heard of MGS, but I've never really played stealth games.

Silent Hill 2 is for the PS2.
I've played both RE 1, and 2. Haven't played 3 so I'll take a look into that.
As for the Silent Hill Games. I will defiantly take a look at 1.
Thanks.

Wrong place to ask. Maybe Mickey can PM you. -_-
I looked through the list and they don't look like games I'd finish/play. =/
Maybe Tomba! and Megaman Legends.

Spyro and Crash bandicoot, great games
|
"Jumping Flash" is a very nice first generation PS game. It's not for everyone though, so you may want to take a look at it first. The graphics will look dated, the concept is fun. If you're into platformers, there's the spyro the dragon/crash bandicoot series. I found them to be fun games, but if you're into platformers around that time, I'd suggest playing N64.
The megaman X series is all good, but you should also play megaman 8 anniversary edition. Also, if you're into megaman, I really enjoyed The Misadventures of Tron Bonne.
The twisted metal series is pretty fun, especially the 2nd one, if you're into those types of games.
If rpg's are boring or something, you could try playing tales of destiny 1/2, as they're not turn based, similarly you could try Threads of Fate as it's more of an action rpg than tales of destiny. There's also Brave Fencer Musashi and a list of others I'm probably forgetting.
There's the grand theft auto games if you're into those.
If you like resident evil, there's dino crisis 1 and 2.
I'd personally reccomend Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.
Finally, if you're into scrolling shooters, I'm sure there's quite a few, I personally enjoyed raiden project, although I'm sure it's not the best out there.
Of course there's a whole list of amazing rpg's too.

Enough with the Square Enix RPG's.
Their box art is pretty, but do YOU REALLY recommend it?

Quality post thank you for contributing.
Since some people might agree, or disagree? I think I'm going to be putting the Metacritic score on these games. However, if you feel any other site has less biased reviews. Please tell me.

I'll finish up later. This is starting to make me feel like it's work.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2.
Best fucking PSX game EVER.
Edit: Also, for RPG's, Star Ocean.

Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together
Jade Cacoon
Rest I would have suggested have been already suggested.

hmmmm
Gun Parade March?

Spyro the dragon is awesome with lots of treasure to find. You can also check out the original rayman, and I definately recommend Brave Fencer Musashi. Extremely fun, not to mention lots of things to try out due to an ability to copy monsters abilities I bealive(I haven't played in awile).
|
FFT is really great, I recommend playing through it at least once. Breath of Fire 3&4 were pretty good as well, alongside with Chrono Trigger (the port) and Chrono Cross. Armored Core 1, 2 and Master of Arena were really enjoyable too. 
|
*grabs stack of black cd's nearby*
Ooooookay skimmed the thread and I'm going to attempt to skip over titles already mentioned.
Wipeout XL
Xenogears
Wild Arms
Twisted Metal 2
G-Police
G-Police: Weapons of Justice
Star Ocean: the second story
Armored Core
Chrono Cross
Dragonball Z Legends (hated DBZ after the first season but this game was fun as hell)
Air Combat
Ace Combat 2 and 3
Megaman X series
If I had to narrow that down to a top three:
G-Police
Wipeout XL
Twisted Metal 2
EDIT: Ok my post took a while as I was sifting through these so the poster above me snuck in.

Chocobo's Dungeon 2
Legend of Legaia
Crash Team Racing
Dino Crisis 2
My personal favorites not mentioned yet. Chocobo's Dungeon is extremely addicting, as is Legend of Legaia. I highly recommend those two.

Sometimes under a full moon, I hear the wind carry a word...TENCHU.. it whispers...
Shhh..

I preferred tenchu 2 :D
or was that for ps2?

1. Valkyrie Profile wasn't developed by Square Enix. (It was published by Enix pre-Square Enix and developed by Tri-Ace.) Unless you're really a believer in financial backing and publishing making the difference rather than the people actually coming up with 100% of the ideas and implementing them.
2. It has a great non-button-mashing battle system, really good dungeon design and platforming puzzles, some of the best music on the PSX, etc.?
3. What does the box art have to do with anything?
It's arguably the best RPG on the system. Star Ocean 2 might be more appropriate for you if you want a more free-roaming action RPG, as VP is simultaneously both action-based and turn-based. I'd have to recomment SO2 over Tales of Destiny 1-2. Vagrant Story's combat is kind of disappointingly repetitive, and you spend a lot of time swapping stuff in the clunky menus--unfortunate because menus and equipment management is 90% of the game, and the rest of the game is great. Oh and the Risk system is kind of a failure.
Tactics Ogre is the best TRPG on the Playstation definitely, with a lot more substance than FFT. FFT pretty much is newer, with better graphics, and a whole lot more character customization and growth in terms of learning skills and such, but TO gives you more solid mechanics and isn't nearly as filled with broke-ass characters and skills that make the game too easy.
Megaman X4's probably not as good as X1-3 but it's still great if you like those kinds of games. Later games in the X series are worse.
But yeah really, most games have been mentioned already. The PSX is really an RPG console on the whole. What genres are you into instead?

I loved the tenchu games. However the view distance isnt far enough and enemies end up seeing you before you can even see them. Not exactly somehting thats good for a stealth game.
A great game was Bushido Blade 2. Best drinking game ever. Loser takes a shot.
|
bushido blade is so horribly underrated
its incredibly fun
and because there are so many OHKOs, you cant rely on button mashing to win

I forgot all about Bushido Blade, I loved part 2. I could never get one of the secret characters though. Scarlet I think? I'd always die on the match where you had to not die on. Every single fucking time.

Damn I forgot about Bushido Blade.. man I had hilarously good 1 vs 1 's with that game. One of my friends would freak out on the controller when your weapons locked and you had to push buttons real fast to break away.. I laugh so hard I could hardly play.. haha man..
This reminds of another of my favorites, Armored Core 1 vs 1 was a fucking blast.

I personally dont think Chrono cross is a must play.
Also I heard X5 blows hard ass.
Liked x4 tho.

Well... Remove Wild Arms, Air Combat, one of the Ace Combats, and just play one Megaman X game. Really I just wanted to list a bunch of really great games and some underdogs (Wipeout and G-Police are the biggest underdogs of that list, they deserve a fuckload more attention then they ever received).
I meet too many people who owned a PSX back in the day and haven't played a quarter of the games on that list because they either didn't have the money or time, but a lot of them are worth playing and my top three are definitely still fun to play today regardless of the graphical and technical limitations they had back then.

Megaman 8 (pretty darn hard)
Megaman X series
FF9 is personally my favorite final fantasy.
If your into fighting games, King of Fighters '99 is pretty good.
|
megaman x4 was really the only psx one I liked. holy fuck the zero sword combos were fucking amazing
when they started moving to the semi 3d style it really got kinda shitty IMO
and I liked KOF2k6 <_< >_>
mainly for the ending music - it contains a storyline spoiler though, so dont watch if you really care about the storyline
