For me it would have to be:
Bomberman World
Crash Bandicoot 2
Future Cop LAPD
Kula World/Roll Away
Kurushi Final/Intelligence Qube
Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus
Silent Hill
Tekken 3
Tomb Raider
Wipeout 2097/XL
One entry per series.
Excluded Harry Potter because popular licenced IP.
Excluded Dragon Quest VII because nearly all of its sales were from Japan. Didn't release in PAL regions.
Rayman is the highest selling PS1 game in the UK. Oddworld and Tony Hawk have the same sales numbers.
Pretty on-point. Swap out Soul Reaver for Ape Escape since that game pioneered analog stick usage on PS1. Tony Hawk should be in there in place of SOTN for bonus point.
I never even played Tomba but I feel like I saw 6 million advertisements for it at all times, so it's one of the first games I think of when I think "Playstation"
Are you from America or Europe? Wipeout was very big in Ireland and England. Everyone I knew with a PS1 had it and Tomb Raider 2 or 3 and one of the Crash games and MGS.

For me, PS1 is defined by its fixed angle horror and jarpig library, with the occasional platformer and shooter thrown in for good measure.
>Marvelshit
marvelshit was created by disney in 2009.
Spidey games on psx were created by neversoft and activision clean your mouth before speaking about peter paker, the spectacular spider-man.
>I don't think MGS belongs
its literally one of the best game on the system and one of its most impressive game too.
i tried to replay the spiderman game as i loved it as a kid but its fricking dogshit my dude and just show how low were my standard back then.
Final Fantasy 7
Wipeout
Oddworld
Crash Bandicoot
Parappa the Rapper
Gran Turismo
Tomb Raider 2
Resident Evil 2
Twisted Metal 2 maybe
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater maybe
Tekken (3 or 2) maybe
and I also for some reason am not so sure about putting MGS on the list, but I don't know how to explain it
while a great game, vagrant story was heavily influenced by the tech from mgs1 and the devs even cited it for some of their inspiration behind its design.
worth a playthrough for anyone here btw.
Came out late during the PS1 lifespan, didn't sell that well and in my opinion is not even one of the best Squaresoft titles on the console, even Chrono Cross is a lot more relevant.
Tomb Raider II
WipeOut 1
Crash 2
Spyro The Dragon
Final Fantasy VII
Gran Turismo
Medievil
Kula World
Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone
Rayman
Oddworld; Abe's Odysee
Lot of good objective answers in this thread.
But for me, PS1 was:
Ape Escape
Crash Bandicoot
Digimon World
Dragon Warrior VII
Medievil
Monster Rancher 2
Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus
and THPS2.
I’ve had other games, I’ve played other games, and I even like other games more than some of the ones here, but these eight games were what PlayStation meant to me.
So from reading the thread it seems the 100% agreed upon things are
A Tomb Raider game
A Tekken game
A Crash Bandicoot game
A Resident Evil game
Final Fantasy 7
Everything else seems to have some dispute about it
GT2
croc
Croc is a pc game
frick you soul reaver is a Dreamcast game, his health bar is the fricking logo of the console
but it was on ps1 for like 6 months before it came to dreamcast
So Tomb Raider is a Saturn game?
TR2 is in the op pic not TR1 and TR2 was not on Saturn.
Did it come out on the Saturn first?
Yes, PC and psx ones are ports.
>PS1 version came before Dreamcast version
Are you perhaps schizophrenic?
tomb raider 1 is a Saturn game then?
For me it would have to be:
Bomberman World
Crash Bandicoot 2
Future Cop LAPD
Kula World/Roll Away
Kurushi Final/Intelligence Qube
Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus
Silent Hill
Tekken 3
Tomb Raider
Wipeout 2097/XL

Excluded Harry Potter because popular licenced IP.
Excluded Dragon Quest VII because nearly all of its sales were from Japan. Didn't release in PAL regions.
Rayman is the highest selling PS1 game in the UK. Oddworld and Tony Hawk have the same sales numbers.
how the frick is rayman best selling
Launch title + big in Europe
What percentage of people do you think got past Band Land? I would be surprised if it's above 10%.
>PSP Gran Turismo
But yeah, that list looks good. I wish WipEout made it on there.
I think you could replace Rayman with TPHS1 and It'd be perfect.
>Excluded Harry Potter because popular licenced IP.
moronus maximus
I HATE harry potter, but you can't deny its two entries on psx HELPED psone to sell 28 million console units.
>Excluded Harry Potter because popular licenced IP.
Playstation was home to enough license shovelware, that excluding it is disingenuous.
Pretty on-point. Swap out Soul Reaver for Ape Escape since that game pioneered analog stick usage on PS1. Tony Hawk should be in there in place of SOTN for bonus point.
croc 2
spyro
I never even played Tomba but I feel like I saw 6 million advertisements for it at all times, so it's one of the first games I think of when I think "Playstation"
>What games best represent the original PlayStation?
Shitty generic anime jarpigs and boring turn based ""strategy"" kusoge #34010
Well, if you were a boy you had to have popular fighting game franchises, and it had them unlike some systems.
You just described the Saturn
I'd say take out Tomb Raider and Legacy of Kain
Replace with Gran Turismo, Parapa the rapper, Suikoden 2 or Xenogears
parappa absolutely represented ps1
it needs to be on the list
>take out Tomb Raider
I assume you must not be from EU as Tomb raider was gigantic here.
The 10 best selling PSX games, if only counting 1 game per franchise
id swap harry potter for parappa the rapper or even oddworld but otherwise thats a pretty definitive top 10.
this is pretty much the style of the ps1. id swap DQ with Wipeout though.
why the frick are people making this about sales numbers
not as bad as people naming 1 game instead of 10. that's pretty fricking weird
what's weird about it
there's never gonna be agreement anyway
>what games defined the Playstation
>noooo not the top 10 best selling games on the system nooo
I'm gonna chip in my 2c and say Oddworld
Medal of Honor instead of wipeout
Pro Skater instead of Soul reaver
buddy, wipeout is quintessential ps1
it's the 1 game that needs to be on the list no matter what
No one I knew back then gave a shit about wipeout tbh
Are you from America or Europe? Wipeout was very big in Ireland and England. Everyone I knew with a PS1 had it and Tomb Raider 2 or 3 and one of the Crash games and MGS.
I kinda wanna say Medievil, but idk
Harvest Moon
Swap put tomb raider 2 for the original, and soul reaver for tony hawk (or more accurately, some generic snowboarding game)

This dude just listed every PS1 game, lol
The PS1 has more than three thousand games so not even close
You clearly didn't live in Europe and especially not in the UK
Unfathomably moronic makes-his-own-rules anarcho-anon
Same. For PS kids and adults alike cared a hell of a lot more about GT or obscure shit like daredevil derby.
The first 10 I think of:
>MGS1
>Crash
>Spyro
>Tomb Raider
>Silent Hill
>Ape Escape
>Symphony of the Night
>Resident Evil
>FF7
>Tekken or Oddworld
Sounds about right to me
these ones
Crash Bandicoot
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
Crash 3: Warped
CTR: Crash Team Racing
Crash Bash
Tomb Raider
Tomb Raider 2
Tomb Raider 3: Adventures of Lara Croft
Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation

Nice picks in this thread, especially Harry Potter. You're all forgetting Spider-Man though
Tekken 3
Final Fantasy 7
Tomb Raider (any)
Resident Evil (any)
Spyro (any)
Crash (any)
Gran Turismo (any)
Tony Hawk (any)
Harry Potter
Spider-Man
Rounds out the list. I don't think MGS belongs. Wipeout is a good pick, it would be my #11
>MGS doesn't belong but Marvelshit does
>Marvelshit
marvelshit was created by disney in 2009.
Spidey games on psx were created by neversoft and activision clean your mouth before speaking about peter paker, the spectacular spider-man.
There’s been so many trash marvel games over the years my dude. It has nothing to do with Disney.
Are you nuts? MGS is probably THE PlayStation game. Its like have a Nintendo console list without Zelda.
"THE" PlayStation game is Gran Turismo
MGS isn't even in the top 5
Not everyone plays racing games. Everyone played MGS.
>Not everyone plays racing games
When Gran Turismo 1 and 2 came out everybody did, trust me.
Racing games are niche genre. Everyone plays action games like MGS.
You do know that the highest selling PS1 game was Gran Turismo 1 right? Also maybe take a look at the library and see how many racing games it had.
Hardcore gamers are delusional
You got that backwards
>I don't think MGS belongs
its literally one of the best game on the system and one of its most impressive game too.
i tried to replay the spiderman game as i loved it as a kid but its fricking dogshit my dude and just show how low were my standard back then.
>RE2 instead of RE1

2 was more popular.

No Vagrant Story? This thread is shit.
while a great game, vagrant story was heavily influenced by the tech from mgs1 and the devs even cited it for some of their inspiration behind its design.
worth a playthrough for anyone here btw.

Any list that doesn't include Tomba is completely wrong. It was the main demo game for every kiosk at Sears and ToysRUs that was demoing a PS1.
This is the definitive and objective list, anyone who disagrees is either a zoomer or too senile to remember.
Agree with all your choices apart from Soul Reaver. Replace that with Gran Turismo
