Empress Brosephine posted:Are any of those goodon playstayion the doom and command & conquer ports are good. doom especially owns because it has a new soundtrack that's way more atmospheric and creepy than the pc one, better lighting than what was available on pc at the time, and the map selection is huge so between the two games you get almost every level from doom, doom 2, master levels, and final doom as well as the ones made for the jaguar version and a handful of playstation-exclusive maps. c&c is pretty much a straight port from the pc versions but the one that compiles the expansion packs for red alert has a bunch of new cutscenes linking the missions together like a proper c&c game

PSXCOM is exactly as irritating as you'd imagine a port of a mouseclicky game to be.

Diablo had coop but I don’t think it was split screen. Had to navigate around the same screen if I recall. There was also a Warcraft 2 port. It was functional, but I wouldn’t call it playable.

Possibly, I remember it feeling incredibly clunky and unnatural at the time. Still amazing that it ran on the PS1 at all though.

Wizardry VII got a Japan only PSX release, but I'm not sure if it was a port or not. The graphics are considerably different (3D), which leads me to believe it's proooobably built from the ground up.

Weedle posted:compiling a list of classic pc games that got playstation ports. not just cross-platform games that were released on pc and ps1 but games most closely associated with the pc that were later ported to ps1. i have no real reason for doing this other than that it is personally satisfying to me Gunship 2000 got a PS1 port. They dropped the 2000 and just called it Gunship.

I feel similarly about Tomba 2, still have a copy of 1 but 2 was sold long ago and now it's pricey. Meanwhile I finished Tomba video and the maps were released on VGMaps along with some Vagrant Story ones: https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/PSX/index.htm#Tomba https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/PSX/index.htm#VagrantStory Next PS1 game to focus on is the very first PS1 game I had besides demo discs: Tomb Raider! https://twitter.com/hatersgonnahate/status/1374168338314723338

I'm playing ps1 lightgun games! Got a crt, a real guncon, and a bunch of games. Time crisis - it's time crisis and it loving rules. I use the controller on the ground to stomp for exiting cover Time crisis: project titan - it's time crisis with some tc2 enhancements like multiple hits, combos adding life, and multi cover spots. Elemental gearbolt - anime and incomprehensible as gently caress, but the levels and music give a very panzer dragoon vibe (if you play it with a controller it basically is...). Light rpg elements to either become stronger or increase your score, I have a lot of fun with this one Die hard trilogy 2 - DHT 1 doesnt work with the guncon, so i grabbed this one. it's a little wack but basically an area 51 clone. decent death animations when you shoot dudes in the balls. point blank 2 - this game is hard as poo poo to play on a smaller tv, need to get a bigger crt to really get into it. gotta get the rest of the guncon compatible games like judge dredd before i move on to saturn, ps2, and dreamcast but i love me a quick 15-20 mins of shooting pixels as a way to unwind.

My lack of CRT really hurts me with my lightgun collection, I have all the Time Crisis games (that matter), both G.Con 45 and G.Con 2 and no way of actually playing them properly.

I checked a few local thrift stores and nothing. I ended up using an app called OfferUp to search locally and all the listings were ancient. After trying to get one from 4 different people I snagged a lil 13 inch one (heh). This is a temp fix, if I find anything larger I'm grabbing it immediately.

That's about the same size as the old TV my PlayStation was hooked up to back in the day. Point Blank was an instruction as much as it was a title.

I remember taking my PS1 to a store in Glasgow (the late, lamented G-Force) that installed modchips back in the day. The guy asked me what I was planning on using it for, since there was apparently a bunch of modchips that were better at different things. I said I was intending on getting a bunch of imported US games (that the store also sold), so that was my main priority. The guy winked at me and said 'yeah, sure, I getcha'. I was standing there with copies of Persona 1&2, Chrono Cross and FFT I'd literally just bought and was like, 'no, really.' The guy said I was the first person in about a year who'd got his PS1 chipped to play legit games and usually gave me a nod and a hello whenever I went in after that. I still have that PS1 (and the copies of Persona 1&2). I still have a decent number of the games I imported way back when as well. My library isn't as big as it used to be - I used to buy and trade rare games and had just about every rare title worth mentioning at one point or another - but I still have a bunch that matter to me. After The War posted:PSXCOM is exactly as irritating as you'd imagine a port of a mouseclicky game to be. They (the original and TFTD were both released on PS1) took up an entire PS1 memory card for saves as well. I think you got maybe five or ten save slots, which, in a game like X-Com, is nowhere near enough. I vaguely remember both games being compatible with the PS1 mouse and I imagine they'd be a hell of a lot more fun/playable with them.

About 6 weeks later, finished a version of all Tomb Raider I maps: https://twitter.com/hatersgonnahate/status/1389209922701778947?s=20 This project has made me appreciate this game a lot more, especially in comparison to other 3D third person action adventures from 1996-1998.

I'm playing Parappa 2 for the first time and it's really good! I'm not sure why I never checked it out earlier considering Parappa and Um Jammer are the best games on the PS1. The story is nonsense but the songs are top notch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFUootEqM8g

Nah, the dedicated PS2 thread is good for all the crazy hardware/homebrew questions about hard drives, frontloaders, softmods, networking, interlacing, and different hard drives that probably bore the poo poo out of people who just want to talk about games.
