Micro Machines have always been good. The Amiga and PS1 games were pretty fun.
Could never get into SoTN. I played all the newer games first and I find it really hard going back, it's just not got a bite like the Sorrow games or Ecclesia, except for that brilliant intro.
Jumping Flash was godlike. Great music and gameplay! Very rare though.
I still play it now and everything. Sure it's easy and they give you too many overpowered weapons but it's the best CV still overall.
You know I think Vandal Hearts was an early game and it has semi-poor visuals for even that time but hells if that isn't one fun strategy game. They made a second game which looked better but otherwise wasn't.
But really, the worst-looking famous game from back then has gotta' be FF7. Check out those character polygontomatons! Looks like I just made a word too!

DXF Games, coming next: Hasslevania 2- This Space for Rent!
final fantasy 7 didnt really look bad. the character models on the field are low poly and use goroud shading sure, but the prerendered 2d backdropd were great, the battle graphics are stunning (bar some enemies) and the fmvs werr amazing back in 1997.
oh i just thought of aanother one! wild arms. another top psonee rpg
Rayman 1 was a good 2d platform game
Crash Team Racing (CTR) was one of the best racing games i've ever played
Harry Potter 1 was pretty decent with it's 3D graphics/game
Spyro series is always a win!
Ya know, you could just buy a PS2 and play PS1 and PS2 games on it!
actually Rayman 2 for the playstation 1 was pretty damn good too although slightly cutdown compared with the other versions. The graphics were fantastic for a psone game.
Oh man, so many classic titles! Sod the SNES, 1997 and the Playstation was the REAL golden era of gaming!
There's also the first Colony Wars (i couldn't get into Red Sun, don't have the other yet), it still looks great today!
Felony 11-79, good fun but way too short
Runabout 2, virtually gaming perfection
Doom, naturally (it's different to the PC version and really creepy)
Spider (scientist bloke turns himself into a spider, like you do. Probably inspired a million insect tortures)
Agent Armstrong (3D-ish, trigger happy platformer, Metal Slug-esque)
Command and Conquer Red Alert (hours wasted...)
Disruptor (crazy guns!)
And the offical UK magazine (dunno about other countries) would give away discs full of playable demos every month! As opposed to todays boring videos. I never even owned a great quantity of the games i loved. There was another one with robots that was top-down and a bit strategic that i would love to own, but i don't remember it's name.

I disagree. The SNES was the peak of 2d gaming. The PS1 was significant as the first major 3d console, but the games have hardly aged well. I recently bought the Megadrive Ultimate Collection, and those games still look pretty good, I can't say the same for the PS1 games I've played.

Both 360 and PS3 has hundreds of demos available for download And to my knowledge the official Xbox and Playstation magazines still give out demo discs.
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -
I hear a lot of good stuff about Chrono Cross
Legend of Dragoon was pretty good, it aged fairly well actually I think.
I have fond memories of Digimon World, but you have to put a lot time into it to enjoy it.
Digimon Rumble Arena was a blast, it was pretty much a cheaped out Super Smash Bros., but still amazing to play I thought.
The very first Medal of Honor was a great game. I definitely think its still worth playing.
Tomb Raider would be something I'd buy, if not for play quality, for its meaning to games as we know them today.
I'm sure there's something else I'm not thinking about too.

Whoawhoawhoa me laddo! I still have my mountain of PS1 demo discs (including the "fabled" original Demo One!) and they were still full of videos. Well the split was like 75% games 25% video. In later years they threw in some Net Yaroze games too.
Infact one of my demo discs had the full intro to FFVII.
I've just recently started collecting PS1 Games as well.
I was always a big fan of Robo Pit, I don't know many people who actually knew that game. I secured a copy of the second one, but I think the added story kind of killed it just a little bit. I perferred the arcade style of the first one a bit more.
Clocktower was a great concept, except the flow from story to gameplay was really shoddy, although the second game kind of fixed that, it really didn't make up for the fact that that game sucked.
You know, I like alot of older games, and I like alot of newer games, but has anyone noticed that most of the games nowadays really hold your hand? It's like I remember playing Doom and even later Goldeneye and when you were killed in a level that was it, right back to the beginning. Now games are littered with "Checkpoints" that seem to happen like every 2 minutes of gameplay. Getting to my point, Robo Pit, a game in which you battle other robots and take there weapons, doesn't fit in with most of the kids I've met. In this game, if you lose a battle, that robot takes one of your weapons. That's it, he keeps it, you have to earn it back again. My girlfriends 3 little brothers, ranging from 8-12 would litterally bawl like crazy anytime they lost 1 match. They're used to games nowadays going "oops, you just got shot, YOU WIN." It's not just in video games, but in sports, school and life in general. Hell, when I was in school the only people that got away with that were the handicapped kids, which in my opinion is even worse.
I work with my God Father, Eddie. He's not my actual God Father, it's just a term we threw at him because he used to baby sit me all the time and whatnot. He's a big fan of Mortal Combat and every time we played, since he's got 6 years on me he'd kick the living tar out of me and never give me a chance, after all, how was I going to learn to kick the living tar out of him (which I now do currently on occasion) if all he did was let me win all the time?
I think we can all learn from this.
LEARN DAMMIT.
