Diablo, Warcraft 2, Dark Stone, Neverwinter Nights were the games that built the foundation for today's fantasy styled games. They were the games of the 1990s that came after the Video Game Crash of the 1980s....where Nintendo and Sega revived the video game industry.
It depends the game and the port. They had to modify the controls for Warcarft II for the controller, but the main gameplay depth hasn't changed. They may have added some weird story elements, but owning both the PC version, and PS1 version, I can say the depth of the gameplay, and most of the single player missions are mostly unchanged. Obviously there were cuts made to the game because of the hardware limitations of the PS1. No network play, no map editor. Most retro PC gamers would scoff at console games as being for kids. PC was for the "Mature adults," and PC gamers were always snobbish toward PC-to-console ports, or games that started on the PC, but had sequels that were "consoled up" like Deus Ex: The Invisible War. Again, it depends on the game and the port. For most strategy ports to the PS1, like Command and Conquer, and Civilization II, the main differences weren't in the gameplay depth department, but hardware constraints. Sometimes the console ports were entirely different games, like Quake II on the N64, or even the Saturn version of Powerslave. Honestly, I can't think of any PC-to-Console ports that were dumbed down in the gameplay department. For the most part, they tried to stay as faithful to the PC version as they could, hardware considered. Here's an old video I posted of the actual game in action on the PS1: ruclips.net/video/OIeZeNsl9pg/видео.html Gameplay-wise, it wasn't dummbed down, it just doesn't run as well.

Love the PS1 videos,keep'em up
It's kinda ironic that EA made a port of Warcraft 2 then later bought Blizzard's rival, Westwood.
I wonder what would have happened if they had bought blizzard instead.
кто-нибудь знает как трек называется ?
Wait, Warcraft 2 existed on the PS1?
And Saturn
оо дааа
so even decades ago, the games were more brainless, more dumbed down when switching to consoles

This intro video is 100% made as a response/callback to the Red Alert intro that was a pretty huge release on the PS1.
