I liked playing Croc: Legend of the Gobbos when I was a kid.
I'd vote for Future Cop: LAPD. The arena battles against the computer were super fun.
You guys have no idea how freaking happy you made me when I saw The Unholy War on here!
Reason I clicked on the video. Love The Unholy War!!!! We need a remake or remaster
It’s like a core piece of Peter’s personality.
Me too! I have a pristine copy of it too, such a brilliant game
Straight up. My homie and I used to go crazy on the Vs. And I loved the strategy mode as well. Most definitely a hidden gem if there was one. I never hear this mentioned and I never meet others who have played it been heard of it.
Killcycle is the worst lol
Here are 10 honorable mentions:
Gungage
Heart of Darkness
Invasion From Beyond (or B-Movie if you want to get European about this.)
Mass Destruction
No Fear Downhill Mountain Bike Racing
Speed Punks (or Speed Freaks if you want to get European about this)
T.R.A.G.
Tail Concerto
Vib Ribbon
Wild 9
Where is Sayuki or Vanguard Bandits?
And yet 10 more:
Silent Bomber
Tecmo's Deception
Galerians
Fear Effect
Thousand Arms
Blazing Dragons
Treasures of the Deep
Devil Dice
Elemental Gearbolt
Koudelka
Thumb up because you mentionned Wild 9
@@PrimAlredge I mentioned it because it's vexcellent!
@@Gatorade69 I was going to include Tomba 1 or 2 (both great) but thought they were kind of popular in their day, though now pretty forgotten. HoD is quite good, the first part where you are being attacked by a bunch of shadow monsters is honestly the hardest part imo and makes for a really bad impression.
Surprised. I thought at least Tomba, Brave Fencer Musashi, Granstream Saga, Civilization 2, Einhander.
I just recently discovered, Jackie Chan Stuntmaster.And....wow! That is one heck of a hidden gem!
My hidden gem recommendation would be Tokyo Highway Battle. It's a pretty fun arcade racer with a decent selection of upgradable cars, a banging soundtrack and impressive graphics for the time.
Just gonna leave a mention of Future Cop LAPD here. The wars against Sky Captain were legendary!
Team Buddies was one of my favorite ps1 games growing up. Such great memories.
The Unholy War is one of my favorite games ever. I don't understand why that subgenre is so small. The balance of all the different units and their different abilities is incredible.
Killcycle is broken
@@beelzeboss42 Really? You mean in your hands he's disproportionately powerful? I never got that good with him. I miss a lot with the kamikaze attack and I never seem to do as well as I expect dropping bombs on the Hard ai, unless it's a slow unit.
@@rsavage-r2v A friend of mine used to absolutely destroy me if he was using Killcycle. On the flip side I would tear through his entire team with Prana. If I was using the other side I'd favour Razorfane, but at the time I was pretty okay with most characters to some extent. It was interesting how some were better against certain other characters. Made the game more than just a standard fighting game. I'd love to see it redone, or a sequel with new hardware.
Jersey Devil finally got a mention! Nobody ever remembers this game but I loved it back in the day!
Star Gladiator and Rival Schools United By Fate are my favorites Capcom classics on the PS1
I actually haven't played any of these games... but I see something named "Slap Happy Rhyth, Busters"; and I can't NOT be gripped by an overwhelming desire to play.
A few games I fondly remember but never hear mentioned are Monster Inc. Scream Team, Atlantis: The Lost Empire and WarGames: Defcon 1
Monsters Inc was the first ever ps1 game I ever played, I hold it close to my heart
N2O: Nitrous Oxide: A better tube shooter with psychedelic visuals, various creepy insects as enemies, and a soundtrack by Crystal Method.
Gotta admit I didn't know any of those games and yet watching this list felt strangely familiar. In my almost 40 years of gaming I've never experienced such a generation as the era of the original PlayStation where so many whacky and creative concepts made it into actually functional and playable games. I myself played countless games that most likely nobody heard about and love them so much. As much as I still enjoy playing modern games, that past era is definitely something very special to me.
I’d like to add Silent Bomber to this list, and excellent and underrated game
I loved The Unholy War back in the day and was hooked on it for a looong time. Maybe it's time to dust it off and get hooked again 😊
Awesome video, Team Triple Jump. Here are some of my favorite PS1 hidden gems that aren't in this video: Ghost in the Shell, Gekido: Urban Fighters, Heart of Darkness, 40 Winks, Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman, Galerians, One, Omega Boost, Wild 9, Project Overkill, Machine Hunter, Pinobee, N20 Nitrous Oxide, Swagman, Eternal Eyes, and Starfighter Sanvein. Ok, I need to stop! Haha
I loved heart of darkness
Your videos genuinely make me feel deep levels of nostalgia and happiness! I always look forward to your new uploads. Sincerely thank you very much for your content! ♡
I must say Dr. Tequila is the most epic video game villain name I've ever heard.
This video slapped me I'm the face........
With Nostalgia
Unholy War, was that the one that had the add with a blue'ish creature on it that look like a cross between a Zergling from StarCraft and Violator from Spawn?
I think that's what it looked like anyways, it's been many years since i've actually seen it.
Another really fun game that i don't see mentioned for PS1 is Silent Bomber, the gameplay of dashing around setting or stacking then exploding bombs as fast as your fingers can tap was soo addicting. For me it's one of those games that you just never understand why something else similar hasn't been made again.
I'm glad to see Threads of Fate on here, that was a classic for me
Team Buddies was so good back in the days, you missed Omega Boost too, it was a pure gem
Am I the only person in the world who thought that "Legend of Legaia" was an awesomely innovative take on the prototypical "Save the World" JRPG?
This is the first I've heard of Threads of Fate, and immediately got it on Ebay after hearing your thoughts.
Legend of Legaia never gets any love.
One of my favorite games for the legendary PlayStation is the excellent Port of Doom
PS1? Am old enough to remember when people just called it a PlayStation.
PlayStation is far too ubiquitous as an entity to still be used as its quick name; hell, even Sony remodeled and rebranded it as the psOne after the Advent of the ps2
Trap gunner reminds me of Tecmo's: Deception series. I found Pandemonium quite niche as well. Thankfully I was lucky enough to play incredible crisis back when it came out
I absolutely loved Kurushi! I only had the one level to play because it was on a demo disk compilation that I got free with something. I used to play it over and over again. I was tempted to buy a Playstation mini because it was on there as IQ. I decided just to stick with my Switch and the dozens of games that I haven't got round to playing yet or completed. Seriously, I've had Breath of the wild for about 6 years and I've barely played it because I'm waiting till I've got nothing left in my back catalogue of games to play before I invest every single waking second of my time into it.
80's/90's kid here..... PlayStation 1 remains the golden age of gaming, and the most memorable/enjoyable for me. That hurts to say, considering I've played countless hours on Atari, NES, Sega, and everything since 😂. The PlayStation console just had an unmatched catalog of games, and the immersion was top tier, since online multiplayer had not taken over yet
Yes, got Unholy War recommended last Year, it is a very cool Game, the Archon of the PSX Era.
Sadly it is way too expansive to buy a Copy, so get it everywhere you can.
You're absolutely right. This is why I store the game files on multiple backup drives.
I would say Tomba is a hidden gem as well.
Incredible Crisis! I remember playing this as a kid and completing this within a weekend...it was mental.
Weird game, but had a fabulous time with it. 🎉
I played Intelligent Qube back in the day. It was a fun game. Nowadays it's available on the newer Playstations, & is just as fun.
So happy to see team buddies here. Next to hogs of ear as my fave PS1 game
Jersey Devil isn't a game I've ever finished, even when I had a full copy for a short while as a kid, but it is a game that has always piqued my curiosity. I hope to one day play it through in its entirety. It doesn't stand up even close to something like Spyro, but it has a very neat aesthetic and is a decent game in its own right.
One that everyone overlooks is Moho! At the end of PS1 era and start of PS2 era, but was an absolute hidden gem
Syphon Filter!
I remember spending hours watching my older cousin play through SF 2. Super entertaining game and story to boot!
to me it was Dragon Seeds.
It was a game I once played on my older cousin's PS1. I made a cool pink dragon, my younger cousin whined that she got the crustacean one that looked a bit like a beyblade, lol.
something about it instantly tucked itself into my memory.
Been playing intelligent since launch. It was on the sampler disk that came with my system. I scoured every store and pawnshops for a few years before I found a complete copy. I still play it today.
I have 3 honorable mentions
Grind Session
Einhander
Omega Boost
Yoooo, the unholy war! Recently played it for a video and thought I thought it wasn't fully fleshed out, I really hoped it could get a sequel! Multiplayer must be great on it!
8:46 James: "It's nothing personal"
I never knew Toys for Bob developed The Unholy War, it just says Crystal Dynamics and published by Eidos. Such a great game, mixing strategy with fighting. The fighting even had strategy in the sense each unit was strongest vs a specific unit and weak to another. Also the arenas each had advantages and disadvantages for different units. I would love a remake or a sequel, but doubt that will happen ever. Just glad I have my copy still.
I still hope we get a sequel or prequel (even though prequel wouldn't make much sense) or at least bringing it as hd remaster on all consoles and pc
While I'm writing this has avatar not the same story?
mentioning Incredible Crisis and not mentioning the AMAZING soundtrack by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra? This will not stand, for penance go listen to a couple TSPO albums, they're all fantastic.
The Unholy War is definitely a great game. If you want more in that vein, the Archon games are an early version of it, on all old computer systems and the NES. The second never got an NES port, but the first was remade on the PC in 1994 and well worth checking out. Around the same time was Dark Legions on the PC, developed by Silicon Knights. I loved the whole "chess, but you actually have to fight" angle of those games, and wish they'd do an update to the concept.
*Intelligent Qube* - I remember a demo for I.Q. was a part of the first demo disc I got for the PlayStation. Being terrible at puzzle solving back then, it took a long time for me to actually beat the demo. Cut to 2014 and I finally get the full game. I’ve since beaten it multiple times and consider it a top five puzzle game on the system.
*Threads of Fate* - Damn this one hurts. Okay so, up until maybe 2-3 years ago, I thought I didn’t like any turn-based RPG not named Pokémon or Star Wars: KOTOR. I found a complete copy of Threads of Fate for $5 at a thrift store back in 2012 but couldn’t tell from the box whether the combat was turn-based or action. Ultimately, I decided to leave it there because I didn’t want to take the “risk” but, that very night, I looked up some gameplay, saw it was an action-RPG and realized my mistake. Next time I went to that thrift store, the game was gone. Cut to 2024. I still don’t own a copy and the disc alone goes for $35+ online. Oh and it turns out I do like turn-based RPGs, too, so yeah.
*Incredible Crisis* - Man this game is insane but in the most fun way you can imagine. From going shopping to having an affair to protecting a freaking UFO, it’s truly something else.
*The Unholy War* - This is the only game on the list that I don’t agree with. To be fair, it’s not completely the game’s fault. I knew I would have no interest in the strategy mode of the game and bought it strictly for the fighting game mode. Unfortunately, it falls short in that department, not being bad enough to call it a piece of crap but not good enough to keep coming back to. Oh well. At least there’s the Soul Reaver demo it comes with.
IQ was one of my favorite games growing up, along side Armor Core and Grandia they make me very nostalgic.
Trap runner was absolutely amazing, I remember having the demo and harassing the local video game shop till they got me a copy 👌
"Kagero's Deception" will always be a hidden gem for me simply for the premise of setting traps rather than actively engaging in combat, and a branching storyline that comes from that.
And his name isn't "Mr. Platformer," it's "Platformer-Man."
One game that I would consider to be a PS1 hidden gem is "Galaga: Destination Earth". Featuring not just the classic top down camera angle, but also two additional camera modes. There are unique environments, tactics, bonus stages, power ups and even objectives to complete as you fly through each level. The music is also beautifully crafted as a spacy, techno, and even orchestral pieces that make the campaign worth it. (Even cutscenes featuring our ship)
In my opinion, it is the perfect spin-off of that arcade title.
Cool, thanks for a suggestion!
Play parasite Eve! No one ever talks about it or its sequel! It’s my favorite PS1 rpg! It’s square Enix best work on the system! Nice pull with Threads of Fate! I would also include Tiny Tank :3
seeing those pumpkins as you slide in Jersey Devil unlocked a memory and physically made my brain jump
Jersey devil and Blasto are my top two favorite games on the PS1 that aren't talked about often
This list can be a lot longer or a 2nd or 3rd part. Super love it
IQ was hands down the best puzzler of the PS1 era
How it hasn't been remastered for the PS Store is just wild
Isn't there a weapon in Harmful Park called Jerry? Also,isn't there a boss that is a giant Frankenstein with a dancing cat in his head that attacks you with middle finger lasers in Harmful Park?
Yes,I recently watched the Japanese Shoot-'em-up Jontron video.
I remember Kurushi from Demo 1. But since i was about 4 when the disc came out, i had absolutely no idea how to play it
Although it had control and camera issues; I think Nightmare Creatures is one of PSOne’s most underrated classics!
The atmosphere is just as suspenseful and scary as Resident Evil, the polygonal graphics actually add to the creep factor and the soundtrack is absolutely amazing!
Vigilante 8 and the Star Wars game that ran off the same engine were gems for me
Loaded should’ve been on here, I played it so much as a kid and it never seems to be talked about
Definitely going to try an snag some of these. I only have a few ps1 games. My ps3 luckily plays them and so does my 2, but ps4 and 5 just got legends of dragoon on it. Im reverting back to classics
The game that for some reason I haven't seen on these PS1 hidden gem videos is Tomba 2.
Seriously I spent so much time playing that game while a lot of people were playing FF7.
Unholy War and Team Buddies are very unique and great games. From mixing strategy and action genres to balance and quality. And if in Unholy War you can play against a friend, then in Team Buddies you could arrange a battle for 4 friends at the same time
Loved jersey devil!!!
The guy at 0:23 was bugging the hell out of me, couldn't place him. Then it finally came to me - he briefly plays Frasier's ethical agent/mouseketeer in 'Frasier'.
These videos are like eating a little ice cream cone in the morning.
Video starts at 1:25
One should've been on this list. Game was fantastic and highly underrated
Intelligence Cube!!! Hell yeah Brotha!!!! personal all-timer right there
Awwwww, Intelligent Qube is amazing. Between that, Devil Dice, and No One Can Stop Mr. Domino, I played some *weird* games*... it was pretty great.
You just unlocked a memory with the Nanotek Warrior ad! I remember seeing that lacerated eye in a gaming magazine I bought back then. It's graphic, but honestly that was par for the course in the edgy mid nineties 😂
Dr. Tequila 😂. Wish he worked for the NHS
Threads of fate is the GOAT 3d action jrpg always nice to see it shown some love
Threads Of Fate is fantastic. Square was almost untouchable in the 90s with the quality they put out.
If you played the ps1 demos you would have played most of these games, shocked so many was on the list
This is the first time I’ve heard someone talking about team buddies, it’s awesome they need to remake it, playing as little pill capsules shooting uzis driving tanks and planes while the AI is cussing at eachother blowing up your friends with 4 players laughing your ass off.
Still no love for The Legends of Dragoon in a list about underrated ps1 games
the respect I.Q. gets in the states is abysmal. I'll never forget sitting in front of my tv stressing those puzzles
The developers must've had fun coming up with some of the more bonkers titles to these games
Wild arms was my cult favorite RPG
Thanks for the heads up on unholy wars, looks really sick i been on a ps1 binge with my new emulator playing through legend of dragoon for the first time❤
jersey devil is definitely the worst thing on this list
If Incredible Crisis wasn't on this list I was gonna quit the internet
ps1 had the best library ever, it literally had a game for every genre possible, and even for games that didn't have a genre. Shame that with the ps2 all of this disappeared
I guess....but at least you could still play ps1 games on the ps2.
I loved this gaming generation, the period of Sony elbow barging into the Sega and Nintendo console war
Not sure about ps1 but...I'll give some PS2 ones I always thought were underappreciated or lesser known.
Shadow Hearts.
RAD (Robot Alchemical Drive or some such)
Shinobi PS2.
Of course there are plenty of others but these are 3 I always default to.
I love Incredible Crisis so much, but that boat stage ... it was pain.
The Unholy War rocked
Why no love for Tomba?!?! or was it more popular than i remember it being?
Team Buddies! Oh man that is a memory UNLOCKED. I remember playing this with my mate Russell after school so much
The best thing about harmful park is the multiplayer, the punch ball game is awesome :P
The Unholy War is one of my fave games of all TIME
Unholy War is really cool and fun, been playing it off and on since it came out, and STILL can’t beat the second mission where the damn Prana Devils keep spawning over and over and over.
Try to use the flying bike against those creatures. I destroyed a lot of them with just one bike on the highest difficulty
Of course when it comes to PS1. They’ll always going to be hidden games that came only in Japan or just plain ignored it,and Happy Slap Rhythm Master is one of these hidden gems I’ve ever seen.
I loved The Unholy War, however, I had only a demo and I wasn't able to find the full game anywhere.
So happy to see The Unholy War being recognized. my sis and i used to play that game ALL THE TIME
Team Buddies was a blast... me and my friends played a lot of this back in the day
