      @@Zontar82 For sure, it's a pity that we don't see as many of these quirky experimental titles anymore, some of them were just as good as a lot of the more mainstream games... The PS1 games library is still worth exploring for sure as there will be more games yet to be experienced...!

    I'm just sad that we're probably never getting anything Tobal related anymore. I admit that Tobal 1 was really bad but Tobal 2 was a huge improvement from its predecessor. I'm still playing it every once In a while when I get full of new gen games.

    I'm very well aware of all of these games - other than Pop 'N Tank - but its great to see a thorough history of some of the PS1's BEST games -- not just imported, but best period. -- Although, I would have featured Soukaigi as well, excellent game that, and deserves a spot next to Speed Power Gun Bike and Ghost in the Shell as some of the most innovative 3D action titles that were never done justice. This is a fantastic youtube channeel, that truly does stand out from many of the other hack retro console youtube channels.

    Tobal 2 is a really good fighting game, with advanced grapple mechanics for its time. There is an English patch available. Speed Power Gunbike has really weird controls but once you get the handle of switching between vehicles, it gets very fun, very unique game (highly recommend it for Megaman Legend fans). Adventure of Little Ralph is amazing (play it on normal or you just get 1/2 of it). One import I highly recommend is Gear Senshi Dendoh as well

    Listening to the first game shown here ... reminded me at the original Japanese Rival Schools. It came with 2 discs, disc 1 was the one that contained the Street Fighter like Versus Brawler ... but disc 2 came with a Story Mode. When they released Rival Schools in the West they did sadly not translate the Story disc, which was a blast to play. You would create your own Character, with its own Special Moves and then join one of the School Gangs ... and then there was a story revolving around each gang. You could also use your own character to fight with your friend in the Arcade Disc later too.

    I have a Japanese PS2 so I'd like to pick up copies of some of these, but alas I'm not rich enough, lol. Little Ralph followed by Harmful Park is a serious knockout combo for the wallet! I realise most people will try these via emulation, but I do like owning games I really want to play. I have a few fairly valuable PAL PS1 games which I bought new when first released like Parodius, In The Hunt and Philosoma. Though kicking myself that I bought the PAL Symphony of the Night collectors edition back in the nineties but sold it a few years later when I sold my original PS1 - that's definitely the main one that got away!

    I've been teaching myself Japanese, and using my knowledge of the language I am playing a super charming but practically unknown visual novel/underwater-action game called Happy Salvage. It's a shame so few know of its existence, because the relaxed tone and nature of its story makes for a pleasant and subtly intriguing playing experience, bolstered by a universally likeable and genuinely good-natured cast of characters. At my level though, it's a slow and sometimes arduous process to understand the dialogue. I'd say I'm about halfway through now, but it'll still take me a good long while before I reach the end credits. It's easy to get caught out on Japanese grammar in particular, and without Jisho.org and a Discord channel at my disposal, I would be thoroughly screwed.
    By the way, the PS1 has an insane amount of intriguing and obscure games that never left Japan. This video doesn't being to scratch the service in that regard (not meant as a diss). These are some other PS1 games never released outside of Japan that I would really like to play someday...
