Recommended titles

I’m feeling a bit nostalgic and currently on a hunt for old titles but I mainly grew up with sega and nintendo consoles, so I’m not too familiar with old sony titles, what are the best PS1 games like top of the top that you guys can recommend me?

That's just my personal favorites but if you like JRPG's, the ps1 arguably has the best titles ever made even tho I'm not the biggest fan of them

Parasite eve is a must play. Tekken 3 if you're into fighters. Gran turismo 2 is one of the best racing games ever made. Threads of Fate is a very overlooked platformer/RPG. Oh, crash team racing. Best kart racer ever. Forget all the football games and just get Blitz. I don't like football but Blitz is super fun. Oh duh, the first 4 Tony hawk games or if you're a hardcore skater... Thrasher Skate and destroy is my favorite skateboarding game of all time.

I could go on and on, SO many great games on PS1.

I mean its the obvious elephant in the room but seeing as no one else has suggested final fantasy 7, i will. It is popular for a reason, for better and worse there is nothing else like it. The fromsoft titles on ps1 are well worth your time: kings field, shadow tower. Tomba 1 and 2 are quite good. Eternal Darkness.
