My Top 36 Playstation (PS1) Games That Are Still Fun Playing All These Years Later — High Five For…
As I mentioned in my other top/fave retro video games lists, 2020 was the year I got back into playing retro video games from my youth. This was heavily influenced by me ordering a Sega Mini to hook up to the tv I won at a Super Bowl party right before the world went on a never-ending lockdown quarantine, but the thing that really kicked the new hobby up a notch was realizing that that Sega Mini could be hacked to add any old retro video game from any old retro video game console. And once one goes down that online retro video gaming rabbit hole, one eventually realizes that one could have been playing any old retro video game right on one’s old iMac the whole time. I guess that’s why they say hindsight is 2020.
More recently, I’ve been noticing that my most visited website pages, month after month, were my blog posts about retro video gaming (even though I am very clearly a ‘not a music blog, not not a music blog’), and most of those visits were coming from Google’rs. So, since I also did a lot of searching for “best ps1 games” or “most underrated ps1 games” or “ps1 games that are still worth playing today” or “hidden gem ps1 games” once I was done googling the same “how to hack a sega mini” queries that have been directing people to my blahg quite consistently, I figured I should put together some console specific lists too… because SEO, innit?
Please keep in mind that this list is not really in a ranked order and it is definitely not an attempt at creating a “best PS1 games ever” list (so prepare to adjust your “how could you not include ___?!” outrage appropriately). This is just a list of games that I still find personally enjoyable playing as an elder millennial in the 2020s & the ones that I find myself reaching for most often + it should be noted that I don’t really care much for fighting games or button-mashing beat ‘em ups or too-much-on-the-screen-at-one-time shooters or turn based strategy RPG games (no matter how ‘critically acclaimed’ they are on the Youtubes & Reddits).
