Since many people will already call out the big ones like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, I'll go for a couple minor titles for PS1: Darkstalkers3 and JoJo's Bizzarr Adventure (it has an amazing story mode). I love both franchise and I hope Darkstalkers will be taken into the spotlight someday.
The very first that really impressed me in more than just fun and good gameplay was Another World. It really fashinated me even without having dialogues, but just with its aesthetic and world building.
Rewatching my favourite film—LadyHawke—with my fianceé tonight, with some home made popcorn and the cats purring on our laps. An happy moment in such grim times.
Legend of Dragoon, because it's so under rated and forgotten even if it has a good story and was trying to give the turn combat system a twist. It may truely be re-done with a better graphic and a combat more similar to Expedition33, that blend turn and timed actions.
Bubble Bobble from Taito. I spent so much time playing it both alone and coop with my family. Such sweet childhood memories...
November 1st is the anniversay of Symphony of the Night release in EU: what best moment to replay it?
I'll say "The Legend of Dragoon", for the PS1. It was really underrated during its time even if it has a good story and a turn-based combat with a twist to make it feel more dynamic. A remake with a good graphic and a combat system similar to FF7R would make it top notch, imho.
That's actually a recyled asset from FFXIV: it's a furniture you can put in your house to play in-game music with.
Today some of the stormclouds that have been on me for years now are clearing a bit, giving me hope. It may hurt but it's worth trying anyway. Feels good. Vogue's cover from 1945
While I'm a big fan of Marvel VS Capcom, my fav on PS1 was Darkstalkers 3.
While I would love decent portings for many games that should remain 2D because of their own nature (like Castlevania Symphony of the Night, just to name one), there are many that become amazing with also a gameplay update. Just the first 4 that come to my mind:
So many games I would love to play again as it was the first time, really too many to name them all. I'll pick a not-so-mainstream title, just because many have already been called out: Wild Arms, from the PS1. Both the story, the characters and that soundtrack made some really good memories for me.
It's very similar to Sant'Egidio, a little medieval town near the city of Perugia (Umbria, Italy). I cannot find a better photo with the same prospective as yours.
On the left you could put party members' potraits, with their health and mana bars and also buff's list; underneath the interfance with the turn's order, abilities' list, tooltips and the like. It's a pretty standard setup, but I was primarly thinking about the old Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 interface.
It reminds me of Alone in the Dark (the very first one, from 1992 I think).
I was already a teenager when the PS1 was released and it was my last console (after I switched 100% to PC). There were so much titles that I played for hundreds of hours, but probably the 4 that I remember more fondly (and still replay to this day sometimes) are...
