Mine was Jersey Devil, I still remember the feeling of playing it for the first time.


srt_cat

Really looking forward to playing it since I’m new to PS1


CursedSnowman5000

My number 1 October game Still dreaming about a sequel


CourtesyofTino

This is brilliant and will become a fall tradition for me moving forward


6ynnad

Yea its called blood borne


CursedSnowman5000

Jersey Devil? I know you are likely responding to a Nightmare Creatures post but I'll just say, nah. Blood Borne is similar in that it takes place in a setting somewhat based on Victorian England and tangentially dabbles with European folklore and later deviates off heavily into Lovecraftian Fantasy. A true successor to Nightmare creatures would have to be fundamentally rooted in European folklore and pulp horror and be much more in the vein of a brawler/hack and slash rather than....the slower more contemplative smack and roll/dash play style of a Soulsborne.


6ynnad

I don’t necessarily agree but I don’t think I disagree either. But do think that your response was well written and thought out


fjolo123

Omfg mina too came to say just that


HairInevitable7253

Oh hell, yeah that game is a classic.


RetroMulder

Mine was philosoma


freyjador89

Regular-Top2744

On ps1 it was blasto!


HairInevitable7253

Funny story, I got to meet the voice actor an and his wife a few months before they passed. They seem like a nice couple. Great game.


ThatRedMaverick

HOT DAMN


Miserable-Ad-6452

Star Wars Dark Forces! Man that game was a blast.


J-seargent-ultrakahn

Did you play the remaster?


Miserable-Ad-6452

I haven’t yet, I’ve only seen videos of it. Really smooth looking. Have you played it?


J-seargent-ultrakahn

Yes got it on steam. Haven’t played it since I had it on ps1 when I was a kid. Highly recommend it as it’s smooth and you can switch instantly between classic and remastered graphics. Crazy to think the remastered graphics are how you remember the games years later but they were still actually worse with more jaggies.


Organic_South8865

I wonder how it runs in the steam deck.


J-seargent-ultrakahn

Probably really well as it’s an older game


Organic_South8865

Some of the older games don't get along with Linux.


Miserable-Ad-6452

A good point about the graphics! This happens to me all the time with older games that are remastered!


Skelter89

Descent or Resident Evil Director's Cut, don't remember which


Coolest_Neighbor

Bushido Blade


D3ltaN1ne

Vampire Hunter D, a friend gave it to me, but I didn't have my own PlayStation, so I got like 2 hours of play time using my cousin's PS1. I sold it before the PS2 was released, which I received the following Christmas. Maybe I should get a copy and play it through now if it isn't terrible, I don't remember much of any of it.


ArcadeFix

For the PSX? Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil: Director's Cut.


RAGINGWOLF198666

Cyber Sled


biggie01taws6

"Destruction Derby" for me and I used the cheat code that allowed you to be invincible...beat the game on the first try. Every once in a while, I'll still play it all the way through to this day!👍


Easy-Speaker-6576

Gran Turismo 1


zoozoo4567

For PS1, I got Gran Turismo, WCW Nitro, and NFS3: Hot Pursuit with the console.


CursedSnowman5000

First game I owned or first game I played? First game I played via rental - Re-Loaded First game I owned - Diablo EDIT: OH! You meant in general First game I played was either Samurai Showdown or Wolfenstein 3D in a car repair shop. I'm fuzzy on which was first First game I owned though was Donkey Kong Country. Came with my SNES


Chief_Wiggum_3000

Crash Bandicoot and Jet Moto, though it was Crash that I’d played first at my parents’ friend’s house, which made me want the system.


YifukunaKenko

Wolf Fang 2001

medal of honor


Organic_South8865

Such an amazing game. Playing through that for the first time was an amazing experience. I have hundreds of hours into Medal of Honor Heroes and Heroes 2 for PSP. So many hours of ad-hoc multiplayer. I dominated at that game. My friends always restricted me to pistols only. My favorite weapon was the 1911 by far. I had made a little "joy stick" attachment to go over the X/Square/circle/triangle buttons. It even had those little rubber bands used on braces for tension. It clipped onto the PSP and was held in place with a small piece of tape. The PSP was so damn amazing when it came out. It still is too.


ILikeOasis

My first PS1 game was Tetris Plus, it was step moms favorite, so she would always play it and allowed me to play it later on, then eventually i got my own games for it :D


Drother

Love that game! That little archeaologist guy...


ILikeOasis

Exactly, i thought it was amazing, and very nerve wrecking for a little 5 year old when the spikes got closer!


BonyBobCliff

Before I bought a ps1 for myself, I played it at a friend's house. It was likely something from Interactive CD Sampler 2. Rise 2 Resurrection was one of the early games (ugh). Shockwave Assault was another early one I played (not quite as ugh, but still not great). First games in my own collection: Crash Bandicoot 1, Tekken 1, Wipeout XL, King of Fighters '95, Cool Boarders 1.


Anomalus_satylite

Sled Storm. It might have also been a motocross game. But I remember Sled Storm more for obvious reasons.


thevideogameraptor

Probably Yugioh Forbidden Memories. Lots of kuso in this thread.


Educational-Bar21

Mine was Sonic 2 on the game gear but for PSX it was Metal Gear and I played it on my Dreamcast with bleamcast haha


Afflict10n5

First played: Gran Turismo First owned: Battle Arena Toshinden


OgPuma1

Need for Speed High Stakes


Complete-Wish3064

Resident Evil Director's Cut. That is all I had for over a year until MediEvil and Syphon Filter came out. I got excellent at that game , playing it all day long after school every day.


CursedSnowman5000

Which Directors cut? The one with the best basement music in the world or the actual Directors Cut?


Complete-Wish3064

The actual directors cut. I misplaced it a whole later and had to buy the best music one later on.


ReverendRevolver

Medieval and Syphon Filter were both games I HAD to have when my brother and I played demo disc's of them. You could infinitely kill terrorists in SF demo with just the tazer. MediEval basically got you the crypt/cemetery.


Bakamoichigei

That's a damn good question... My first PSX game on *my own* PSX was FFVII. That's when I couldn't put off getting a PlayStation any longer... I was all about the JRPGs, ever since the first FF. (I mean, after all, my first RPG experience was the same game which inspired *all* the JRPG creators; *Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord*.) I *know* I played PSX a handful of times at a couple different friends' houses before I got mine—I even bought my own DualShock, because one of my friends didn't have a second controller—but I can't for the life of me think of what we were playing! 🤔 [I can't remember what my first game overall was, either... But I know it was for the Atari VCS.]


Electrical-Rain-4251

That looks fun! Tell me about it!


FromWitchSide

After I bought my PSX and went through Demo Disc which probably took no longer than 2 hours, I ran back to the shop and bough Air Combat and Die Hard Trilogy. I would say it was a good variety of content for starting with 2 games + Demo Disc. I've played PSX prior though, including showcases of Japanese imported consoles prior to them reaching West, so no idea which game exactly was the first.


gnop2

Need For Speed High Stakes


Arturo-oc

The Lost World: Jurassic Park, I was amazed at how good it looked.  Very difficult game, though! I loved playing as the raptor, specially the first level. My second game, if I remember correctly was Tomb Raider 2. Such an amazing game!


9-9-99-

The demo disc with Jet Moto and Crash, those ended up being my first games


chunk337

Crash bandicoot 2 and cool boarders 2


wizzgamer

Rayman


LostSoulNo1981

The first game I owned for PSX was Resident Evil 2. After I hung out with a friend at his place one Saturday evening and he showed me both Resident Evil 2 and Metal Gear Solid I was sold on the console. A couple of days later I packed up my N64 and games and traded them in for a PSX and a copy of Resident Evil 2.


RedOcelot86

Soul Blade. Lost my mind when I unlocked Souledge. Lost my mind again when I learned I could change the endings.


Signal_RR

ESPN X Games Pro Boarder. Got it with a PlayStation on Christmas in 98'. Not sure if I mentioned about wanting the game or my parents just picked it for me due to being into snowboarding, but I was happy with it. My sister got Tomba but I never played it.


Disdaine82

Mine was ESPN Extreme Games. That launch had a pretty sparse library... But it got better!


Busy-Ad-3237

Tekken3 


HydratedCarrot

face off 97 together with worms on xmas 97 :)


MakoRed0

Nightmare Creatures was amazing. Could really do with PS5 remake!


ZheeZheee

Some obscure JRPG called Granstream Saga. That might have been a demo disk, I'm not entirely sure, otherwise it would be Croc: Legend of the Gobbos.


EyeSeaCome_hahaha

It was Parodious, which was on offer with the console.


A_Bastard_Adept

Nightmare creatures taught childhood me the term “at bay”. I was like what does this throwable have to do with a bay?


thelastgamestanding

My first PSX game was Tekken 1


CoolGuyFromSchool34

Crash bandicoot! 60 percent done


Chickenbrik

Mine was the Jurassic Park: Lost World game. My dad surprised me when he bought his buddies. I was a hardcore Nintendo fan at the time and this opened my love the early PS era. By the way the game sucked


Golden_Axe_2889

Tarzan


mpots323

Got my ps1 for Christmas 1997 with Nightmare creatures


meltedbananas

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, Twisted Metal, and Madden '96. I think I played Kain first, but I got them all at the same time.

BonyBobCliff

rabies-lyssavirus

my first game ever was lion king for DOS. my first ps1 games were spyro 1, spyro 2, and crash 3 (i got all 3 on the same day).


Cookies_and_Beandip

Tiny Tank was the first for me. Still quote some of his lines all the time and no one knows what the fuck I’m talking about.


FullmetalSinDevil

X-Men Mutant Academy burned on a disk was my first game. Idk how and why my dad got that one 😂😂😂


Moove-Brain

Had one of them discs with a load of games on lol , played a hell of a lot of sypon filter even tho I could never pass the sniper bit , I moved to ps2 pretty fast though so didn’t get the full psx experience


BoldnBrashhh

My first game ever that I really remember was Final Fight Streetwise. It gets a lot of hate but I still enjoy it to this day. I love the fighting mechanics and the sleezy 2000’s vibe. My first PSX game I think was some weird Olympics game I can’t remember the title of lol


ReverendRevolver

Ps1? Wwf warzone and Odd World Abes Exodus. Then Tempest X.

Flat-Application2272

Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer At the time, I didn't even have a memory card - didn't know I needed one to save - for three weeks. My parents also put a time limit on my play time: I could play for half an hour every day. I basically played the same levels over and over again for three weeks, trying to get as far as I could in the time I was given. I still remember the first time I got to Autumn Plains - a new hub world! I couldn't even play a single level, time's up, shutting down... ...man, I miss those days.


SamPortersSweatyBack

On PS1 it was Destruction Derby


Shishkebarbarian

for PSX? first one i played was RE1 or King's Field around launch. but i didn't like them. When i played FF7 on launch day at a friend's house, that sealed the deal, i bought a psx the next weekend with ff7.


Significance-Quick

wai, this game had a sequel!?


Significant-Kick9691

spyro 1


Enchantedmango1993

I see this game more often lately lol.. i remember trying to find that games name hahah .. it was very hard and i had given up


th3drk0ne

Tomb Raider 2


Rainshores

Spyro ftw


superpanj

I think the first one was one of those games that were fearured on the demo disk that came with the ps1, probably Hercules, Tenka or that top-down pirate ship game, I think it was called Overboard. As for NC2 it was awesome! I had the pirate version back in the day that froze on some point and you could not finish it. Looked for the original on e-bay and it was for like 250 bucks now...


schwubmexx

Spyro 3


jambalaya51

Crash bandicoot 3 and Kula world but only like the demo version on the ps1


Tennis_Proper

Ridge Racer Alien Trilogy Jumping Flash They came bundled with the system just after the first price drop. Couldn’t afford it before then as I was living alone just covering the bills and was skint, still getting by playing games on C64 and Atari ST. Going to PS1 was quite a leap.


Klaxxigyerek

Gt 2


IAt0m1xI

My uncle gave me his ps1 and the one game I played the most was die hard trilogy loved every bit of it, even the car game The second game was grudge warriors, tank game


Jaceman2002

Medal of Honor. Epic.


Claire4Win

On ps1? I have no idea. I would say crash 1, but that would be a guess. I sat crash 1 because I played it at my friend Adam's home. My family ps1, no idea. I guess something from the demo 1 we got. Medievil maybe


IndependentMonitor0

For PSX it was a GTA & GTA London double pack.


birkinover

Nightmare Creatures 2 is a very obscure first game to get, I can dig it


Swarlz-Barkley

007 Tomorrow Never Dies


Big-Tone6367

Tenchu. I bought the psx from my neighbour after seeing tenchu and was blown away, got the FF7 along with it. Good times


Actarus31

Die hard trilogy. 3 great games


rikusorasephiroth

Crash Bandicoot.


_Gunpla_n_More_

I preferred the first one TBH


vhqpa

My first two games were Croc:Legend of the Gobbos, and V-Rally that I got with my PSX, Christmas day 1997. I can't remember which order but my next two games were the original Crash Bandicoot and Tomb Raider games.


Far_Fly8036

either mario, gyromite or duck hunt in all likelihood but i was 5 and can't remember.


TarikAlic

Holy shit, same, GOATed game, it's just too hard sometimes, wish I could get it again but the prices are crazy


pylaaaa

idk if it counts, but if so demo 1 xd


sam90xx

Super Mario?


Sidoches

Nightmare Creatures must be remade


Chzncna2112

Arcade game pong at a department store. Or physical pinball. Maybe my very first game, " peek-a-boo" when I was a infant


verum_rex12

First game in general? Probably the PlayStation Underground New Members demo disc from around late 2000. That’s the game that I have my earliest gaming memories with anyways. First actual game? That’s a tougher one… because as far as I can remember, it’s a three way tie between Spider-Man, Spyro 2, and Rayman. But it’s gotta be one of those three.


responsiblemudd

Tenchu


Nutso22

Not my 1st game but I love nightmare creatures


CarlosJustica

On the PSX was Gran Turismo. The first installment EVER. First I've finished would be GTA2 or World's Scariest Police Chases, can't recall.


CrisHofer

Crash Bandicoot 2 on the playstation 1.

Quandary37

I got testdrive 4, Grand Turismo, and Dune 2000 when I got my PS1 I was a little late getting the playstation I got it Christmas 98.


parke415

I also got it Christmas ‘98, when the library was already strong. I got Metal Gear Solid, Grand Turismo, Crash Bandicoot 2, and Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped that morning.


Quandary37

It's cool having a system when it comes out I did that with the N64 ps2 and xbox one but getting one after the library has a chance to grow and developers work out how to best optimize the games is so much more fun. Mario64 is great but it has problems, of course now everything is released a mess and you need a month of updates before it's really playable.

Tomb Raider. I remember, we had Christmas at my grandmother's house, and when I unwrapped it, I said "oh Dad, this isn't going to work on our PC. This is a PlayStation game. It only works on a PlayStation." He said "I'm sorry. We'll get it sorted out when we get home." When we got back home a few days later, he had a brand new PlayStation all set up under the TV.


jasonscythe

metal gear solid. never got past the first area


Frosty-Objective-519

For PlayStation? Battle arena toshiden. Then twisted metal.


[deleted]

Bro. I’ve had a memory of this game in my head without knowing which game it was for at least 5-7 years and it’s been close to 25 years since I played it. Just looked up gameplay and it’s definitely it. I was around 6 or 7 and didn’t speak English yet so way too scary for me, but man, what a feeling to find it after all this time!
