Good Play Station games?

Get a PS2, and play both good Playstation games and PS2 games.

I can heavily recommend the original Spyro trilogy and most of the original Crash games, but all the rest I can think of are PS2.

I mean, you could get the original Tomb Raider series, but you could get those for much cheaper on the Steam store during a sale.

The original?

Darkstalkers 3 (fighting)
Fear Effect 1 / 2 (action)
Fighting Force (beat em up)
Klonoa (platformer)
Legend of Legaia (rpg)
Rival Schools (fighting)
Wild Arms (rpg)

Legend of Dragoon.
Vagrant Story.

I believe both can be played on ps vita or psp.

I forgot Digimon World 1. It is the best game ever if you're into digimon.

i really liked Adventures of Hercules couldnt beat it until i was 15 still such a fun game

• Tekken 3
• Hogs Of War
• Resident Evil
• Suikoden 2

Grandia (RPG)
Tekken 3 (fighting game)
Gran Turismo (racing game)
Rayman (platformer)

Edit: Oh and this one I haven't personally played but if it's anything like the GBA game, it's worth it, Final Fantasy Tactics (tactical RPG)

Even the lowest end PCs these days would be able to emulate PS games pretty well. Hell, I remember playing stuff like Tekken and FFVII almost 10 years ago on emulators, and they ran smoothly. Also bypassed stupid issues with regions and stuff (not that that is difficult on the PS).
Of course, free is free :D

Crash Team Racing
Gran Turismo 2 (racing)
Ace Combat 2/3 (combat flight "sim")
Alundra 2 (action RPG)
Medal of Honor 1/2 (FPS)
MediEvil 1/2 (action adventure)
Colin McRae Rally 1/2.0
Warhammer: Dark Omen (RTS)
Driver 2
Ape Escape

Front Mission 3 - TBS + RPG
Rollcage Stage II - Racing

halo

definitely Tombi, Medievil, Klonoa, Tekken 3, all the crash bandicoot ones and Spyro.

Which PS though?

Syphon Filter it's a third person shooter

Medievil I and II.

You should try Megaman Legends too. 3rd person shooter RPG.

Vagrant Story is a good dungeon crawler.

Brave Fencer Musashi A third person hack n slash real time rpg thing. Really good.

The original GTA games are good for giggles. The PaRappa / UmJammer Lammy games are also really good, but PaRappa is getting up there in price.

• Tomb Raider (Adventure / Platformer)
• Crash Team Racing
• Resident Evil (Survival Horror)
• Twisted Metal (Racing?)
• Chrono Cross (Sequel to Chrono Trigger)
• FF7 (RPG)
• Ehrgeiz (google it, you're welcome)

Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko and Jersey Devil are interesting platformers

Many people have already mentioned quite a few so I'll just throw a couple in here:

• Gran Turismo 3
• Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
• Marvel Superheroes vs. Street Fighter
• Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes
• Ehrgeiz (I'm with JooJooFace on this one. Get this game.)
• Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus, though they are available on steam as well.

Add some Dino Crisis too.

• Digimon World (original)
• Resident Evil 3,
• Digimon Battle Arena
