How is your PSOne/PS1 gaming going?

Vagrant Story. Amazing

My favorite PS1 JRPG! You're in for a fantastic time. Disregard the wtf-outta-nowhere block puzzles that show up in the late game. They don't last long and things pick back up with gusto right after. Glad you're playing this underrated masterpiece.

I've been on a PS1 kick myself lately. Most recently I finished (and reviewed) MechWarrior 2 for PS1. I put some time into Krazy Ivan, Iron Soldier 3, and Space Griffon VF-9. All three are mech games... but not of highly quality. Pretty much junk that aged horribly. Iron Soldier 3 at least lets you walk around as a huge robot with a chainsaw the size of a skyscraper. Space Griffon has a huge amount of quality voice acting, but its actual game design was just trash.

Right now I'm playing through King's Field III and having a wonderful time. Planning on hitting up Grandia after that. I might even get in some Omega Boost and Colony Wars along the way.

I got mad love for the PS1 homies.

For .50 cents each I got these games for the ps1 there not amazing but whatever. Tony hawk 1, dukes of hazard, asteroids (which I want to get all the arcade reboots like galaga, missle command etc) and mk3 disc only for mk3 but every thing else was complete.
The cool thing is that the ps version is so much better than the snes version I was playing and some of us were talking about the mk series on the snes thread.

Was going to get some rare expensive Saturn titles but I own every game that they have on sale for about 100.00 a piece and for me Id prefer to buy mega man x4 for 15.00 on the ps1 than the Saturn version for a 100.00.

I know a lot of people around here don't like emulation, but I want to show you folks something I like about ePSXe (common PS1 emulator).

This is what a coin in King's Field III looks like using normal PS1 resolution with no enhancement:



This is the same coin using texture sharpening and resolution upscaling:



You can clearly see much more detail on the coin using emulation enhancements. It is not uncommon for me to see all sorts of new detail in textures using ePSXe, that I never noticed before on the real hardware.

Just something to think about.

So I was looking at my disappointing PS1 collection and decided to order Disruptor and Sled Storm. Does anyone have any experience playing either of these games? They looked really fun and were cheap so it isn't too much of a loss if I don't enjoy them.

Sled storm is a fun racer

Been putting some time on MK Trilogy, MSH and Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting via SF Collection 2. It's my favorite version to play SF2 games.
