Reposted on: 16.7.10 2317.44 | I really liked Armored Core: Master of Arena and WWF Attitude for PS1, although I must say that the WWF Warzone sequel gets my nod. It's CAW mode, for the time, was AWESOME. Plus, one could have ultimate gorefests in that game! And, most of all, the entrance music offered in the CAW mode was a nice mishmash of '98-'99 WWF, and had original music that was actually, you know, COOL. And each entrance theme was actually more than just a phrase. (Plus the fact that I owned EVERYBODY on that game because I played it eight days a week!)
Oh, and how could I forget? N2O and Wipeout XL are examples of PS1 GREATNESS. | 12characters

Reposted on: 17.7.10 0857.58 | I'd go something like this:
1. Monster Rancher 2 (amazingly deep when you get into it; I don't want to know how many hours I spent with this)
2. Tobal 2 (best... PS1 fighter... ever.)
3. Final Fantasy Tactics (repetitive, but still extremely addictive)
4. Intelligent Qube (pure puzzle goodness)
5. Star Ocean: The Second Story (my top RPG)
Honorable Mentions:
* Monster Rancher
* Tokimeki Memorial Taisen Tokkae-Dama
(think Tetris Attack meets Puzzle Fighter)
* Poy Poy
(absolutely awesome party game, and not bad in single-player either)
* Persona 2 (another stellar RPG)
* Jumping Flash! 1 & 2 (nothing else quite like them)
* Motor Toon Grand Prix (US version, actually MTGP2)
(One of the games that made me buy a PSX long ago)
* Tecmo's Deception 2 and 3 (repetitive, but their sheer nastiness gets them on the list)

Reposted on: 17.7.10 1842.16 | WWF Attitude? UNDERRATED??? Man that game looked dated when it came out for the PS1 in August '99.
1. Taka was working in ECW at the time (jobbing to Super Crazzy)
2. Kurrgan who was released along with George "The Animal" Giant Silva, Golga ya know his buddies. I mean Kurrgan and Taka and Marc Mero and least not to forget Sable who were in the game but got fired from the fed months before it came oout.
3. No WM 15 (Latest one at the time) Banner for that Lame-0 Create-a-Stadium thing.
See what I mean? This game is Daaaated. It looked like it should've came out 4 months after Warzone | 12characters

Reposted on: 18.7.10 0358.20 | That's because they always make the wrestlers first when making the game. Plus if they made a WrestleMania 15 banner the game would look really dated.

... Absolutely agree on both counts. That's a game I could pull off my game shelf TODAY, and get into it all over again. Once I found out how to raise monsters the correct way, I was able to get max (A or S) rating from even the generic store monsters. Hard damn work and lots of $$$$, though.
And my best friend played FF Tactics FOREVER. We're talking 85-95 hours at the very least, and never conquered it.
My List
1 ... NHL '98 ... Still the best hockey video game I've ever played on a console. I STILL play this game.
2 ... Monster Rancher 2
3 ... Harvest Moon -- Back to Nature
4 ... Vanguard Bandits
5 ... Final Fantasy 7 | Elbarto997

I can't imagine how many hours I spent on that game. And I still never got that damn butterfly monster! Crap! Now I am going to have to bust it out again, aren't I? | vsp

And once you find out how to raise monsters the REALLY correct way, you can get 5000-point hall-of-famers from first-generation monsters from discs. 
Ever light-drilled a Hare for _400_ consecutive weeks, never resting, never getting a "___ is tired" message, and never losing a single week of its potential lifespan? It's possible, if you know how... along with somewhat more productive uber-methods for raising critters. If needed, I can point you to another message board where I go into the above in excruciating detail.
And my best friend played FF Tactics FOREVER. We're talking 85-95 hours at the very least, and never conquered it.
By that time, he should have had characters that could tear the crap out of anything. (That's if he did what I did, of course, which was to keep the same "starting set" of characters and build them up constantly at the expense of NPC newcomers. By the time Orlandu arrived, the _only_ thing I needed him for was to take Excalibur from him.)
The one flaw with the game is that if you build a Calculator or two properly, the game becomes completely trivial to conquer. Equip your characters with Chameleon Robes or Excalibur, have your Calculator cast Holy, and find the combination that'll nuke the whole room (with your equipment protecting your own team). Zero SP cost. Repeat!

Yeah but what happens when the next WrestleMania rolls (rolled) out? Then the game looks dated with a WrestleMania 15 banner doesn't it? They actually thought ahead and went out of their way to make it LESS dated by doing what they did. | EddieBurkett

By that time, he should have had characters that could tear the crap out of anything.
A while back, my roommate was trying to get a group of four or five mimes. He was close (he had at least one, and the rest were only off by one or two classes), and he had spent just about 99 hours playing to get to that point. He was showing his game to some friends of mine who were visiting. I had been showing them my game, and when he went to load his game, he accidentally pressed the 'save game' option before selecting his game slot to *load* from. He was one of those guys who just smiled and said its okay, but I don't think he was happy with what he did. I also don't think he'll ever rely on saving to just one slot ever again.
As for Attitude, it was fun for what it was, since it was the last PS game to allow you to customize your Royal Rumbles, including not just who to enter, but what order everyone would enter in. The best part was that it was real easy to forget what you had scheduled to happen, so even though you planned it out, the end would be still be a surprise (and hopefully well booked).
Where's the love for Capcom? They might have beat the 2-D fighter motif into the ground, but I still play Marvel Superheroes on a regular basis, and my freshman year would not have been the same without Puzzle Fighter. |
