Great games in todays video. Love this channel. Can vouch for Racing Lagoon. I’m currently 30 hours into it, and it’s, no joke, the coolest game I’ve played in 10 years. Not only does it hold up, it absolutely drips attitude and Japanese late 90s flavor. Truly a special game. Highly recommended.

Here in Mexico in the 90's, everyone had a PS1 with a modchip, so we can play all kinds of bootleg copies of every game in every region. Pepsiman was a huge hit with my family and friends, maybe sounds funny but is considered a classic over here.

Funny I lived in both countries. I have never seen a ps1, ps2, ps3, Xbox og and 360, and wii without hacks. It's a shame that many of the ps1 CD readers are failing. My first ps1's failed and I could never make it work, then I bought a new one for 600 rupiah which also failed. I will have wait until alternatives like psio become more affordable.

That minecart game reminds me vaguely of an arcade game I played called something something Magical Trolley Adventure, a game where these two anime kids had to outrun a train on a trolley, while simultaneously keeping balance. It was one of those cabinets that went the extra mile by actually having a trolley pump that two players needed to operate in order to play the game, only I don't think it ever properly worked, as me and my then gf would constantly lose. According to her though, after we broke up, they did fix it later, and though the trolley pump would be hard to replicate at home, I'm a bit sad they never released it for home consoles. I mean Taito released Battle Shark as part of their Taito Legends 2 on PS2, and that game's arcade cabinet originally operated with a real periscope.

I watched all of your ps1 videos and you never talked about Brigandine, or its never-released-outside-Japan followup : Brigandine Grand Edition. Even though it has a cult following, both definitely qualify as obscure / hidden gems or simply among the best T-RPGs on the console. There was a new Brigandine released on Switch and PS4 one or two years ago, but it's not as good as the original sadly. I hope you'll mention it in a future video ;)

@@thatvideogamesshow Great! Just one thing to let you know : the original game that was brought to North America was one of those games that read some music as CD tracks. And if you plan to try it on emulator, you might have the same problem as me and have terrible / crackling sound whenever they play, especially when using ePSXe... ...I wish I knew how to fix that (might be a "me" issue but I think I tried all possible configs). Anyways, it runs fine on a few other emulators. Besides, the Grand Edition (which was fully translated in english by fans) doesn't have the issue altogether. The music in it is completely different though, it is orchestral but the previous game's was more synthy. I love both soundtracks tbh. I'm also one of the few who really like the 3D cutscenes when units attack each other - they got rid of them in the Grand Edition but it has anime story cutscenes as well as a real final boss fight, something the devs of the original game probably didn't have the time to implement.

I'm familiar with both Gran Turismo and Ridge Racer Type 4, when I checked Racing Lagoon, I was impressed by its visuals. As far as I can tell, it's probably in the top 5 best looking games on the system, if not the best. The fly-by camera before the racing starts takes a hit in performance, but have you noticed that draw distance? I don't think this game has racing during the daytime, it's a shame. This game has a flaw, the collisions are basically not there, you hit guardrails or other cars, there's a sound and you are penalized by it, but there's no visual effect or physics in it, the Driver games showed how car collisions can be real on driving games, and it really hurts what is otherwise an impressive game. You should also check Touge Max games on PS1, specially Touge Max G, I believe this one was totally inspired by Gran Turismo, it plays and looks really good too.
