Glad to see Wild 9 getting some of the recognition it deserves. Miserably underrated game.

Crazy, I own about 8 of the games that were mentioned in this video. I love hidden gems on consoles🙂

While I've heard of a few of these games, and there were certainly a few that I already wanted to buy, like Rising Zan, Alundra, and Disaster Report... I'm surprised that I only owned one of these already. But boy am I glad that I do own Soul of the Samurai. I absolutely love that game

Soul of the samurai/Ronin Blade Is the pure definition of hidden gem on PS1. It Is bushido Blade meets Resident evil. AMAZING game!

Yea, I loved Xena (Lucy Lawless) too. I even bought the Maxim (magazine) issue with her on the cover. Let's just say my fiancee at the time was not amused.

Gotta say, thanks for all these videos man! You find the silver lining in a lot of old games that seem to just get overlooked. I'm sure a lot of ppl found some titles they never would have given a shot because of you!

Alundra is the only PS1 game I own physical now a days. It's an integral piece of my gaming years growing up and I never thought of it as a hidden gem. I suposse it is! Great list, I love de PS1.

I tried Zan because of an older video you made, and I absolutely loved it! This is my new favorite channel

Another awesome list of under appreciated PS1 games! Well done. I especially like the shout out to Xevious 3D and Xena Warrior Princess.

Cyberbots is an amazing fighting game. Didn't know about it until I looked up my favorite MvC character, Jin.

N-Gen Racing is so good the music is also top tier

Zan is basically my DMC when i still don't have a PS2 Legend of Legaia and Poy Poy is alao a hidden gem of the PS1

Finally caught up on this episode! Some great highlights here! I never heard of Rising Zan, but I need to play that now! Wild 9 is such an underrated gem, so I’m glad you mentioned it 👍. Ngen Racing looks pretty sweet, so that’s another on my radar to pick up. Another excellent episode man!

ahhh that intro music is just what I needed today. thanks dude

Always a joy to discover new obscure stuff with you ^_^

Great selection of games, i had Alundra & soul of the samurai/ronin blade which were epic games & played demos of wild 9 & incredible crisis, a lot of fun. Haven't played the other games on this list so will have to check them out for sure, they look cool & a lot of fun. Great video, look forward to seeing more hidden gems.

I loved NGen racing as a kid, I still have all the soundtracks on my playlist to this day! Some real bangers.

Rising zan looks very interesting for a ps1 game

YES!!!! Finally someone else gives Soul Of The Samurai the credit and mention it has long deserved. I played that game endlessly when I had a PS1 and PS2.

Incredible Crisis! My parents bought me the game randomly when I was 12 and I was like WTF for the first few levels. I got stuck for a long time during the heist, then once I passed it, I could finish it.

I never heard anyone else bring up Rizing Zan. Such a cool game.

I not picking on Wild 9, but I swear I remember the game more for all the adverts in the video game magazines back in the day, then me actually playing it. I forgot I played this game until I watched your list. Great stuff as always.

I remember playing incredible crisis when I was 6 years old. I cried because it was so difficult 😭

great list as always

Awesome vid!

I love the star force music in the bg. Nice touch!

Really happy to see Increnible Crisis on this list. Got it in a huge gamebundle when i started collecting games and man, I really love it. One of my favorite games for the psx :D

Alundra is awesome. Some of those puzzles can be pretty damn hard though, like this one sliding ice block puzzle later in the game.

This is a pretty good list (maybe except Xena :P) I really liked Kartia and it's nice to see Incredible Crisis get some love.

I was an Earthworm Jim fan back in the 90's so wild 9 and MDK were 2 of my fave PS1 games. Shiny were my fave developers before interplay ruined them.

I love these videos!!! You do it better than anyone bro

Great list!

I really enjoyed Alundra, and I often recommend another action RPG on PS1 - Monkey Hero.

I've probably beaten Xena on the PS1 three to four times back then, it's rare someone mentioning this game. Soul of the Samurai, I never played but remember quite well a friend of mine playing it, but I did play Tenchu 2 quite a lot.

Love you videos always find a new gem

Thank you for posting this video love PS1 games i played soul of samurai its a shame none of these games are on PSN store.

Love the choice of intro music 👍

I love your hidden gems videos!

Hey man I'm so happy you can still make content on my favorite console ever❤️

That mechanic in 'Xena Warrior Princess' where she uses her tiara as a range weapon and the camera follows it in first person view would've blown my mind if I'd seen it back when it was released.

Seeing Wild 9 and Incredible Crisis in one video, two of my most favorite games for the PS, was a real treat. If Skullmonkeys had been in the mix you'd have hit upon my exact tastes. haha

Oh man! I played the crap out of the Xena demo! Thank you for the reminder!

Until recently, I'd have said SaGa Frontier was an amazing PS1 gem form peak Square that gets little to no recognition. That's still pretty much the case, but the game got a remaster last year, _including_ content from the cutting room floor that I've read about foe decades. Super interesting Square RPG with multiple intersecting storylines played from multiple unique protagonists. The combo system was maddeningly deep, too. Highly recommend, even on the new consoles!

Great selection! I just started playing Alundra for the first time... there was a video of it on an old demo disc and I always wanted to play it!

this was a particuarly good video

9:11 the music of Lunar Legend. A masterpiece...

Rising Zan needs a modern remake

some really good picks

Samurai Zan is like an unofficial prequel to God Hand. I can't recommend enough both of these gems.

Great video! Does anyone know the track list for this video? That song around 15:20 was really cool

As a big Zelda 3/4 fan, I really liked Alundra and the sequel was OK albeit in a different style.

0:30 Seeing Ridings Zan spin his wrist and sword and float in the air reminds me of Yoshimitsu from Tekken, interesting heh.

Thank you got leaving the game name on screen while showing the gameplay!

Alundra, what an amazing game! I even use village of inoa theme on My phone hehe

Keep it up with interesting ps1 titles. Edit: That was Alundra that I missed going for a wee. That game is cool as hell.

One of the best gaming channels in youtube

Whenever I hear that opening tune, I can't help but think about simpler times.

I love this intro song 😂 everytime I do a lil dance

That music in the background of the Xevious clip, is that from the game? Sounds incredible.

I'm happy to see alundra on this list not many people remember this game

I would be very happy if I knew there is a game like Rising Zan back then... And wild 9, I randomly buy it (along with Klonoa) during clearance back in 2000 , and both are gladly an awesome game

I actually remember Wild 9 from the demo disc that came with my PS1, and Rising Zan from a magazine walkthrough. Even though I'll always be a Saturn apologist, I can't deny the PS1 changed the landscape forever.

Not played wild 9 since the 90s and totally forgot it existed cheers

Tiny Tank was much fun on the ps1!

It's great that Alundra still gets some attention. Personally, I think that even the sequel is a hidden gem. I, at least, had a lot of fun playing it.

There's a fine line between hidden gem and shovelware my friend.

Nice. Soul of the Samurai kinda looks like a ps1 version of Way of the Samurai for the ps2

Great list, a couple I knew well, 2 that I've never tried yet. Good stuff. One day I'll see The Unholy War on here lol

What’s the song that plays during xevious 3d? I’ve heard it in other videos of yours and it’s really catchy!

Keep up the good work please post more videos about PS1 PS2 PS3 games please don't forget about forgotten PC games like commandos 2, no one lives forever, blitzkrieg.

i've played all but one of these, i used to have a blast on xena, i thought the chrakrum throwing was a cool feature.

Alundra was a pretty interesting game tbh, preferred the gameplay of two though (despite never finishing either).

Surprised again and that Incredible Crisis game lol have to try it.

The banner returns

Great, I didn't knew about half of these games

Okay, I have to say it. Your voice is so goddamn soothing, I love it.

What is the music that plays during the explanation of cyberbots?

@12:20 - Is that music Anamanaguchi or am I full of it? Genuinely curious if I'm mistaken and if so, what track is it?

What song fif they use at the end of the outro of the video, I like that song ^^

Wow, never heard of these games before. Definitely will download it and add to my collection of PS1 GEMS^^ By the way..Hoshigami Ruining Blue Earth also should be on this list.. just saying ^^

What are you using to capture? the image is very sharp

Alundra's pretty fun, though I haven't finished it.

Soul of the Samurai is my favourite

I actually ordered N-Gen on Amazon two weeks ago. Still hasn’t arrived, and WipEout 3 which I ordered with it, will take even longer!!! Though yeah there are people on Amazon selling N-Gen if you can’t find it

Impressive!

Rising Zan is basically Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, and No More Heroes before any of these games have existed! It's a true historical piece!

I loved Soul of the Samurai.

Tomba better be on this xD

As crazy as prices are getting for old games I'm just actually glad to see people interested in these games.

I have watched so many of these videos now and I agree with about 90% of your must haves/hidden gems. Curious what your top 10 across all platforms would be though.

I've scrolled through your videos of ps1 games in the hope of finding a game that seems to have disappeared. I rented it the same day as Legend of Legaia as a kid, but I can't remember it's name. Had a beautifully drawn art style, you start in an airship on fire after exploration, come to a hangar and conversation with npcs, a fight on burning plane wing with a huge cat going sideways on screen as npc initiates boss fight with cat OK shoulder. Like a golden good fortune cat. Next area is forested and really obscure as you have to find a hidden forest path pixels wide, with no clue of any sort to trade with a merchant for a compass to progress in the game. Never got any further as my rental ran out and shop closed :'( Once a year I scour the Internet and youtube to see if any else but me knows this game!!!

Incredible crisis is my jam!

Ex troopers music at 10:30

Thrill Kill is the one you missed 👍🏻👍🏻

I will pick up Kartia for sure

Do more for the PSP and PS VITA please

Incredible Crisis is incredible

Still waiting to see Dragon Seeds on a PS1 video... Maybe eventually

Yoo RISING ZAN!

Alundra is a great game i love it👌👌👌👌
