      Same. And I was that age where I had no money when ps1 was out. So even a lot of the great games I knew of, I never owned.

    This is a great video and I'll be checking out a bunch of the games mentioned, but there is one thing I would recommend to improve the video. It would be nice to mention if a game is exclusive to a specific territory, such as Rapid Reload being release in EU and JP (as Gunner's Heaven), but never released in NA.
    It would help people find these games easier if they knew which regions they were released in as well as different regional names if applicable.

    3:15 - Trick'N Snowboarder has bonus Capcom characters, advertises a way to make your own snowboarding action video based on your run, supports a mouse controller for editing the logo - like R4: Ridge Racer Type 4.decal editor via the garage - and, also like R4 Ridge Racer, supports PS1 system link for a pair of PS1s supplying output to a couple screens much like Cool Boarders 2. Of course, have to mention this is from the NTSC point of view so regions might differ.
    ..... 6:18 - an interesting concept with the ~psionic energy in Disruptor. If there was only one thing I wish the fevelopers had done it would have been to a add mouse controller support for looking, firing, etc. in tandem with a controller for movement, etc. - much like Quake II and Alien Resurrection for PS1. Still a good FPS.

    This was a surprise, I mean I thought I knew most of the good games of the PS1 library. Yoyo, Trickn, and Final Resistance came of left field. Awesome list. I feel like there are too many hidden gem vids that cover most of the same games, it's the list that covers new games you haven't herd of is what a real hidden Gem. Vandal Hearts I knew about but you were probably the first to mention it in a hidden gem vid. Thanks!

    Good video! I must admit I find Alundra is actually overrated. It's pretty good but feels stretched out and often boring. Also it's just frustrating to play and never felt with it for me. But it is pretty good still, but it doesn't touch the best Zelda games.

    rapid reload was my first ps1 game, i mean, i rented it a couple of times when i only had demo disks at home, and then decided to buy it directly [i was very little, so i had to save some money]
    heavily underrated, but also very difficult game, so i get that it may didnt sold well as it should.
    seriously, i finished the game YEARS after buying it, the game has few levels, but one of those was a huge roadblock for me
    PS: Axel and Ruka makes a cameo in wild arms 2 if i remember correctly
