This isn't dissing the rest of the video but that Tekken 2 theme at the end hit me right in the nostalgia
Such a good song! No offence taken haha
@@thatvideogamesshow can you do a top 10 ps1 games to play on ps vita?
Legend of Dragoon and Jade Cocoon were awesome!
Instant classics!
Excellent video. You are an amazing youtuber. Thanks for your work.
Really appreciate the kind words =) Glad you enjoy the content!
Great vid as always man. I'm surprised you always find games I haven't heard of, like Kartia.
Thanks a lot, really appreciate that =) will be doing some more videos on the PS1 soon!
Xena, adventures of lomax, heart of darkness, monkey magic, night raid, wild 9.
Great vid mate!!!
I remember accidentally buying wild arms after hearing about wild nine. I still wasn't disappointed.
@@Wearywastrel thats funny man!
Never heard of Jade Cocoon and I claim to be a PS1 veteran. Thanks for the video
A must play imo
Love the tekken 2 music at the end awesome video . im going to check out shaolin it looks fun thanks bro !
Awesome video. Very obscure games ;)
Rapid Reload looks right up my alley. I love Gunstar Heroes.
Always love to see Jade Cocoon get a nod. Noone EVER mentions Monster Seed though.
Was Monster Seed the one that created monsters based off save files on your memory card?
@@rpgaholic8202 I think you're thinking of Dragon Seeds, which just gave me the hardest hit of "Ohhhh yeaahhhhh, I remember that" I've ever felt. I think I rented it from Blockbuster one time. Monster Seed made monsters based off of seed type and a few other small factors. It played like a strategy game. Super cheesy too
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile.
Yes!!
Great
Your pronunciation of Ehrgeiz 😂😂😂 makes my German mind explode
Is it a German word?
@ Yes, it means ambition.
Same haha
Very entertaining thank you. Just subbed.
Legend of Legia 1 was a pretty good rpg that gets overlooked as well.
Over looked by who??
I hear about it all the time haha
I really liked that one, and wild arms
@@onewaytriggames8832 bro NOBODY knee about it when t came out. I had it but the reviews and "talk" about it weren't big
@@brycestrife5605 aight yeah I guess that makes sense....there are a lot of examples of games that didn't get great coverage when first released but blew up
@@onewaytriggames8832 but legend of legia isnt one of those examples. its still incredibly obscure and overlooked. including the 3 of you in this comment chain that marks 4 total people ive found on the internet that have even heard of the game. legend of dragoon is way more popular and even it is on the edge of obscure.
just subscribed great review
Thanks Lee glad you enjoyed the video!
Threads of Fate and Jade Cocoon would be my two favourites from this video. 😀
Incredible games! Had so much fun with them back in the day.
You got a new sub here. You deserve way more subs! Keep up the great content
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoy the content.
Because of this list, I've installed PS1 emulator on my PC (again). Thanks man. 😀
Glad you enjoyed the video! Enjoy those PS1 games my friend!
Yooooo! I played threads of fate in a demo and for decades I couldn't remember what the name of it was and thought I imagined it! Thanks for reminding me what it was called.
Got all of these great review though and there's plenty more hidden Gems waiting to be discovered
The Legend of Dragoon is one of my favorite games. Love it so much.
Yes it's a absolute gem and I'll never forget playing it.
Jade Cocoon is short and sweet. Very fun game with memorable bosses.
It wasn't so short if you wanted every skin/entry in the beast log. Took me a year to figure out that your name changed the first creature you get.
Ending with that amazing Tekken 2 intro theme, props.
Brigandine is an excellent tactical J-RPG. I recommend!
I love this channel!
Thanks Dash! Plenty more videos on the way 🙂
Jade cocoon was my introduction to the RPG world. still love it
yo, you actually put bishi bashi on here. props. Deep cut.
holy crap man, me and my bro we played the heck out of threads of fate. almost forgot what it was like
Universally panned (in the states) when they came out, but well worth a playthrough: King’s Field 1 and 2! From From!
Never heard of these I’ll have to check them out and potentially include them for another episode! Thanks for the suggestions!
Wanted to get into these ones back in the day but the PAL versions of King's Field (yup, New Zealand no no NTSC PSX over here unless you were clued up with the import scene!) was nearly unplayable due to it's sluggish controls and shitty frame rate. Was a precursor of things to come though - look at some of the 1st person RPGs that have come out since then (ie, Skyrim).
Same studio that did dark souls.
As a kid without a pc in the late 90s I went into funcoland and asked if they had anything like Everquest and the guy pointed me toward King’s field. At first I was understandably a little disappointed but over time it really grew on me. Solid games.
Needs more Monster Rancher 2
Tekken 3 vagrant story and dragon warrior 7 along with syp filter 1 and 2.
Sherm Hart those aren't hidden gems. Everybody knows about those games.
I knew Jade Cacoon would be #1. I stumbled into the game by Blockbuster rental and it kept me playing for hours.
I stole it from them before they shut down.
"LSD Dream Emulator"
Am I tripping!? 😂😂😂
Hahaha its definitely worth its name 😅
That Video Games Show I love to tell jokes in the comments, sorry if it's a little bit too much lol! 😂😂😂
Never too much 🙂
That Video Games Show That's good! 🙂
You will be.. You will be..
Einhander is one of my favorite shooters
Vanguard Bandits is awesome too!
Legend of the Dragoon and Jade cocoon. This list is complete.
SLED STORM!!! SPENT HOURS PLAYING WITH FRIENDS.
Used to play that when i was kid. I was scared of the wolf level 🤣
I'd suggest Silent Bomber, an amazing 3d arcade by Bandai.
Developed by CyberConnect! Their other game on the platform, Tail Concerto, is also really good :)
EDIT: He talked about Silent Bomber in another PS1 list!
Look up "Incredible Crisis", you won't regret it. A true PS1 hidden gem, the game just has so much bizarre personality, it's hilariously awesome and fun, albeit short.
Also, I don't consider The Legend of Dragoon a "hidden gem" it's widely considered a favorite among many ps1 owners.
Bro me and my cousin used to play that game like crazy back then I thought no one knew of that game
I just looked it up. I MUST PLAY IT NOW I LOVE WEIRD FUN JAPANESE GAMES LIKE THIS. Thank you!!
@@KayMayhem777 the dancing mini game in the cubicle office is my favorite
Oh man I passed that game up at a game shop a week ago just because the covet art didn't really catch my attention it look great.
einhander is gorgeous, it could pass as a ps2 game it’s so polished
Jade cocoon Was my Favorite game back then directly followed by Metal gear Solid
But Jade cocoon was the game i played most intese a masterpiece in Work together with Studio ghibli nice list some games i Like to Play
Trap Gunner, Silent Bomber, One Piece Mansion, Tetris Plus and Destrega
Came to see you talk about jade cocoon :)
Edit: was not disappointed.
It's a shame you didn't include intelligent Qube or tobal no.1
Legend of Legaia!!! The best!!!
No Hellnight!!?? 😆
Sick list though. Legend of Dragoon was immense.
Haha god damn Hellnight that game haunts me now!
LSD dream emulator is amazing
Bishi Bashi with 2 players is fun. Very nostalgic
Played most of the games. Legend of dragoon is a masterpiece almost as equal to ff7.
It was ok not great; but fair. Beat it and really never thought about it again. Nothing remarkable about it.
remember legends of dragoon played a demo back in the day
3:52 Threads of Fate was developed by Square Soft, not Atlus.
Love your production value man it means alot to me as a viewer who just follow the feed
Shaolin's concept would make for a pretty awesome Dragon Ball game; following Goku as he ages.
Best PS1 games for me are Gekitsou tomarunner, wu tang clan and valkyrie profile
Not sure I'd put ANY Squaresoft games on a hidden gems list as most of them are pretty well known. Good list though, Dragoon and Jade cocoon are phenomenal
Legend of Dragoon looks very sharp in that footage. Is it modded?
Tekken music 😍😍😍 at the beginning
I use to love Shaolin a lot
I'm pretty sure that Threads of fate was developed by Square, maybe atlus published?
Your right! That’ll teach me to double check!
I think I just know that because I played alot as a kid lol
Such a good game! Thanks for pointing out the mistake, I appreciate it.
Speaking of atlus: they made a TON of tactical rpgs based on some odd things like the one where you use a French horn to manipulate dolls on a battlefield? Rahpsody?
Jade cocoon, threads of fate, and bishi bashi are the best
I’m a big Final Fantasy 7 fan that’s why I like to buy Ehrgeiz for the PSONE
It’s such a great game, nothing better than fighting as Cloud!
FF7 is my favorite game of all time.
Abe's odyssey and legend of legia were overlooked games, but gems.
Abe's odyssey wasn't overlooked actually, it was pretty popular
@@Livingtree32 that's true. Should have said Herc's adventure. Loved that game, ended up selling it for like $200
Plays a 2nd Legend of Dragoon song as he starts talking about LSD Dream Emulator.....
Clever
I'm in dire need of the outro song name. Thank you.
Jade Cocoon seems interesting, how did I miss it?
Tekken 2 outro♥️😭♥️♥️♥️
threads of fate is the very first RPG game that I have ever played.
Brave Fencer Musashi!
The ultimate hidden gem.
Nice list! Some underrated gems i thought of: Jackie chan stuntmaster, Jumping flash 2, Ninja, Nightmare creatures, Courier crisis, Ray tracers, Lomax, Gungage, Ape escape, ESPN extreme games
Courier crisis was so good! Great suggestion man.
@@thatvideogamesshow awesome that you mention Courier Crisis!
This is what i love about the PS1 library. There are just so many games and everyone has their group of favorites. There wasn't the ever present internet at the time telling you which games you are supposed to like/buy. I remember just browsing stores looking at the cases. Found some true gems that way.
Jackie Chan is not underRated, you moron.
Ape Escape was advertised quite a bit though.
Whats song in "Threads of Fate"?
Jesus that Tekken 2 theme is still so sexy as ever
If Legend of Dragoon is not the best rpg on ps1, what would you say is? I own them all personally and can say from experience that Legend of Dragoon is on it's own level. And I mean, I own ALL ps1 rpgs. From Persona to Tales of Destiny, Lunar, etc.
"LSD dream emulator" has me very curious
Jade coco joguei muito, salvei duas vezes mesmo depois de salvar tem as dungeons infinitas top demais 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Need part 2...top ten is not enough
Totally agree, will be working on a part 2 very soon!
@@thatvideogamesshow yeah so many hidden Gems on ps1 like brigandine, front mission 3,saiyuki,vigilante,thousand arms, ape escape,
Kept thinking the game was called Fred's of fate
Does anyone remember a game called Brownie(y) or the main character went by brownie(y)?
Only three games in the video I didn't even heard of, the rest were well known.
I totally played einhander but completely forgot about it!!! Similar to it was G Darius. One of my favorite hidden gems is the Tomba series
But why does he bite the pigs!?
Dude i had one Arcade cabinet with it in my primary school canteen in the early 2000's! .It was big deal at the time,and i never saw that title in real life again! 😄
Remember playing it once or two
All good choices. I remember really liking the Einhander demo. My friend had G Darius and it was fun. I don't really like shmups either. Also Tomba is my favorite. I was actually playing it last night in an emulator.
I actually played Shaolin , I'm surprised I owned an obscure game😂
The Adventure of Little Ralph, Harmful Park, Sexy Parodius, Cotton 100%.
I wish I had a physical copy of einhander, it’s way too expensive.
LSD Simulator is not something you get from dream at all...This is something you get by sitting on the toilet fighting for your life!
Great video , always a joy to watch your videos brother
Could u do a gba best adventures / rpg ? Lol been on a Pokémon binge lately 😂
Glad you enjoyed in Juan! Nice, which Pokemon games have you been playing? Yeah sure I’ll add it to the video list!
💯💯 thanks for replying dawg . And man lately it’s been fire red and Also leaf green .
Juan Solorio ahhh nice the remakes! They were so good. Think my favourite RPG on the GBA has to be Golden Sun, so many fond memories!
Vandal Hearts and Rival Schools: United by Fate
Plastic Jesus apparently doesn’t have the lockdown on hidden gem videos anymore.
I couldn't tell you how many hours a 10 year old me put into jade cocoon. I love that game happy to see it mentioned.
I spent hours into the demo alone. Sadly, never owned the full game.
Kartia is really a hidden gem
Jade Cocoon ist the best
Kartia, the WORD of Fate
Jade Cocoon will stay in my heart forever and I only finished it once. The soundtrack, the atmosphere, it´s a real gem. Legend of dragoon is awesome too
I feel like Legend of Dragoon isnt a hidden gem. Soo many people talk about it and say how great it is that it becomes overrated as I just found it boring as a kid.
I feel the same way. I see people talk about it on EVERY ps1 video talking about how no one talks about it. I love jrpgs, but I found it boring, too.
Isnt a hidden gem, and think it could even qualify as overrated as well.
the battle system is good at first but it gets boring and slow the more we did it
Tht music is from tekken rite?
Whats that intro song?
PS1 hidden gem list without Tail Concerto smh
EDIT: Oh you got more videos! Still see no Tail Concerto but at least there's Silent Bomber :)
Einhander é perfeito
"Shaolin"
"You Grow Up As Your Skills Develop."
So it's like Pokemon except you play as a child that grows up when your skills develop!? Sounds actually quite interesting! 🤔
It’s a really good game, well worth a shot!
That Video Games Show It sounds like a pretty good game, I might try it out some day! 😄😁👍
TheSpidercrabb4 It definitely sounds like an interesting game! 🤔😄😁👍
Ancient games 😁
Marvel vs Capcom!
Great episode. I'd personally recommend Clock Tower on the PSone. Graphically it looks bad. But, for it's time it was pretty impressive as a child. Now, it's a point and click adventure style in real time which gives it a more unique feel than other games of it's type. There are multiple endings, around eight I believe. We have some genuinely amazing scares in this game and I love it. Tons of secrets as well. It is possible to save everyone in the game, or even die at the beginning and get a bad ending right away. Though challenging, you can make it with some memorization. Will you survive... Clock Tower?
Glad you enjoyed it Joseph! Ooooo Clock Tower! Great suggestion, many fond memories with that one.. I can proudly say I survived it haha I'll have to include it for a future episode.
For a video done in 2019 these games have constantly been brought up. Einhander has a cult following and is expensive.
Waaaait, was there a godhand game on psx? I didn't even know he was on ehrgeiz
