Original Story 19/09/2018 @ 08:27 – One of the big trends in recent memory is the creation of mini versions of famous retro consoles that have a stack of classic titles stuffed into their ickle plastic innards. Nintendo has made a fortune off of it, and we’ve seen everything from the Sega Genesis to the Commodore 64 represented in a miniature form already. Now we can make way for the PlayStation Classic!
PlayStation Classic PSOne Games List
Sony has announced the PlayStation Classic, a mini version of PSOne that will come packed with 20 classic games. Right now, only five games have been confirmed for the December 3 launch of PlayStation Classic. These are:
- Final Fantasy VII
- Ridge Racer Type 4
- Wild Arms
- Tekken 3
- Jumping Flash
But what other PSOne games would be deemed essential to telling the story of the original PlayStation? What are the defining titles, for better or worse, that you’d put in a teensy grey plastic box to relive the birth of the gaming giant we have today?
We naturally have a few suggestions for it.
Other Possible PlayStation Classic PSOne Games
Metal Gear Solid
Hideo Kojima’s stealth masterpiece broke new ground in so many ways. It arguably shaped the games industry for years to come.
Crash Bandicoot
Love him or hate him, the orange bugger sits firmly in the memory of many a PlayStation fan from that era. It’d be criminal not to include one of his games.
Wipeout 2097
Wipeout is integral to the initial success of the PlayStation brand. Having at least one of the series would be a dead cert for any collection from that era.
Gran Turismo
One of the most beloved racing game series of all time started here. Possible licensing issues aside on the soundtrack, it’d be rude not to.
Resident Evil
Survival Horror caught fire on PlayStation, and that was all thanks to Capcom’s spooky, zombie-filled, mansion adventure.
That’s just a small amount of the defining titles that we deem essential for any kind of PlayStation Classic, but we’d like your opinion too. What PSOne games would you want, nay demand, for PlayStation Classic?
