Beat the Playstation Library!

[MagusSmurf | 577]

The following PAL games are currently listed i nthe main body:

• One Piece Grand Battle!
• Overblood 2 
• Gungage

There's also various things wrong with the Victory Boxing franchise I don't want to bother with spelling out everything for, so I'll just leave this here and let Jeevan figure it all out:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/games/franchise/177-contender

note the release data for each game.

Compilations of standalone PS1 games to remove:

• Disney Action Games Collector's Edition
• Disney's Collector's Edition
• EA Action Collectors' Edition  
• EA Racing Collectors' Edition  
• EA Sports Collectors' Edition
• Eidos Collector’s Edition

Pretty sure Metal Gear Solid - Special Missions and VR Missions are the same thing.

There's some silly stuff going on with how the localized King's Field games were numbered but despite similarities, Shadow Tower is definitely not King's Field III.

It seems dubious to me that Nascar 98 Collector's Edition and 99 Legacy count as separate games from the originals if RE1 Director's Cut and Dual Shock version don't (and we made the correct call for the latter imo, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJYvCHm3Ov4 aside) but I don't know anything about those games. Same with The Lost World - Jurassic Park Special Edition.

If we're including PAL games, that potentially raises some questions about Final Fantasy Anthology and Chronicles. FFIV-FFVI had European releases on PS1 but they had VI by itself whereas their "Final Fantasy Anthology" was IV and V. Given this, that all of the games involved (FFIV/V/VI and CT) are based on Japanese PS1 versions released standalone anyways, that all of the real games involved there come on their separate own discs no matter what kind of box they came in or titles they were released and marketed under, and that PSN sells those games individually under PS1 classics rather than together under the Anthology/Chronology titles (Square/Sony have spoken!), I think it makes more sense to do them individually.

Also, the Actua Golf games, Box Champions 2000, Kula World, Kurushi, Power Diggerz, Rayman Junior (all 3 of them), Theme Park World, are European games that were released under different names in the US.  Not sure if there are US equivalents for Actua Pool and Soccer.

Net Yaroze, Memory Card 1MB, and Official Mouse aren't games.

Irritating Stick got a US release.
RPG Maker includes a sample game that can be beaten.  I'm not sure either way about Fighter Maker.

I've somehow not known this for over 20 years.

[TDIRunner | 2,733]

@Jeevan  Are you trying to make a US list or all regions?  I did a quick copy and paste into Excel and you have about 200 too many lines for the US set and it's way too low for all regions.  I can send you an Excel list with just the US set if you want it.  

Edited January 15, 2022 by TDIRunner

[TDIRunner | 2,733]

When we did this back when PlayStation Age was still a thing, I knocked out several dozen games on the PS1 list in the first year.  But traffic was so low over there, I was pretty much the only person active in the thread.  

When I wrap up BOTW (which should be soon) I might start knocking PS1 games off the list.  I'll start with the ones I can beat with my eyes closed.

[Jeevan | 8,910]

OK!

Thanks to @TDIRunner for the "final" list   If there is any mistakes blame them .  JK, but anyway, feel free to post away, i will update semi regularly, aka, whenever i get time     have fun and enjoy!

I love that you've taken on these threads, thanks for the hard work @Jeevan!

FYI, IMHO "beating" RPG Maker of Fighting Maker should involve making those games, not beating any samples.

yes, but who will play them, do they mail me a memory card?  lol.  maybe we should just exclude them?

No, that's not quite what I meant.  I simply meant to register it as finished is to simply create a game on both.  It doesn't have to be much, just something to engage the full, but unique, library of the system.  We are on the honor system here so they can just start up their new games and show the intro/first scene of them.

I can agree with this condition if it seems like a good one.  not sure how much involvement it takes, but open to suggestions for sure.

@RH @Jeevan

I'm good w/ that re: RPGMaker et al. The point of them is to MAKE a game, the samples should be taken as just samples, side content. It's all honor system really, so I'd trust anyone who said they made an RPG, and would HOPE that nobody would actively deprive themselves of the pleasure of doing so. Many days as a kid were spent doing just that, and even with literally zero people to play my games I still had a lot of fun, and learned a lot.

I didn't know it was on ps1, thought it was a newer gen thing.  interesting that it came out that era.

I forget the name of it (despite owning a copy myself) but there was also a Shmup maker on PS1 in Japan. The concept of making your own games was/is pretty popular over there.

Dezaemon Plus, I think?

It's on Super Famicom too.  I think there were PC versions that came out even earlier.

Must be one of the Dezaemon games.  There's Plus, which is an update of the Super Famicom version and Kids, which I think was meant to be an easier to use version.  The nice thing about Kids though is that it contains about 100 pre made games.

Beat Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

The combat is pretty simple, there are too many block puzzles, there’s a bit of jank (constricting!), it’s surprisingly light on dialogue and story, there’s not much of a conclusion, and I ran into a file-killing glitch over halfway through.

But, the creative vision here is really strong, I had fun, and I’m excited to see where this franchise goes.

7/10

[TDIRunner | 2,733]

I wanted to at least get my name on the board, so I knocked out Crash Bandicoot this evening just to get a quick one out of the way.  

I wished we had started this last year because I completed several PS1 games that take well into the 8-10 hour plus range to complete.  But oh well, just gives me an excuse to play through them again.
