    Well, my birthday's coming in a couple of days, so I decided to order a bunch of used PlayStation classics 'n' shit off Amazon, and I need suggestions on what I should buy. These are the PS1 games I currently have:
    -Crash Bandicoot 1 & 2
    -Crash Team Racing
    -Spyro the Dragon 1 & 3 (Year of the Dragon)
    -Metal Gear Solid
    -Tekken
    -Mortal Kombat 4

    So if you could just give me a list of suggestions of what games I should order, I would very appreciate it! Thanks! ^.^

    There are *very* few PlayStation games that are still worth playing today for any reason other than the nostalgia factor. The whole 5th generation has aged horribly.

    Still, you might want to check out Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto London 1969 and Grant Theft Auto 2. There were also a couple of side-scrollers which I vaguely remember being entertaining: Hercules (yeay for Disney games!) and Wild 9.

    Other than that, I'm struggling to think of things that haven't been done far better from the sixth gen onwards. Buy the original Medal of Honor if you want to see just how far things have moved on. :P

    Yes, and if I remember correctly, William Shakespeare was an unlockable multiplayer character.

    Don't you agree, Zach?

    Crash Bandicoot: Warped (aka 3) was always a favorite of mine. You have the first two so I don't think I need to say anything more about that.
    I would also say LSD: Dream Emulator, but that's Japan only and I don't know anything about all the region locking and importing stuff. If you can somehow play Japan only games though, then you should definitely check it out.

    Yea i remember playing Medal of Honor back before COD became such a popular POS.
    They were fun, but then online multilayer came take a bit shit on it.
    Yea i also recommend the Crash Bandicoot games.
    The new ones suck, but the first three were amazing, The second and third more than the first, but i don't remember which ones were for which PS.
    But yea, overall i recommend you save your money and buy yourself a cheap used PS2.
    There was a FUCKLOAD of great games on it, and the console is pretty cheap now, and games are easy to get at craptastic places like GameStop.

    Hell Night and Kartia: The World of Fate are two titles that jump out immediately. The first is a first person horror survival title with a really great story, and the second is a RPG. Both are pretty good. If you're into RE, you can get those classic titles, but like Katz said, most PS1 games have either been remade to something better, or simply aren't worth playing as they haven't aged well.

    Oh, Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy Tactics might be worth looking into, as well.

    Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis are all on PSN so I'd get those. Final Fantasy VII is really good too but I didn't care for Final Fantasy VIII so don't get that.

    @Picklegod: Silent Hill 2 is a PS2 game, not original PlayStation.

    Whoops, had it mislabeled in my list. Thanks for catching that.

    Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage is a great deal of fun. You said you already have Crash 2 which is one of the best ps1 games in my opinion, but Castlevania Symphony of the Night is amazing I hear. I also used to love Tony Hawk 2 (the one with the hangar and the snow rooms I think) and some of the Twisted Metal games, especially 2.. Man I don't know what was with twos, but wtf. Both of the Frogger games on ps1 were classic as well.
