When corporations screw you over by not releasing amazing games in your territory, Piracy is your friend. Plus PSX emulation is insane right now, more so given you can easily use an actual DualShock3 to play the games wirelessly.Tallim said:I know right! Chrono Cross was particularly annoying and part of the reason I imported in the end and it turned out to be one of my favourite games of all time.Bara_no_Hime said:**eyes widen**Tallim said:Nope
Although you can use a USA account to get it. I've still got my import copy from way back when so I'm good and yes it's a terrible thing for it to never have come out here. As I was saying further up, IMO the best games of the PS1 era never came out in the EU. Chrono Cross, Parasite Eve, Final Fantasy Tactics, Xenogears, Valkyrie Profile. We got none of them.
That is... so sad. Parasite Eve and Chrono Cross too? That's horrific? What did people in the PAL region play?! Other than American copies of those games, I mean.
Oh we also didn't get Einhander :/ and I LOVED that.
I've already said I imported the games and a USA ps1 at the time....vasiD said:When corporations screw you over by not releasing amazing games in your territory, Piracy is your friend.

That said, I also just generally condone piracy when it comes to old games. In a way they're like works of art, and should really be kept free to the public, but the publishers still want to make more, and while with cult classics that would be understandable as the product missed it's market initially, but it seems like only the games that easily made back their cash are getting ported to modern systems. I guess what I'm trying to say with this paragraph is that games won't be art until we treat them like art rather than a corporate commodity.

Oh my gawd! As a kid, I never realized that! Right in the childhood! The vah jay jay of doom! Why would you do that to me? WHY?! ;_;Furbyz said:I'd definitely recommend the Crash Bandicoot series. I fairly recently went back and played it for the first time since 98, and realized why I loved the game so much as a kid. It honestly holds up very well.
I saw Legend of Dragoon mentioned, and I'd agree that it's worth a look. It definitely could have been much better than it was (really bad translation and too easy if you know what you're doing), but I loved that game to bits.
And if nothing else, Legend of Dragoon gave us the single greatest attack in the history of gaming.
Yeah, that just happened.
