Video games have come a long way since the original PlayStation in terms of mechanics, graphics, and much else. However, PlayStation 1 games still hold up and that is why there are remasters and remakes. There are many that have been left behind to collect dust and there are just some that are good but forgotten by fans as time passed.

There are a lot of original PlayStation games that gamers have likely forgotten over time. These, however, should be remembered.

10 Jet Moto

Jet Moto was a series of racing games. The first title came out in 1996 and the last in 1999. It differed from other racing games at the time, because the player got to ride a hover-bike that could float over the ground. The use of hover-bikes led to some creative race tracks such as waterways.

The series was popular and well-received but it never continued to the PlayStation 2.

9 Fighting Force

This 3D beat-em-up game came out in 1997. The gameplay was very simple, having the player move through sci-fi environments and battling waves of enemies as they do so. It got mixed reviews, but a lot of players and critics liked the fact that you could interact with the environment. It was the kind of game that gave the player the satisfaction of destroying random objects they find as they explore.

The player could also choose between four characters with different special moves.

8 Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee

Oddworld is a PS1 game that won many awards such as "E3 Showstopper 1997" from GamePro and the "Best Director" award at the World Animation Festival in 1997. It was a hit. Those who played it likely remember it, but it is utterly unknown to everyone else despite its wide acclaim during its time.

You play an alien named Abe on a quest to defend the ecosystem of his planet against industrial corporations. Some few criticisms of the game included that you could only save at checkpoints and it had a steep learning curve.

7 Looney Toons - Sheep Raider

This game was also called Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf for those that lived outside North America. It was a mix of stealth and puzzle. It received above average reviews. For a lot of gamers though, this was a nostalgic childhood game. It was loved for its challenging puzzles and its goofy execution in true Looney Toons style.

Odd as it sounds, this game could serve as a kid-version of the Metal Gear series in terms of gameplay.

6 Dino Crisis

The legacy of Dino Crisis is a bizarre one. It was a critically successful survival horror game but has basically been left behind anyway. Loyal fans have been asking for a re-installment of this game for years and have gotten nothing. In 2017, Capcom did say they would consider making more if enough people wished for it. The deathly silence that came over that tweet years later shows that maybe just not enough Capcom fans today remember Dino Crisis.

5 Rampage World Tour

Released in 1997, Rampage World Tour is a game that got mixed to average reviews. The game has a fun goal in mind though: destroy a city. It was an arcade game but was also released for the PS1. It could feel a little like a down-grade as the arcade version supported three players and the PS1 could only support up to two. Despite that though, it was a simple game that was a fun way to get out aggression.

4 Intelligent Qube

If you are a puzzle lover, then this was your game. In Europe, this game was called Kurushi. The puzzle game came out in 1997 and it was one of those puzzle games that were very addicting. It was the Candy Crush of its time. It was a major hit in Japan, but not so much in the United States. Due to that, it was never re-released in North America.

Polygon has actually written an article about this game being a good reason to buy the PlayStation Classic.

3 Dragon Valor

This action RPG was released in 1999 in Japan and in 2000 for Europe and North America. It was made by Namco and was actually the third game in the Dragon Buster series. You play someone whose role is the Dragon Valor, a dragon slayer who has a magical sword passed down through generations.

The game had very mixed reviews. Like any quality RPG though, you do get to make choices in various chapters and can get different endings depending on those choices.

2 Threads Of Fate

This game came out exactly around the same time as Dragon Valor. It was made by Square Enix, and basically told two different stories depending on which character the player chooses to play as. Both characters, named Rue and Mint, are seeking something that can grant wishes called a Dewprism. They both want something different though.

The game got favorable reviews and even got a manga based after it.

1  Dark Stone

Released in 1999, fans today would call this title a "poor man's Diablo." It was a great dungeon crawler and hack-and-slash for its time. Today it pales in comparison to RPG giants like The Witcher 3 and Skyrim, but it can still be enjoyed today by those who are nostalgic.

This game was actually relaunched for the iOS in 2014.
