The Top 100 PS1 Games In 10 Minutes … according to gamer votes!

The Top 100 PS1 Games In 10 Minutes … according to gamer votes!

The Top 100 PS1 Games – as voted on by the users at GameFaqs … in 10 minutes. See the list here:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/916392-playstation/73165050

Admittedly, there are some odd entries on this list. For example, both Final Fantasy V *and* Final Fantasy Anthology are listed – which is a bit redundant. Ditto for Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy Chronicles. But, votes are votes and I listed them anyway.

Looking through this list, one developer in particular stands out for their output: Square. They published so many diverse titles with consistently high quality on the PS1. It’s interesting how they’ve went from successfully pursuing multiple genres to essentially being a single franchise shop…

What’s even more interesting is comparing this video with a Top 100 PS1 list … as listed by MetaCritic, which I have also uploaded! There’s a surprisingly wide disparity between what gamers consider “Top 100” and what critics consider “Top 100″…

On a personal note, I’m majorly bummed out that Omega Boost didn’t make either list. Boo.

NOTE: For people saying #49 is mis-identified – Final Fantasy Chronicles (#49) … is actually a collection of FFIV and Chrono Trigger. And considering I already had footage from FF Anthology, FFV and FFVI already on the list, I wanted to use some different footage of the game – hence the Chrono Trigger footage.

Also note that Resident Evil 1 does *not* appear twice. If you pay attention, the votes put “Resident Evil Director’s Cut” at 99 and the stock “Resident Evil” at 19.

    Soul reaver @71 is a travesty. Don’t even think I saw Blood Omen on the list. I just recently began a runthrough on that old game 20 yrs later. Still a good one.

  50. Wulfrick Ackerman on December 3, 2020 at 5:24 pm

    In my opinion of of the best PSX games was Future Cop LAPD. Sadly not a lot of people know it, but everyone that does loves it. It is a tiny gem with a loyal following.
