So, my PSP plays PSX games. This discovery has fueled a massive hit of nostalgia, and I wish to continue.

Recommend your favorite PSX games!
Gabi
FF7, FF9

Vagrant Story
BEST. jRPG. EVER.



except of that, erm... most of SquareSoft productions, Crash Team Racing, Soul Edge, Roll Away (known as Kula World/Kula Quest too).
maay
I have the Megaman X and Crash series on my PSP. I've also played Tales of Destiny, that shitty although fun to play Yu-Gi-Oh! and some Digimon games a few days ago.

These were my favorites back in my PSX days... :(
Kite
Valkyrie Profile, Legend of Legaia, Legend Of Dragoon, Star Ocean the Second Story, Tales of Destiny I ; II, FF7, FF8; Alundra 2, Megaman8

Fighting Games : Bloody Roar I & II; Destrega; Dead or Alive; Tekken 2

I know its only been 3 hours, but nobody's said Symphony of the Night yet. That's a liiiiiittle disappointing.

As for JRPGs, Grandia was a masterpiece. Minus the lousy voice acting.
Waryas
SO2, Xenogears, FF7
Holy trinity of JRPG on PS1.

Hi daru!
Hmm.. what haven't been said yet. umm I really enjoyed Xenogears. Only thing that bugged me about that game was the camera when moving around dungeons it was set too close and it was hard to see around.. but story and gameplay is awesome, really dark at times.
Chrono cross is must-try.(I'm pretty sure you've played Chrono trigger before so I don''t mention it)
Legend of Legaia
Tales of phantasia
Metal gear solid (in my opinion best in series)
Thousand arms
Medievil
I also second that you try alundra 2, Legend of Dragoon and Vagrant Story; altho i didnt like vagrant story much on psp.. might be better on actual console because of tricky controls.

Hopefully this helped you abit :)
Zekira
Legend of Manaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Digimon World (1)

I also remember playing Threads of Fate, though I'm not sure how much I liked it back then.

I didn't really play many games on the Playstation when we had one, but when we did...

Crash Bandicoot 2
Crash Bandicoot WARPED!! (3)
CTR: Crash Team Racing
Gran Turismo / GT 2
Small Soldiers
Spyro the Dragon
Metal Gear Solid

Also I tried the Demo for Medievil on those demo discs they used to give out with magazines, i remember it being a lot of fun but wasnt able to actually buy it.

EDIT: Also recommending Megaman X4

Since I haven't seen them recommended yet, Parasite Eve and Parasite Eve 2. Both games are strange horror/RPG hybrids, but they work quite well and are an absolute blast. With The Third Birthday on the way, it's good preparation for it.

I'd also recommend the following:

Klonoa: Door to Phantomile (short and easy, but absolutely fun and adorable)
Persona 2: Innocent Sin/Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (IS is getting a PSP remake, but still)
Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere (the Japanese version if you can get it, since the NA/PAL version does not have a story mode or animated cutscenes; great if you are at all interested in air combat games)
LSD (lololol)
Clock Tower (sure, it's actually the sequel to the SNES game, but it can be played without it, it's still a scary good time)
Sentinel Returns
Tail Concerto
Um Jammer Lammy
Behon
Omega Boost and Incredible Crisis.
Mafiamaster
Brave Fencer Musashi
Mismagius
Spyro Year of the Dragon ~

These were not recommended because I was A - forgetful and B - so surprised by the lack of SotN I didn't even consider anything else.

Grandia was edited in, that's how absent-minded I was.

Parasite Eve was great. I played partway through Eve 2, and thought it, too, was great, but there's a scratch on disc 1 that prevents me from playing past like, the 10 minute mark :( I have to play a pirated version for PSP. I think I'm midway through the second mission, but when I give it my full attention I'll probably replay from scratch.

What about these:

Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Heroes
Tekken 3
Capcom vs. SNK 2
Soul Blade
Bloody Roar
Bloody Roar 2

(I like fighting games, so sue me) :P
Mogsy
Most fighting games are great because of multiplayer. Being able to fight with others is the entire point. I don't think PSPSX has multiplayer capabilities, though.

Unless it has Kalliera Support like the PJ64k or Final Burn Alpha then it could be possible that there is a PSXk somewhee out there.
