Anyone still buying PSX games?

Nightwarrior · August 1st, 2001, 10:42 PM

The last PSX games I bought were Megaman X5 and Knockout Kings 2001 (because the PS2 version suck soooooo bad).

Since then, i have not touched my old PSX in a very very long time, nor do i care for the overheating gray machine.

Why buy PSX games when I can get much cheaper and better looking DC games? I'll save the big bucks for the PS2 fall lineup.

Not really no. If I can find Smackdown 2 for real cheap I might pick it up cuz I'm getting stoked for #3.

Oh and you should check out the videos for Smackdown 3 at IGN NW. They look alot better then the crappy stills and original E3 movies that I've seen so far.

I'll get Megaman X5 when it drops some. The last PSX game I can remember buying was Activision Classics - and that was sometime ago.

I have not but oh how I want Metal Slug!

No one else got this game? I want it badly but not for 40/45 bucks that I have seen it going for!

Yeah, I'm still buying the ones I missed plus Arc the Lad collection. Graphics don't matter for RPGs anyway.

King_Mightystud · August 2nd, 2001, 08:11 AM

I still buy them once in a while. I spend most of my game money on PS2 games, and save some for the NGC launch.

I picked up Parisite Eve for $15, and I got FF Chronicles (used) for $40 from a guy who didn't like it. There are others I'd like to get if I see them cheap. (though I pretty much have all the good ones).

Now is a good time to get games you missed on the PSX. They are cheap and most work just fine on the PS2.
I'm having a swell time with Metal Slug and Treasures of the Deep.
I will proably buy the next Syphon Filter.

GR, you can get MMX5 for $30 at regular price. And you are complaining about this? Man, get your butt to the store and buy this game!

BTW, I STILL don't understand why ther wrestlers in WWF Smackdown 3 for the PS2 are lacking emotions. There is no excuse for this, it is just laziness. If there is any sports game that deserves real life emotions, it is a wrestling game.

It looks so stupid for a character to get Rock Bottomed and still show no emotion.

Bullish....

I still have to find a few more older PSX games. Valkyrie Profile and Lunar 2 not to mention Ace Combat 2 and many others. Man, the PSX has way too many great games.

------------------

Diamond W · August 2nd, 2001, 10:49 AM

I plan on picking up Arc The Lad Collection (probably sometime around jan 2009...) and recently bought Fear Effect 2. Other than that, I don't plan on buying any more PSX games.

I basically pick up older games that I missed out on the first time. I only bought MMX5 new, and the only other new games I may get is FFT and FFC.

magius: MMX5 is basically MM. I can't really think of anything else to say about it. The newest thing about it is that the characters can now duck. I thought the 'time' factor would have made a bigger impact on the game than it did (hopefully MMX6 can infuse some 'originality' to the series). Still a good game though, especially if you like Megaman.

mountpanic · August 2nd, 2001, 04:26 PM

I never had a PSX, so I'm catching up on many of the better games now that I can play them on PS2. I've bought over 20 PSX games in the last 5 months, and expect to buy more, cheaply, in the next year, as suckers sell them to the used game store.
