Like most of my lists, this is all based on personal preference. I didn't take it from a website or anything like that...These are games that I've played that I felt deserved to be on the list. If I left out a game that you think should be plugged in, leave a comment and I'll either explain why I left it out or, in the case that I haven't played it, I'll try to track down a copy and let you know how I felt about the experience after I give it a whirl.
Oh, and for right now, this is a work-in-progress list. I kind of decided to make it spur-of-the-moment so I have no planned order or anything, that'll be modified as I add games to it. I'll also be adding/removing games regularly in order to make room for good games that I may have played for the first time that I feel deserve to be on the list...There are plenty of Playstation games that I haven't played yet, so I'm sure that this list will have a lot of modifying done to it.
Gundam Battle Assault 2 is my favorite fighting game on the PS1. You kinda have to be a fan of the series to like it though. The Final Fantasy collection with Chrono Trigger on it is great. That's how I first played Chrono Trigger. I'd have to look back over the PS1 games I've played and I'll throw some other games out there for you.
Chocobo Racing is another favorite of mine. Sim Theme Park, Micro Maniacs, Driver 2, Rampage: World Tour and Rampage: Universal Tour. These are some more games.
i skipped over final fantasy anthology and chronicles by habit...i usually don't include compilations in my 'top' lists since it's multiple games. but, since i've got the arc the lad collection on here, i suppose i should add them, too.
if i can find gundam battle assault 2, i'll get it and play it....same with micro maniacs and rampage: universal tour.
chocobo racing, i've got to put more time into before i fully judge it for being on the list. i own rampage: world tour, but haven't played it yet. driver 2 deserves some recognition for how ambitious it was....and i might add it to the back-end of the list because of that...but it was just too buggy for me to give it more. and sim theme park...i've played it....but i can't remember much about it for the life of me hehe. i'll have to play it again.
i'll still be adding more and taking others out in the coming days...this is a rough list. i'll also be on the lookout for the games you mentioned. gracias for the suggestions. :) if you can think of any more, feel free to send 'em my way.
as a follow-up to my earlier comment, i've added final fantasy anthology due to it being the first north american release of final fantasy v. but, i left final fantasy chronicles off the list since both chrono trigger and final fantasy iv (ii on snes) were previously released in north america, so it wasn't anything new. i consider both games to be on a best of snes list, so i don't want to take the spot of a lesser-known game that could be featured on the list instead. i may still take anthology off in time for the same reason of putting the games in a snes list and give a made-for playstation game its spot...but for now, it'll stay.
destruction derby and wipeout i've played. i think they're alright...i made this a while back, so i might've forgot about 'em back when i made it. i'll take a look at the list and see if i can find two games that they might bump out.
(EDIT: just looked over the list. i think i left the original destruction derby and wipeout off the list in order to make room for other, different games. i have destruction derby 2 and wipeout 3 & xl on the list. i felt that the sequels added more to the original concepts of those games...but ultimately it was more of the same, so i took the sequels over the originals. and wipeout 3 will likely be the first game bumped off the list now that i realized i have both 3 and xl on here.)
and i have die hard trilogy, but haven't played it yet. i've heard good things about it, though...so, after i get a chance to play it, there's probably a decent chance it'll make it on the list. :)
i actually just picked that one up a week or two ago. i'll try to get some time to sit down and play it. i'm sure it'll definitely make the list if i'm as smitten with it as you are.
Oh my godness, this brings back a lot of memories! Pretty awesome list you got here! Tekken 3 is freaking awesome. Not to mention Crash and Spyro.. .etc.
The simple fact that Xenogears is number 43 proves how much people still didn't get a thing about gaming...
=\
Just because of low budget and bad voice acting, the most probable Best Game in Video Game History isn't getting the success it deserves.
If anyone finds a game with deeper story than that, tell me ^^

Uh...There's well over 1000 titles in the North American Playstation library. I'd say that 43 is a pretty good number. And the little note on the side says it's by my personal preference - in other words, not necessarily by overall quality. It proves how much people still don't read the descriptions of lists. :)
It's great that Xenogears is your favorite game, but acting like you're smarter than everyone else for liking a very good (but far from the best ever) game isn't going to get you anywhere. If you don't like this list, make your own. That's what this site is for. And if you do, feel free to link it here, 'cause I'd like to take a gander at it.

I've played quite a-many games in my time and I'm also thinking of making a list!
