Who remembers these classic PS1 games?

Don't forget Resident Evil/Biohazard. It popularized Survival horror, I don't recall any critically acclaimed games before it.

It was by Konami? I thought it was a SCEA title. Either way, it was one of my favorites. Aside from that, I was also fond of Tekken 3, Crash 2 and Warped, Spyro, Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey, Tomba 1 and 2, and Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. Though the Genesis was my first system, I identify more with the ps1, because I was actually old enough to be able to get more out of it(I was about 8 when I got my ps1). I fondly remember the system, and it's a big part of why I'm still a big Sony fan to this day.

Actually, it was developed by Behaviour Interactive. I think Konami was the publisher. Anyway, I looked up and I saw that SCEA is mentioned as the publisher. Since I had the Japanese version of the game (it came with my PS One: long story short, software piracy is very common in Brazil and there are places where you can buy smuggled consoles for lower prices with 10-20 bootlegged games in the box), I suspect Konami published the Japanese version while SCEA published the AMerican one.

Anyway, that game had one of the best soundtracks I have listened to. I have been looking for it forever (my bootlegged CD had all of the songs available to listen in a CD player, but it does not work anymore and I could not salvage the songs to convert to MP3), but anything related to Jersey Devil is rare nowadays.

Well, you could argue some of the very atmospheric horror adventure games did it first, things like Clock Tower or Alone in the Dark were around before the first Resident Evil game. RE obviously hit it big, but really not until around RE4 did it become hugely mainstream, this is probably because RE4 was the big turning point where the game became more about shooting/action/QTEs rather than puzzles, survival and inventory management.

And you can go back to the 80s to find many horrifying text adventures which, frankly, when you use your imagination, are some of the scariest things ever.
