Continuing with the theme of '20 years of Playstation', what were your favourite games aside from all the more popular, mainstream ones (like Final Fantasy, Spyro, GTA etc).
A few of my favourites were:
Muppet Racemania
Micro Maniacs
Theme Park World
Digimon World
Hogs of War
Deathtrap Dungeon
Muppet Racemania would have been perfect but was just let down by its multiplayer mode which only allowed for 1 v 1.
Micro Maniacs was, in my opinion, the best Micro racing game. Again though, like with the other Micro games, the multiplayer didn't allow for individual screens for each competitor.
Digimon World was an absolute peach of a game and whilst the Pokemon games were getting all the attention on Nintendo, Digimon was a far better game. The game wasn't that much like Pokemon but because the brands were sort of in competition there was always going to be comparisons. DW was excellent though!
PS1 - Hidden gems

MGS is one of my favourite games of all time.
Tried to play it again last year on an old PS1 from my mums garage, and forgot just how horrific the graphics were though. Basically played it using only the mini-map.

Silent Bomber. Fast, frantic arcade style action.
The story goes a bit weird toward the end when you're fighting on a giant chess board in space but a really good fun, game.

MGS was brilliant on the PS1. Shame the sequels have been such a let down in comparison.
Tenchu was great. A stealthy ninja game.
Matrix:Path of Neo on the PS2 was great fun.
In fact for sheer playability the PS1 and PS2 had by far the better games I think.

Loved Die Hard Trilogy, for me the 3rd part was the most fun even though I enjoyed the game as a whole.

All a bit mainstream, but..
Colin Macrae 2 (the cheats took it to another level of fun)
Tony Hawks 2 + Matt Hoffmans Pro BMX
FIFA 95 (was actually horrendous but you could play indoor)
MK3
Doom
Tekken 2
Medal of Honour 1+2
Gran Turismo 1+2
Silent Hill
Wasted so much of my childhood enjoying those games, pretty sure they were all ps1 but some may have been ps2?
