PS1 Forgotten little gems and HD PVR help
Discussion
My dad was doing a bit of late spring cleaning and found a box of old PS1 games. I forgot how many forgotten gems the console had through the years.
What was your favourite forgotten title, excluding the usual list of big names.
I've also got a Hauppage HD PVR but have lost the disc and have had no success in setting it up again so any Wizards about who could help with this, and a decent / cheap gaming monitor that would much appreciated.

Anyone remember G-Police? I wasn't very good at it but a friend was and it was a fantastic game.
Yes, a very good game for it's day. The way the city drew itself out in green wire-frame blocks as you approached looked very cool, and was a clever way of working around the PS1's low draw distance ability.Speaking of the PS1, let us not forget Crash Bandicoot. Incredible gaming.

Ape Escape. I loved the fact that it used the dual analogue sticks for a real purpose, and who wouldn't fall for a game which involves catching escaped monkeys in a net. Brilliant. Not sure how forgotten it was, but I don't know anyone else who bought it at the time.
Exactly the sort of fantastic, unpretentious game you could fall in love with. It was very good! Tenchu and Tenchu 2 were also incredible. And don't forget Vagrant Story.dibbers006 said:
Oh fk yes! The memories...
Did you ever access the developer code? Some high class cheating could be had with access to unlimited weapons and all the awesome moves.
You could play as a rat then which was always funny!
I had one of those game Xploder things that could open the test menu, which was a developer menu that allowed the spawning of all the game items, spawning enemies and NPCS (and you could set their patrol routes, behaviour - so you could make enemies non-violent, they wouldn't react to your presence and you could practice executions etc) and all sorts of other cool things. You could change the music on any level, and other stuff I can't remember now.Did you ever access the developer code?

Ape Escape, what a game, amazing.
Also, how could I forget Hogs of War! Like Worms but in 3D (before Worms 3D), with pigs, WWII styling, Rik Mayall and lashings of un-PC humour.

I loved G-PoliceGT2 has got to get a look in and I remember V-Rally being good fun.
I lost more hours than I care to think about playing Worms with my mates and then we have Tomb Raider.

You could access the debug menu in Tenchu using a cheap code, couldn't you? And then when you pressed the back button, it would pop up on the screen allowing you to manipulate the game. I really enjoyed using it to turn the music off, it made for a very dark atmosphere in the game. Incredible games, Tenchu and Tench 2.Ape Escape, what a game, amazing.

Tell you what I loved, Deathtrap Dungeon!
Probably one of my favourite games of all time. I loved the cheats that let you play as an enemy too.
The sequel wasn't quite as good, but it was still a great game. It was very, very dark and heavily influenced by HP Lovecraft.
