Title: Great PS1 Games?
Post by: geomartin on July 30, 2007, 12:57:49 am: I just scored my first ever Sony game console. Saw a PS One with the add on lcd screen for $5.00 at a garage sale and couldn't resist. I just need a small list of must have games to get started on my collection. When I saw it my first thoughts went to the PS portable on Ben Hecks sight. I may do something in that vein with it.

Thanks in advance for the great suggestions to come :)

Not that graphics matter for classic games. This thread is kind of pointless though, since there is already a sticky.

My main interest in this is converting it into a battery powered portable. I will look at the sticky as suggested. I picked up ProPinball Incredible Journey and Timeshock for it today at a local used game store, $.99 each. The game play is pretty good.

It came with my first VooDoo card back in the Win/95 days. I noticed so many of these converted to handhelds, is anyone interested in seeing my progress on this? I plan on a slightly different approach, machining from Aluminum plate followed by hard anodize coating. My access to 3 axis CNC milling machines could make this pretty interesting.
