Sorry, "Thenewguy", but the best tennis games not released in the US are the Wai Wai Tennis games...
They look and play much better. Pure fun.

Terracon was a nice 3rd person shooter with Action/Adventure elements and a catchy soundtrack. As for Discworld Noir it's a classic, and really good, Adventure game. The Discworld series is very famous, at least here in Europe, I didn’t know that Noir was a PAL release only.Quote:

Damn, that's right. I hadn't seen a Discworld in ages--I would've sworn the original was a Sega CD game.
@OP = Khamrai. 3x3 Eyes. (ad infinitum).
I posted Special Edition, not shitty Wipeout 3Quote:

I think it had more multiplayer features as well but am not sure.
Will the Japan NTSC and EU PAL PSX games play on unmodded USA NTSC systems?
You need a mod chip for that
Even for the Japanese NTSC ones?Quote:

In case you're wondering, Japanese displays fully on US PS1 and 2 memory cards, contrary to the garbled glyphs that appear on a US VMU.Quote:

The Playstation ushered-in a mind boggling variety of games and who can say how many great games failed to be released outside of Japan?
Simple 1500 Vol.66: The Kaiten Sushi came to mind, I don't know much about it but came to know of it when reading about G-Rev as they reportedly developed one (or a few) of the Taito mini games in this arcade port.
Quote:
Excellent mini-game collection
The Kaiten is a collection of 20 Taito mini-games that relate to spinning. You use the Dual Shock sticks to complete the various wacky tasks in the game. Some of the levels are designed after classic Taito games like Arkanoid and Cameltry. Others require you to do such things as serve correct kinds of sushi to waiting customers, carry a drunken co-worker safely to the train station, make snowcones, and crush a giant robot. This game is great with a group of friends, and 2 people can play at once. Some of the mini-games are very difficult so it'll take some practice to complete them. All in all, well worth the price and sure to generate some laughs.
I think the reason people don't talk about PS1 imports as much is because unlike the Saturn, it's minutely harder to play imports on a PS1/PS2 and emulation of disc-based system seems scary (though ironically, PS1 emulation feels far more stable than Saturn emulation). But without a "so dumb I could do it!" method of bypassing the region lock (e.g. the Saturn's Action Replay cart), a lot of games are not as talked about. However, that doesn't mean the games haven't been spared picking from collectors and gougers. Which is why emulation is the way to go, baby.
The games that came to mind when I saw this thread were the Wizardry remakes: Wizardry: The Llylgamyn Saga (Wizardry 1-3) and Wizardry: New Age of Llylgamyn (Wizardry 4, 4-arrange, and 5). They are the best versions of the games, and with some flipping of the options, 99% in English - I'm glad the Japanese love Wizardry so much that they were willing to keep the original English text - along with the wireframe graphics and old monster sprites for funsies - around on top of nice features like auto-mapping and whatnot.
