Any game released for the PlayStation was considered eligible for this list.That is why games like Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Solid, and Gran Turismo are not on this list. While this list includes some games that were successful in their day, I excluded obvious examples of innovative games that were widely appreciated upon their release.For the most part, though, I tried to focus on games that featured some kind of technological or mechanical innovation that wouldn’t become standard (or appreciated) until after that game’s release. The phrase “ahead of its time” is obviously somewhat subjective.While its status as such is a testament to its technological innovations and library of great games, it also speaks to the many PS1 games that somehow feel more relevant now than they ever have before.īefore we talk about those games, though, here are a few rules/selection criteria to keep in mind:
That approach led to a lot of big swings and big misses, but it also resulted in a shocking number of games that were truly ahead of their time.Īctually, the PS1 may just be the ‘90s console that ended up having the biggest impact on the future of the industry. Yes, it was an incredibly successful console, but it was also a console designed and supported by a lot of people who were trying to figure things out as they went along. I know that this is going to sound strange, but I sometimes feel like the Sony PlayStation doesn’t get enough love.
