Playstation 1 was definitely a dream console with an amazing list of titles. When I see a Playstation I think of Final Fantasy 7, Metal Gear Solid, Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot. I usually rotated between all of these games. Getting the demo discs in the mail was a fun experience because I never knew what games they held.
I didn't get a chance to play Resident Evil 1 until later when I tried it on a PSP and the 'tank' controls were certainly a product of their time. Still a fun game to play! The dogs jumping through the windows in a hallway always made me jump.
Thank you for sharing your overview and recollection of your favorite game on the Playstation 1!
Tank controls... haha.... that is a wonderful way of putting it. How many times did i get stuck in a corner while a very slow moving zombie was hot on my tail. Tomb Raider's controls were very similarly wonky.
All the games you talked about were absolutely epic and many of them are still good by today's standards.
