Yeah I feel like you NEED to be an extreme car guy to appreciate them, I prefer more arcadey racing games.

Driver seems old hat now, but when it first came out that kind of open world driving game was still really special. It was a monster game in it's day.

It's solid. PS1 has such a huge amount of JRPGs and just hidden gems in general you could complain about missing any number of games but all the games there are fair inclusions to me.

And yes, Twisted Metal 2 should definitely be on the list. Game is hella fun. I would also have Parasite Eve on my list.

Also this. Personally I'd put FF 9 ahead of 7, but whatever it's their list, not mine.

EDIT: OH YEAH! No BoF 3 or 4 either? Shameful!

It seems almost pointless to even publish a list this generic.

Only things that even remotely stand out are MML2 being on it & Crash 2 being above Crash 3.

I wouldn't put Tony Hawk 2 for the PS1 in that list. It's a mess to play, the graphics are god awful, even worse than Final Fantasy 7, and compared to the PS2 version of the same game, it was laden with latency issues.

I would instead put Megaman X4 on the list, or Suikoden 2. As others have suggested, Xenogears is another option.
