Forum:
I would like to discuss stranger titles for the PS1.
For example, one of my favorite games of all time has to be "LSD: Dream Emulator"
Basically what people would call a "walking simulator" these days but it's all about exploring dream-like locations where touching anything "links" you to a different location.
If you've never heard of it before I urge you to try it out! I'd also love to hear what weird games other people know of!

i've got a few to recommend:
- Tail of the Sun - weird lifesim/rpg hybrid where you play as a caveman and your objective is to build a tower of mammoth tusks to reach the sun
- Germs: Nerawareta Machi - first person survival-horror set in an open world city. you play as a news reporter and you have to investigate rumors of mutants transforming the town's residents
- Kyuutenkai: Fantastic Pinball - rpg/fantasy themed video pinball game. tbh i'm adding this here because its a personal favorite of mine lol
- KoroKoro Post Nin - cute anime platformer where you rotate the area clockwise or counter-clockwise to guide your character to the exit. think of the bonus stage from sonic the hedgehog 1. kinda.
- PuLiRuLa - very surreal side-scrolling beat em up. i will let the video talk for itself

All of those look really interesting! I especially gotta try out that open world game and that pinball game. Funnily enough the only one I had heard of before was PuLiRuLa as beat 'em ups are a genre I'm obsessed with.

Kero Kero King - The predecessor of Ribbit King also known as FROLF. Its like golf with frogs but instead of getting the least amount of points like in a regular game of golf you have to score the most amount of points by interacting with objects scattered around the map within a limited number of turns. Its a lot of fun and has a great art style which is sadly missing in its sequel.
The Misadventures of Tron Bonne - This one isn't too obscure but I don't think many people know of this one despite it being in the Mega Man Legends series. Between Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 Capcom released this game, a prequel spin off about the character Tron Bonne and her Servbots and any game with a focus on Servbots is automatically a 10/10. It has the same proto cel shading look that the regular Mega Man Legends game has and still holds up so well visually.
Baroque - While this game isn't exclusive to PS1 as it also got a Saturn release I feel its still worth bringing attention to. Its an early roguelike where you continuously climb a tower and each run unlock more parts of the story. It has a great oppressing atmosphere with everything being rusty and dilapidated and really cool enemy design.
Skullmonkeys - This is a sequel to the point and click game The Neverhood. However, this game is a (sort of frustrating) 2D platformer and like its predecessor it is animated entirely with clay.

I'm very familiar with Tron Bonne. I had a copy of it back in the day. Sadly not anymore ;w;
I didn't know Ribbit King had a PS1 game! That's very interesting!
Those other two I've never heard of before but they look right up my alley!
