    Hi

    Have finally secured a NTSC PS1 to play Chrono Cross and Persona 1 and 2

    Any recommendations for other titles not available on PAL format for the PS1???

    Every single game that's in 60hz rather than 50hz :D

    Einhander. A game I have yet to play.

    Parasite Eve 1. Another game I have yet to play.

    Where to start?

    Silhouette Mirage
    Tail Concerto
    Megaman Legends (might be PAL)
    Misadventures of Tron Bonne
    Little Ralph
    Tobal No. 1
    Internal Section
    Gradius Gaiden
    Harmful Park
    Einhander
    Zanac X Zanac
    Tactics Ogre (perhaps wait for the PSP remake with better balancing)
    Final Fantasy Tactics
    Xenogears
    Lunar: Silver Star Story
    Lunar 2: Eternal Blue
    Tales of Destiny
    Tales of Eternia
    Dragon Warrior VII
    Valkyrie Profile
    Devil Dice
    No one can stop Mr. Domino
    You'll have an easier time getting Suikoden 2 although the PAL version is better (for once)
    Star Ocean 2 got a PAL release but it's rare as hens teeth
    Incredible Crisis
    Strider 2

    Some of those probably got PAL releases and it's not a comprehensive list. Might be better off asking for excellent PS1 games you never heard of because there's plenty of those.

    Devil Dice had a PAL release alright. I can confirm that as I own a nice shiny copy.

    Not the best port in the world though! But in the absence of a Saturn, it'll do! :D

    Zanac X Zanac

    One of the best shooters EVER. Expensive though...

    Have to agree that the saturn version of Silhuoette Mirage is way better. Working Designs really messed up by increasing the difficulty of the PS1 version.

    You seriously have to sort that out, it's an amazing game.

    Army Men 3d, or any of that series, pure genius, although a little expensive and non-absorbent for beer mats it has to be said!

    Yep, so I heard. I just got a new xbox the other day which I haven't modded yet. I just remembered you can use it as a ps1 emulator. I'll be modding that again to play imports.

    Wasn't there at least one Army Men 3d game released in the PAL region? Could have sworn I've played it before. A demo maybe?

    Don't be surprised if the PS1 emulation is piss poor.

    Word of warning, FFTactics is probably one of the hardest games I've ever beaten.

    It's quite good, story is interesting too. Based on a Japanese horror story I think.
