Ever since I got a PS2 in November, I've been on a mad rush to get a slew of PS2 games that have been labeled classic or damn entertaining. Since I can also play PSX games now, I need some recommendations.
So far, I've been trying to lay my hands on some Capcom fighting games like Rival Schools, some off-beat games like Gundam Battle Assault, and a futile pursuit to get both FF Chronicles and Anthology so I can relive my old SNES days. So, can anybody throw me some fighting/RPG games from the olden days?

You mean another one? ;) I got one back when a PS2 cost around $300. And I still have it...and let me tell you, it's worth it to dig out a DC version of Capcom vs SNK 1 for it instead of that bastardized version that was forced onto the PSX. Of course, if you got any recommendations for DC games and a place to buy them, I'm all ears. Go nuts.
Anyway, back to PSX games....

Get:
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Good luck finding it)
Final Fantasy Origins (FF1 and FF2? w00t)
Don't get:
Strider 2 (I swear to God it's so easy a blind man can beat it)

I'm not sure if you have this or not but get Soul Calibur. It's the greatest 3D fighter ever made :love.
As far as PSX goes, Threads Of Fate, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Parasite Eve (well...I liked it at least :/) are all over looked, yet good titles :)

Soul Calibur? Of COURSE I got that! I sacrificed a DC version of Marvel vs Capcom 2 for it and I've never regretted it. Is Namco stiill planning to completely shaft a PS2 version of Calibur 2 or are they going to come to their senses soon?

Dunno :(. I myself am getting the Xbox version because gamecube isn't really the best system to buy a fighter for and the PS2 version of anything isn't always the best choice (loading times, graphics, etc.). Besides, if I want to play as Link in a fighter, I'll go rent SSB:melee again.

Is threads of fate the one where you can play a guy or a girl and they've got different abilities or something? I vaguely remember something like that.

Yup :). The guy could turn into enemies you've killed, and the girl used magic according to some sort of pendants. That game was so damned fun. I wish I still had it :tear.

Yeah, I wanted to get a psx like 10x more because of how good that game looked. I never did play it though :(

KOF99. You must own it. You HAVE to. Castlevania Chronicles is also good, as well as Tenchu, Project Overkill, and Armored Core. Fort more nostalgia, Mega Man 8.

I use to have mega man8 :). fun game

The PSX port for Mega Man 8 must be better than the SNES version. For some reason Mega was three times bigger than his NES or X versions and was blocky as fuck. Speaking of which, what's the consensus on X5 and X6?

Megamanx5 and 6 sucked ass. X4 was fun though.

I've heard that's the same thing as megaman 64. If so, it's way too easy but very, very fun.

I hated Legends so much, it's not even funny. Mainly because ig ot stuck in town when Tron Bonne was supposed to show up. And yes, x5 sucked major ass.

Hrm, I'd recommend any of the following for the PSX:
-Loaded (not the Re-Loaded sequel)
-Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night
-Bushido Blade (I always loved playing it against friends for hours)
-Battle Arena Toshinden 1 or 3
-Star Wars Masters of Teras Kasi
-Worms Armageddon
-Resident Evil 2 and 3
-Metal Gear Solid
and.....
-Skeleton Warriors ;):lol

My friend had Reloaded for the PC way back in 1998 or such. That's the one with the bounty hunters, right?

Get Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Its not really hard to find. This store Bj's sells it for 10 bucks brand new. Also I would get FF7, NOT SHITTY ASS 8. I would also buy Hello Kitty Pinball. If you have enough time get Kiss Pinball and Power Ranger's pinball. THIS IS A GODDAMN JOKE. Except Castlevania and FF7.
