It's been REALLY hard trying to get good screen grabs of these new fangled games. PSone titles are the hardest to find. I suppose the internet was slow back then, so everything is janky.

Until I can make my own, here's some grabs I found that do not entirely displease me.

Stuff I'm still looking for decent quality screens from:

  • PaRappa the Rapper
  • Chicken Run
  • Ridge Racer
  • Wipeout
  • Crash Bandicoot
  • Jumping Flash
  • Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
  • Jack and Daxter 1
  • Devil May Cry

How this one didn't make a big impact, I'm not sure. It's a gorgeous game. I never got very far, but I enjoyed my visit.

Ratchet and Clank 2
I didn't really care for the first one, too much ramp-up and cutscenes. Insomniac Games rectified the situation in the sequel however. Weapon upgrades were never this fun. A+ Platformer.

Rez
We need more games like this. It's easy to pick up. Mesmerizing and addictive.

Metal Gear Solid 2?
The hype was dead on, and for the time, the graphics were top notch. So many me-too stealth games have emerged since, it's easy to forget the innovation.

OddWorld: Abe's Oddysee
Sorry Xbox, can't stand the 3D extension of this franchise. Screen by screen puzzle solving with imaginative transitions/animations. A little like Lemmings, with funky creepy style.

Heart of Darkness
Another one that slipped under the radar, but made a great platformer. The shadow monsters were particularly well rendered.

Asteroids
Remakes CAN work.

Ape Escape
Graphically sorta boring, but I remember this as the first game to successfully use both analog sticks on the dual-shock controller. That made it neat.

Diablo
Essentially Gauntlet Plus

Dark Alliance: Baldur's Gate
Essentially Diablo Plus

SkullMonkeys
Claymation sprites and potty humor.

Spy Hunter
Another remake that was fun. For 3 hours.

Klonoa 2
Cell Shaded side scrolling platformer with 3D rendered backgrounds. And easy. It's nice when they throw you a bone now and then.
 
     
   

The other areas are more flushed out:
