Classic Game Room reviews the Japanese Sony Playstation 2 model PS2 SCPH-90000. If you want to play games like Thunder Force 6 and Front Mission 5 you need a machine that can play them, and American PS2’s just won’t do the trick. You really only have 2 options, modifications or importing a Japanese PS2. CGR decided to purchase a new Japanese region NTSC 100v PS2 from Play-asia.com with a heaping jar of pocket change and play Thunder Force VI like it’s our job (it is). There are tons of import titles available only in Japan for the Playstation 1 and PS2. For some reason (money) these game companies make certain genres region locked or encoded and contain them to market specific parts of the world. They assume that Americans don’t want to play Japanese SHMUPS like TF6 or Macross Plus or strategy games like Front Mission 2 and FM5. They thought wrong! We do want to play these games and although not cheap, it’s not like you have to cut your arm off either. Importing a Japanese region NTSC Playstation 2 has never been easier or less expensive. This SCPH-90000 works on American AC power and plays games just like a US PS2. You can even set the system menus to English, and most games seem to have English menus anyway. Works with American PS2 memory cars. This review shows the differences between a Japanese PS2 and an American PS2 and how they stack up side by side. Only on CLASSIC GAME ROOM will you find such authoritative video game equipment and hardware reviews, including import gaming systems. Why learn how to modify or mod your American PS2 when there are other options that save time and money in the long run? Play import shooters and SHMUPS with ease with this Japan only PS2. Does not play PS3 games.

Classic Game Room HD reviews BUSHIDO BLADE for Playstation 1 PS1 video game console. Bushido Blade was released in 1997 and was instantly one of my favorite fighting games ever made. Choose from a small selection of characters and an awesome variety of weapons to stab, slash, hack or mash your opponents with. Bushido Blade was respected yet never really achieved popular mass market appeal, games like DOA, Tekken and Samurai Shodown were far more popular… yet Bushido Blade has something they don’t. Maybe it’s the lack of a health bar, maybe the weapons based combat or maybe it’s just the style. This CGRHD review of Bushido Blade has gameplay footage from PS1 showing Bushido Blade being played in vs. mode and in POV (point of view) mode. You could even link two PS1 consoles together and play a friend in POV combat. The storyline is fun, but 2 player vs. combat is what this game is made for. Get 1 second kills or strech the game out all afternoon. Use button combos and three stances to wield an amazing variety of attacks with which to eliminate your enemy. Bushido Blade was developed by Lightweight and published by Squaresoft in 1997. The PS1 game disk can be found relatively easily, although not as cheaply as some other games for Playstation 1. They made a sequel, Bushido Blade 2, but I want an all-new Bushido Blade for PS3 or Xbox 360 with multiplayer. This is one of the finest fighting games ever made, a true departure from the norm and a worthwhile addition to any video gamer collection. Master the samurai style with the action packed Bushido Blade on PS1.

This is part one of a new PS1 games montage (Don’t forget to watch part 2 as well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2eWh2HgIEM&feature=response_watch ). This is footage of PS1 games as played on a PS2 with texture smoothing on (wherever applicable) to give the games the best visual presentation possible. All of these games are from my own personal collection with the exception of Spyro 2 and Xenogears which I used demos to get footage of, because the fans of both would complain if I did not represent those games.

Consider this as a revising of my old and dated 100 PS1 games vid. I lost the original footage of that vid when a hard drive crapped out on me, and I uploaded it when youtube had stricter restrictions on video size, so I had to upload it in a degraded quality.

I’ve decided to revisit my original 100 PS1 games vid, and add more games, and a lot better quality. Also, you’ll notice that I now have the names of each game up for you.

The vid ended up being too long for Youtube’s length restriction, so I had to split it up to make it fit.

Also, consider every game in a series shown to represent that particular series with the exception of Final Fantasy, and a few others. I wanted to keep the repetition down.

Note: I just realized that I mislabeled Final Fantasy Chronicles (Chrono Trigger) as Final Fantasy Anthology. Nobody’s perfect I guess, so take note that Chrono Trigger is indeed on Final Fantasy Chronicles, and not anthology.

“Bubsy 3D: Furbitten Planet” is the worst Playstation game ever made and possibly the worst platformer ever made. Prove me wrong kids, PROVE ME WRONG.

A game of this level of failure deserves an in-depth review, this review covers every level of the game, literally.
