I voted Jumping Flash, but honestly I only played the demo of it on one of those demo discs. Still, my friend and I played that one level quite a lot.

Yeah, that's where I first played it as well, it was on one of those PS magazine coverdiscs lol I bought it shortly after that, no regrets.

Yea that one came up in the early RPG rounds, its a little hard to classify and I'm happy to put it in the action section if we don't get enough other suggestions, otherwise I'll go into a wildcard round that I'm saving for anything popular that didn't make an earlier poll.

Get your suggestions in people!

Only played Tomba (Tombi in Europe) and Croc.

Tried replaying Croc recently, but hated the controls (music is great though), did the sequel have better controls?

A couple to add...
The Unholy War
Yoyo's Puzzle Park

Though Yoyo would probably have fit best in the platformer category

Own Jumping Flash and both Tomba games on PSN, and continue to look for a disc of Wild 9 without luck.

I think I played Croc. Might have been Gex though. It was a long time ago.

What about this one? https://www.gamefaqs.com/ps/198204-ninja-shadow-of-darkness

I forgot about it, but to be fair I only played a demo disc of it.

This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.

Jet Moto

Beat em up:
Fighting Force
Ninja:Shadow of Darkness

Shooter:
Einhander
Omega Boost

Is Tai-Fu in your action list? Or can that be a Beat 'em up?

Not sure if this counts, but I loved it as a kid: https://www.gamefaqs.com/ps/250628-star-wars-episode-i-jedi-power-battles

Those both look like decent additions, I'll add them to the beat em up list.

Yeah that's a favourite of mine, I've always imagined it's what Zone of the Enders would have been if they'd made it for PS1 lol

Tomba is essentially if Klonoa was an RPG of sorts. And impossible without a guide.

It wasn't that hard lol It's been a while but I remember just having to make sure you'd been everywhere when you get stuck. Not efficient but just a process of elimination.

I have played Tomba. *nods* Might still have the disc for it around here, too.

For the shooters category, I feel the urge to nominate G Darius.

Tecmo's Deception

Two games I always wanted to play but never got to. I know I played a demo of Tecmo's Deception III (I think it was 3?) and I played that game for a little bit but never got to play it extensively.

Hmm, that is tricky, it's probably more action than either imho but I see where you're coming from...
I forgot this was on PS1, I only ever played it on PC...I made a point of not calling the shooter category bullet hell for this reason so if we don't get any more suggestions, you're in lol
