And plus, the Dreamcast has a pretty good version of GTA2 that I picked up (and wouldn't have known about had it not been for a heads-up from the man himself, BrianB!)
I'm actually playing it more than GTA3!
They just released the Spiro the Dragon trilogy in a boxed set that retails for about $40. I never had a chance to play this before, and it's pure action/adventure platform exploration at its finest! The RPGs on the PSX are amazing and varied.
The PSX's best action/adventure title is arguably Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and while I am lucky to have this, I think the powers that be are insane for not re-pressing this title (they even stopped printing the Greatest Hits version of the game).
My favorite platformers, however, aside from the requisite Mario 64, were Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie. Kazooie is the better game IMO, but they're both worth a look and testament to Rare's ambition as a developer.
The DC also has some strange titles, like the PC port of Omnikron: The Nomad Soul with music and dialogue by David Bowie. The game is far from perfect, but for $4.99, it's a bargain. Also, E.G.G is another strange game. a top-down, hand-drawn 2D adventure title with some stunning aesthetic touches (and problematic gameplay, but still fun).
The Power Stone series is multi-player genius, hands-down. I can't think of another multi-player game in recent memory (aside from Bomberman Online for the DC) that was so much fun to play with 4 people at once.
The DC version of Alone in the Dark: The New Nighmare by Infogrames, despite borrowing many elements from RE series, has some stunning lighting effects.
But all this is small change compared to what is perhaps the greatest title of the last ten years, a virtoso title with amazing gameplay and a breathtaking plot..
