The answer to my own question, which I should have either checked or remembered, is that Sony rebranded the PlayStation as the PSone in 200, and it didn't cease production until 2006.

yesssss to ledge bringing the first-generation rhythm games to the front. i would have totally forgotten to nominate Bust-A-Groove but that soundtrack was a BLAST, perfect "rental" game for this generation.i know this period WAY less than the preceding one, but it did have a smattering of games i played the hell out of. most have already been nommed! a few overlooked N64 titles:
TetrisphereSuper Smash BrothersThe Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 5 October 2020 13:56 (three years ago) link
There was some bust-a-groove soundtrack chat here:
Laugh and Peace - Vib-Ribbon OST
I could be wrong (my memory is terrible) but I think I played all those rhythm games on a PS2 thanks to backwards compatability.
― neith moon (ledge), Monday, 5 October 2020 14:06 (three years ago) link
I still have my PS1 rhythm games and am endlessly haunted by the fact that PS1 discs have just a tiny bit of lag on the PS3, thereby rendering all rhythm games essentially unplayable.

I should have not included the years, and you can ignore them -- they mark from the beginning to the end of production of the consoles. If it's on a later-gen or earlier-gen console, you can ignore it!

maybe nom list plus option for write-ins? and people can campaign in the voting thread. i feel like i'd be more likely to miss a great game with a comprehensive list, as my eyes glaze over scrolling past all the dross.

since Cruis'n USA (lol at the title formatting) is in, let me nom the other N64 racing game that my brother owned and which we therefore played the shit out of, even if I'm not sure either one was very good:
N64San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 9 October 2020 17:59 (three years ago) link
also someone should probably nom the Star Wars pod racing game, that was a big deal right? but it won't be me cause i never played it.

N64Star Wars Episode I: RacerStar Wars: Rogue Squadron
― jmm, Friday, 9 October 2020 18:13 (three years ago) link
This is simultaneously the most nostalgic era for me and an absolute motherlode of the jankiest games ever.
― jmm, Friday, 9 October 2020 18:14 (three years ago) link
SF Rush! Forgot about that one. Good stuff.
― DJI, Friday, 9 October 2020 18:14 (three years ago) link
this era has the largest gap between how these games looked in my head, and how they look when i pull up YouTube clips. i know we're tired of talking about low-res textures and elementary polygons, but MAN a lot of these games took place in a bleak, lifeless-feeling universe... combined often with unnatural "bonking into corners" control schemes struggling to catch up to Mario 64's effortless 3D movement. the graphics thing i think is at least partially explainable by these games being meant for the visual 'smudging' of a CRT screen.
in that spirit i hereby nominate a Mega Man game that i played more than it may have deserved, because it was bright and colorful in an era of faded mud:
PS1Mega Man 8
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 9 October 2020 18:37 (three years ago) link
sorry to return to this, haha, but i think the reason the nominations process for any poll bugs me is because i end up going to the giant comprehensive list to figure out what to nominate, anyway, because i know i'll forget some that i would have voted for
― president of my cat (Karl Malone), Friday, 9 October 2020 18:44 (three years ago) link
for example,
PS1Dragon Quest VII
― president of my cat (Karl Malone), Friday, 9 October 2020 18:46 (three years ago) link
I've been looking thru comprehensive lists too, doing one at a time kinda thing (saturn is next), as much as I'd be down to just use those lists, i think the nom process makes it easier to separate the wheat from the chaff. i am totally ok with write-ins if sometihng is forgotten too, and if someone flags it in the voting post, i can just add it to the nominations!
― TRANCED INTO RADIOACTIVE PUREE (Will M.), Friday, 9 October 2020 21:46 (three years ago) link
sounds good, thanks! tbh i think we'll cover almost everything that's good, not sure why i'm being nitpicky
― president of my cat (Karl Malone), Friday, 9 October 2020 22:39 (three years ago) link
probably not going to be able to put together a ballot as i am too young to have really spent much time with many games from this era and i haven't really rated that many of them that much. the top 2 for me is easily majora's mask and metal gear solid though, they really tower above everything else
may as well nominate a few i actually did play at the time though. i tried going back to rayman years later and it was baffling difficult and not particularly great. i have fond memories of the spyro games from when i was 5 but haven't touched them since
PS1Spyro: Year of the DragonSpyro 2: Ripto's RageRayman

Also: while exploring the internet for fun gen5 stuff, I came across the soundtrack for a video game called Enemy Zero (game by the same guy who did the game D, Kenji Eno; soundtrack by Michael Nyman), and holy smokes it is a good soundtrack. Here is one of the songs:
