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:

Apparently he just reused this soundtrack for Man With A Movie Camera, which is some kinda Netflix silent film?

uh, if that doesn't work, here's a link enemy zero soundtrack track 5 (which just so happens to be called Enemy Zero)

which is some kinda Netflix silent film?

lol i am stupid

Oh! Am I able to add some? Is Dreamcast not allowed?

OK HEEEERE WE GOOOOOOO

Was going to add...

Dreamcast:
Shenmue
Shenmue II
Skies of Arcadia
Crazy Taxi
Soulcaliber

GBC:
Pokémon Gold & Silver

Sorry for not spotting sooner...if write-ins are accepted I'll still be voting for Shenmue.

Dreamcast is Gen 6 iirc

yah deramcast is for the next poll in uhh... hopefully 2021 or 2022? but by my current pace like 2025 lol

Aaah sorry, haha np. Will probably still rep for Gold & Silver though! Those were Color-specific.

gold & silver are good ones that we completely forgot! feel free to write it in everyone!

fuck, i forgot to nominate Enemy Zero. i won't be voting for it and i suppose neither is anyon e else so nbd

well ill add it for posterity :D

All for PS1:

LSD: Dream Emulator
The Silver Case
Mega Man Legends 1 and 2
Breath of Fire IV
Tales of Destiny
Star Ocean the Second Story
Valkyrie Profile
Parasite Eve II
Ghost in the Shell
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

I'd nominate the console ports of Diablo and Civ II if they're allowed for this too.

added those too!

went back and found a grip of titles i missed (thanks abanana!) so it shoooould be complete now? unless there's another chunk of the thread i also missed. lmk if something else isn't there!

oh i missed diablo and civ ii. my question is, would you be voting for them because you enjoyed them so much on the ps1 or because you wanna vbote for the pc games but nobody has made a pc games poll yet?

be honest

I played Civ 2 a lot on the PS tbh, not sure if I could meaningfully separate it from the PC

i put em in! good enough for me. ps1 is also how i played diablo haha

Thanks Will. And yes I nominated them for this because my personal formative experiences with those games and the overwhelming majority of playtime did come on their console versions as opposed to on PC.
