Triverse writes, Fans of the venerable arcade fighting game series, Samurai Shodown, probably already know about the role-playing game (RPG) spin-off from the 90’s. That game is now available in English for the Neo Geo CD-ROM for the first time (I think it is the first time). Samurai Shodown RPG was also released on the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn around the same time, both inferior to the Neo Geo CD version in various ways (mostly animation)."

The first PlayStation is home to an array of iconic video games that went on to define the sheer significance of this console.
I think from a historical perspective I would change Spyro for Grand Turismo. It's the franchise that made the PS1 look like an absolute unit. Other than that, I can't argue with the rest when it comes to games that defined the PS1.
And to be honest, there should be space for Tekken 3, Wipepout and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in order to round out the PS1 identity as the machine to own at the time.
With Tomb Raider 2, Silent Hill, Symphony of the Night, Tenchu, and Soul Reaver as backup contenders.
Awesome to hear Aaron retranslate on a different platform.
I didn't know this game even existed, but a turn based RPG of Samurai Showdown sounds lit!
