Must have 2D PS1 games

[Adam]

Suikoden + Suikoden 2. 2D RPG's at their best

[pulsion76]

anyways back to the topic so if theres any 2D shooters, RPGS, Adventures, platformers or anything else that is a little that are 2D please tell me

Growlancer (rpg, atlus) is a nice experience, plus it has spawned some nice sequels so if the system appeals to you there are a 2nd and a 3rd chapter on Ps2.
Someone else have already wrote it down but it's worth to point out again that Valkyrie Profile (rpg) would be a really nice choice. Amazing story, unusual yet deep combat system and an hell of a secret dungeon.

Anyone played Captain Commando?

Yes, and it's an excellent conversion. If you are into Final Fight, this is a must buy. With a multitap, you and two friends can play all three characters at once. No Saturn version either.

My own recommended purchases:

Harmful Park
Dodonpachi
Zanac X Zanac (Zanac Neo is excellent)
Night Raid
The Cameraman
Internal Section
Gunners Heaven

What, no love for Rapid Reload? Can anyone say "Gunstar Heroes 2"? Fantastic 2d game ... absolutely a travesty to miss this one.

But I have to say nay to the Bomberman ... of the many, many versions of Bomberman I have played, the PS1 version has to be by far the worst. Utter pap!! Get a Saturn. Get Saturn Bomberman. Then get the Bomberman Multitap, and the Bomberman pads. Then play Bomberman all day.

If, somehow, you ever get bored you can then get Duke Nukem 3D and play Death Tank Zwei as well, which is possibly the only simultaneous multiplayer game that out-does Bomberman.

My recommendation:

Panzer Bandit

Scrolling beat-em-up, similar to Guardian Heroes. Very good, but not AS good. Worth hunting down.
