We've got plenty of original content coming out on PSN over the next few months but I'd also like to see some classic content.

Psycho Pinball

Psycho Pinball is a 1994 pinball video game published and developed by Codemasters, released for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and DOS personal computers.

There are four differently themed tables; Wild West (American Old West), Trick or Treat (Halloween), The Abyss (Caribbean underwater), and finally Psycho (an amusement park). While the first three are regular tables, Psycho broke new ground; it is connected to the others by activating certain jumpers, then launching the ball into one of the tents, and the ball continues in the other table, returning to drop from the tent in Psycho when it drains. It is also the only one with a spring ball launcher and no multiball (presumably because of the potential for one of the balls to transition between tables).

Wild West is an open table with few obstacles; this makes it very difficult to make high scores, unlike Trick or Treat, which is a much more enclosed table, but with more ramp multipliers. The Abyss is the only one with two levels of play, and the multiball is usually reduced to 2 balls. To activate the multiball, the player has to trap a ball in one of the "vents" holes, and then knock it out of its trajectory when it is being thrown from one hole to another. It is possible, although difficult, to trap additional balls in the vents and eventually have more balls in the multiball.

This is by far and above one of the greatest 16-Bit games that I've ever played, and I would LOVE to see it on PSN with added multiplayer features. :)

It's obscure as, but it's a top down shooter developed by Eurocom. It's like Loaded only much better.

Don't have any screenshots as google has let me down, have to take them with my camera when it arrives.

It's fab....

Eurocom don't make games as good as this anymore, last one they made was PoTC AtWe I think. Phil can rescue Eurocom from film license hell and get them to make a rocking PS Net shooter.

It's fab. Think of a multi levelled top down shooter on a planet with spider like machine bugs. Now think of it with top notch PS1 graphics, multi coloured lighting effects, stuff like that... On the subject of spiders, I'd also like..... (See next message).

I can't find any pictures of it that look the way I remember it but this is Spider the Game for PS1. You're a robotic spider hanging off drainpipes fighting your way through platform like levels. It's very original stuff. Make a great PS Net game.

I may have a demo of this somewhere, may dig it out tonight.

My Favorites list:

MGS
RE 1 (directors cut) , 2 (the best). and 3 (just because...)
Tomb Raider 2

That's about it. I wasn't a fan of much else aside from those and GT.

I wouldn't mind seeing some classic PS2 games though. As well as some really old 8 bit games too.

Oh, I too have the demo of it upstairs but can't remember what it looks like. I'll have to have a look.

I don't care much about downloadable classics as long as they give me IQ (PSX).

MGS
FF
Gran Turismo
Twisted Metal

I have a hunch that Sony has not released a lot of clasics because they have a better way of doing it coming and they want to make the launch of that service a big sales point for both PSP, and PS3. I think we will see this with the movie and music service around September to November. I think it will allow for sorting by developer and publisher, so it will be easyer to search and a lot easyer for the casual crowd. I hope they open up the XMB a little once this happens, because I don't want to have to scoll through all of the PSone and PSN games together. I hope they will have like Demos, PSN games, PSone Games, and PSP games folders.

Chrono Cross
Final Fantasy Vll
Legend of Dragoon

Yep all RPG's. However, unlike Racers/Fighters/Shooters/Action games, RPG's pass the test of time. Because the gameplay isn't focused on graphics or sometimes even gameplay, it's those features that progress the amazing story and emotions these games evoke.

Classic is defined by great storytelling...
