Joystiq [PlayStation]

Tomorrow, ladies and germs, you will be able to download some of your ol' time favorites via the Game Archives in the PlayStation Store -- and you will probably play them with a retrospective smile (of course, you've got to be in Japan for this). These titles are PSP-compatible, priced at a tax-inclusive 525 yen (that translates to not much at all in US dollars). What's available? List, go!

• Resident Evil Director's Cut (Capcom)
  
• Konami Antiques MSX Collection Vol.1 (Konami)
  
• Konami Antiques MSX Collection Vol.2 (Konami)
  
• Bishi Bashi Special (Konami)
  
• Arc the Lad (SCEJ)
  
• Jumping Flash! (SCEJ)
  
• Hot Shots Golf 2 (SCEJ)
  
• Silent Bomber (Bandai Namco Games)
  
• Tekken 2 (Bandai Namco Games)

Oh, my, gosh! Silent Bomber! I haven't played that game for a long, long time! Guys, if you take any recommendations from this site seriously, give that game a try. It's a lot of fun! Fast-paced action with a bit of bomb-tossing strategy. Resident Evil and Arc the Lad are also A-plus games. Not sure about the others, but Tekken is generally decent. Don't have a PSP, but still want these classics? You can either search through bargain bins like a rabid dog or you can wait until next year, when Sony plans to release an update allowing you to play, nay, emulate these games on your PS3 directly. If you do have a PSP, make sure you've got firmware 3.0! Also... international Game Archive news will surface shortly. If anyone grabs any of these titles, let us know!
