ESRB lists a slew of new PS1 classics for PSN

by Majed Athab { May 29th 2009 at 6:15PM }

The ESRB has revealed a list of games that could appear on the PSN soon. All six games (as detailed in the image above) are PS1 titles that have yet to appear on the PlayStation Store.

Are these the games Sony's John Koller was talking about when he said PSN was to receive more from the classics library? This list may not be the ultimate, but it's a start. With the mention of this, and Resident Evil having been loaded onto PSN yesterday, it looks like SCEA is fulfilling its promise of more PS1 classics.

Here's some further information on the six titles:

Contra: Legacy of War - top-down version of classic Contra shooting action
Dead in the Water - Think Twisted Metal ... on water
Ford Racing - Hmm, we think it may have something to do with racing
Mobile Light Force - Vertical-scrolling shmup
Spec Ops: Airborne Commando - More shooting action
XS Junior League Soccer - Soccer!

We went from lacking PS1 updates, to getting a ton of them, almost weekly now.

I'm glad more PS1 games are coming out, but I'm not really interested in any of the ones they keep announcing.

I'm mostly waiting for FF9, but I'd like to see some really unique PS1 games. There have to be at least one Ico, one Rez, one Super Mario Galaxy, right? Something that's just very unique, very fun, right?

You're not interested in Metal Gear Solid? Madness!

Oh, don't get me wrong, MGS is nice, but I've played it already, and the only real incentive for picking it up on PSP is VR missions. I want to play *new* things, though.

Bring on Rage Racer, Life Force Tenka, WipeoutXL(2097), and ofcourse.... Vagrant Story :)

I was in Tokyo two weeks ago, and at Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara there was a section in the store displaying the Advent Children Blu-Ray. On that same rack was a placard (in Japanese) explaining that Final Fantasy VII (PSOne version) was going to be released soon on the Japan PSN store.
