Best Castlevania by far... one of the best platformers ever probably. I love this game.

For RPGs, Final Fantasy 7 and Tactics are essentials. Chrono Cross, while over-hyped initially, is I think underrated and worth buying. Legend of Dragoon is supposedly very well done, though I haven't played it. Star Ocean 2 is always a great RPG. FF9, while not as good as 7, was enjoyable... as was Xenogears (which probably could have been one of the best RPGs ever if they hadn't screwed up the 2nd disc).

Armored Core is a great 3rd person shooter game, especially if you like big mecha type junk. Good multiplay too.

Alundra is another great game. Essentially, Alundra is to PSX what Zelda was to the SNES.

Excellent Game, Also look for Vandall Hearts.( Don't get the second Vandall hearts, it sucks)
Tactics Ogre is cool, but was rare enough that used ones were going for almost $100

There's a motorcycle racing game that I use to play for hours and hours at a time. Not dirt bikes but actual Crotch Rocket sport bikes. No idea what it was called though. Moto Racing or something maybe? No idea.
