New PS1 Classics Include Oddworld, Syphon Filter 2, And More

Oddworld

Yep, more PS1 classics are headed to the PlayStation Network, for play on either the PlayStation 3 or PSP. The more that come, the more we can take a look into the past and go, "aw, remember that one?"

According to the Examiner.com, the ESRB has leaked a list of new PS1 classic titles they've re-rated for release on the PSN. This includes recently released games like Bloody Roar and the Tomb Raiders, but there are plenty of new faces...one of 'em is pretty weird-lookin'. Here's the list:

• Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain
• Bloody Roar
• Cool Boarders 2
• Cool Boarders 3
• International Track & Field
• Oddworld: Abe's Exodus
• Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
• Pandemonium!
• SimCity 2000
• Syphon Filter 2
• Tomb Raider
• Tomb Raider 2
• Um Jammer Lammy

For those of you who weren't around during the PS1 era, the Oddworld titles were some of the most impressive of the time. The original Oddworld was not only one of the best-looking games on the original PlayStation, it was also one of the most original and in my opinion, one of the absolute best. The sequels weren't too bad, either. Syphon Filter 2 is a great addition, as is Um Jammer Lammy (the sequel to PaRappa the Rapper, if you weren't aware), and those Coolboarders games were an absolute blast for fans. Gotta love our PS1 classics!
