Such a fast paced gameplay, very fun. Short but sweet. Story is a little cheesy but it doesn't really need it. This was one of these games were I just rented it while browsing and picked it up and it ended up being one of my favorite PS1 games.
I remember finding a demo of this game on a psone demo disk. Played it for hours until I finally tracked down the full game. its one of my most played games on the PSone and probably one of my my most played game of all time. I played it so much that I started speed running it with my friends before we even knew what speed running was. Short game with a cheesy but fun story but great and fast gameplay. I would love to be able to play it again and sink my teeth on it and maybe even learn how to speed run it properly.
Silent Bomber was truly a game of my childhood, and it holds a special place in my heart. I played this game by myself. What made it so memorable was definitely its intense difficulty. I remember it being one of the hardest games I've ever completed, and the final boss was an incredibly tough challenge that took me a long time to overcome. I would absolutely love to see Silent Bomber released on GOG so that I and other fans can experience this fantastic game again.
Such a fun little arcadey game on ps1 that i swear no-one but me and my sister played growing up. We played it over and over, despite never being able to finish it thanks to an infamous bug in localisation that meant it would always crash at the end of the elevator boss.

Dirty deeds, done for exorbitant fees. These are world powers with deep pockets, deep grudges, and enough arms and ammo to start World War III. This is your kind of environment.

Tanks, APCs, boats, luxury automobiles - you name it, you can have it delivered to you in real time. And if you run out of cash you can always 'acquire' the gear you need in the field.

You don't have to play by anyone's rules. You have your own code: you will fulfill the terms of the contract, no matter what. Not everyone in the world of Mercenaries is as honorable.

PolicenautsPolicenauts is an interactive movie/graphic novel/adventure game with a hard science fiction storyline, written and directed by Hideo Kojima, and published by Konami. It was initially released for the PC-9821 computer platform in 1994, followed by remade versions for the 3DO in 1995, and the PlayStation and Sega Saturn in 1996. The game has never been officially released outside Japan, despite plans for an English localization of the Saturn version. On August 24, 2009 (in honor of the 46th birthday of the game designer, Hideo Kojima), an unofficial English translation patch was released onto the internet.
The game is set in a primarily first person perspective and uses a point-and-click interface: the player can move the cursor and have the protagonist (Jonathan Ingram) analyze objects around his environment or talk to other characters in the game. Like in Snatcher, the game features shooting segments where the player must defend their character from incoming enemies. The player can use the shooting trainer at the police department to test their reflex and accuracy. There are numerous puzzles in the game, including an event where the player must dismantle a bomb by following their partner's instructions.
The console versions of the game all include support for their respective mouse peripherals. The Saturn version features light gun support for the shooting segments.
The game was notable for being an early example of extensive voice recording in video games. It also featured a theme revolving around space exploration and occasional full-motion video cut scenes. The gameplay was largely similar to Snatcher, but with the addition of a point-and-click interface and some first-person shooter segments. Policenauts also introduced summary screens, which act to refresh the player's memory of the plot upon reloading a save, an element Kojima would later use in Metal Gear Solid. The PlayStation version of Policenauts could also read the memory card and give some easter egg dialogues if a save file of Konami's dating sim Tokimeki Memorial is present, a technique Kojima would also later use in Metal Gear Solid.Action Science fiction
