Lets see...

Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX (And I don't care who disagrees with me VIII is the best. End of!)

Bubble Bobble featuring Rainbow Island
Lemmings and Oh No! More Lemmings (Okay the last two are ports/updates of old games but they are very good ones at that!)

I Also loved Bomberman on the Playstation... I can't remember what one it was though I think it was just called 'Bomberman' over here? It came on a demo disc and had a lot of stages on there so we never bothered to buy the game!

p.s Didn't vote for any 2D fighters because much better ports are available on Saturn/DC/PS2/MAME.

 

[Parsaw]

Samurai Deeper Kyo
Megaman legends 1 and 2
King of Fighters 99

 

[Psyfira]

(And I don't care who disagrees with me VIII is the best. End of!)

Hurrah!

Final Fantasy 7-9
Tomb Raider II (it's got a little bit extra than the first one, without the trial-and-error mess that is TR3)
Crash Bandicoot 3
Bust a Move 2 (same as all the others, but everyone needs a silly multiplayer

)

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee was good but a bit too hard, not sure if I'd put it on this list or not.

 

[Hadrian]

Lets see...

Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX (And I don't care who disagrees with me VIII is the best. End of!)

I agree VIII was much better than VII but I prefer IX.
