Last Topic's Ratings:

Gun Frontier - BBB - 0% (3)
Heiwa Pachinko Sou Shingeki - BB - 0% (2)
Machine Head - GB - 50% (2)
Resident Evil - GGGGGAGG - 94% (8) (1 SR)
Side Pocket 3 - AA - 50% (2)
Super Tempo - AB - 25% (2)

I'm actually kinda surprised Super Tempo only got 2 ratings and rated that low, it feels like a game people would have known about, if only due to its visuals.

Games for this topic:

Assault Suit Leynos 2
Double Switch
F1 Challenge
Gebockers
Princess Crown
Riven: The Sequel to Myst

Assault Suits Valken and Assault Suit Leynos are made by the same company, yet the former has the word suits pluralized while the latter does not, which always throws me off. I think it sounds better with the plural.

Stray Sheep: The Adventure of Poe and Merry - AA - 50% (2)

It's actually kind of hilarious how many Army Men games there are in the low recommendation range. Will they ever escape?

Games for this topic:

Detective Mouse
Let's Go Flyfishing
Monster Complete World
Rescue Copter
Smurf Racer
SpongeBob SquarePants: Supersponge

I actually cannot believe Spongebob is old enough to have a game on PS1. Apparently it first aired in 1999, so it actually made the cutoff for PS1 fairly comfortably (PS1 was still getting games well into 2003). Monster Complete World is also one I've wanted to look at for a while.

Last Topic's Ratings:

Capcom Generation 4 - AGAA - 63% (4)
Maximum Force - AAAB - 38% (4)
NASCAR 98 - ABA - 33% (3)
Ogre Battle - AGAAGGA - 71% (7)
Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru - AAGAG - 70% (5)
WWF In Your House - BBAA - 25% (4)

Capcom Generation 4 is the first of the series to fall out of the high range, while Ogre Battle just barely holds on.

Games for this topic:

Gun Frontier
Heiwa Pachinko Sou Shingeki
Machine Head
Resident Evil
Side Pocket 3
Super Tempo

The games in this topic have such short names compared to the PS1 topic, I probably could have fit 4 of them in the topic title.

GAB PS1 #161 - Gundam Battle Assault, Motorhead, Stray Sheep

Last Topic's Ratings:

Chessmaster 3D, The - AAAB - 38% (4)
Initial D - GABB - 38% {4}
Lake Masters - BB - 0% (2)
Note, The - AA - 50% (2)
Spectral Tower - GAB - 50% {3}
Super Dropzone: Intergalactic Rescue Mission - AA - 50% (2)

Not the best start for the games that were newly added to the PS1 GAB list (both Lake Masters and Spectral Tower were added more recently), but I'm confident that some of the new games will end up being good.

Games for this topic:

Army Men World War: Land, Sea, Air
Gundam: Battle Assault
Motorhead
Olympic Soccer: Atlanta 1996
Shanghai Banri no Choujou
Stray Sheep: The Adventure of Poe and Merry

I suppose technically Army Men probably should have been the headlining game for this topic, but I'm quite curious to try out Stray Sheep, as at least from a visual standpoint it seems like something I'd like. Also, there's apparently a million versions of Shanghai on PS1, so we'd probably better get working on them.
