I lied, they’re not perfect games, and they’re certainly not perfect ports. Still, the PC had some absolute bangers over the years and, the PlayStation being the most popular console out there, Sony’s machine got itself some ports of said bangers. PC to PS1 ports, eh? What’s the worst that could happen?

Well you know what, some of these are terrible, but a lot of them are actually interesting lessons in learning design for a console, and I’d wager a big reason why games work as well as they do - controls and UI-wise - on consoles these days. Just my two pence. And here’s 12 PC ports on PlayStation, too. Huzzah.
