[One, Two, Middlesboogie]

In ascending order:

5) Music 2000 (PSX/PC)
This is a music creation game. Well, I say game, but it's more like a piece of activity software. It's so user-friendly and there are so many things you can do with it. There are so many levels of options that it appeals to both hardcore EJs and casual novices. It really lets my creative streaks shine through.

4) AO & AE (PSX/PC (duh) )
Yes, I know it's cheating putting two in the same slot, but I can't decide which one I like better. I shouldn't have to describe these two games...

3) WipEout (PSX/PC?)
The original, but not quite the best, futuristic racing game. This game is a landmark and a little piece of PlayStation history. Gaming was perceived as geeky, childish and insular until the club culture of WipEout slammed its way onto Sony's little grey machine. This game rocked the gaming world when it was first released, and people were really impressed by the graphics, even though by today's standards they look like vomit on a vinyl jacket.
To the graphics' credit, though, WipEout's intro sequence is the best I have ever seen for any PSX game, not just in image quality but in content and the way it induces a big adrenalin rush.

2) Spyro 2 (PSX)
This is the best of the three current Spyros. Spyro 3 is basically just a remake of its predecessor, and it lacks so many of the cool new features that Spyro 2 had; the difficulty rating that each puzzle had (so you could decide if you were ready to undertake it or not) and the inclusion of primary, secondary and tertiary tasks. 2 was so radically and wonderfully different from the original, and 3 rather disappointed by its similarity, instead of delivering anything new.

Drum roll, please, for my favourite game of all time...

1) WipEout 2097 (PSX)
This is the game that the first WipEout should have been. This game is a pyschedelic stew of lush visuals of electric blue and shocking yellow... from urban cities to parrot-filled jungles, from icy wastes to volcanic islands, all mixed with Prodigy songs, cans of Red Bull and ships streaking faster than the blurry smears of hurled paint. It really does feel as though your mind is being unleashed. 2097 promises, and delivers, pure euphoria. I love it to bits, and the only game that could possibly beat it is WipEout Fusion.
