@perchypanther

Another one added to the list 🙂  I have finally moved out of the 1990's.

PS Are you still QS'ing ?  I'm looking for some AIRS / Costs per m2 etc for Villages Halls, capark and drainage etc. I've been out of it so long,  are SPONS still a thing ?

Yeah. Spons is still a thing although the most recent copy I have is pre-PS2 so probably not much good. It’s all subscription computermabob services these days and it’s not something I have needed access to for 20 odd years.

I was addicted to Gran Turismo 3 and my favourite GTA was Vice City, still play it on my phone when I get a bit bored.

I bought SSX Tricky a year or two back for the old PS2 I have, as we used to love playing it multiplayer.

Think they've all been mentioned above. What controller are you using? We got a couple of these for the Switch, but they're good for PC as well https://www.8bitdo.com/pro2/

Edit: This was the MTB game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downhill_Domination

SSX was ace! I might have to look that out again. A series that I cant see mentioned were the Crash Bandicoot games

No Fear Downhill Mountain Biking - although that may have been PS1

Strongly recommend Mashed: Fully Loaded as a multiplayer game. Like the evil twin of Micro Machines.

Tenchu

It takes a while to get in the correct mindset, but once you do ...

See also: Splinter Cell

Are you still playing ?

The amount of games out there is amazing.

Playing some of the trapped in Japan games.

Dimension Macross

Steamboy

And.... The best football game I played since SWOS.

Football Kingdom 🙂 Japan only.

And Burnout3 can't stop playing it :-), especially two player.

The PS2 game that sticks in my mind as a bit niche but truly excellent is Brütal Legend. Helps if you appreciate a bit of heavy metal.

I came here to suggest Tenchu and Splinter Cell, only to see I’d already done it 4 months ago.

An absolute staple of my student flat. Never tried the single player, but the 4-player gameplay was brilliant.

Just started playing Football Kingdom (Football / Soccer).

Better than any FIFA offering. Like PES but with SWOS speed.

It's really good. Actually very good.

But, its all in Japanese. Still playable.

Long Shot: Anyone here collect original PS2 imports and has the manual. Fancy doing a PDF :-).

Can't find one anywhere.

Then let Google translate.

Ace game.
