Over the course of the lifespan of the PlayStation 1, some games made it clear that things were never going to be the same again, and other games didn’t have that immediate impact. It’s the latter we’re focusing on here, with 10 PS1 games that were ahead of their time. From innovative features trapped on otherwise average releases, to excellent titles that simply came out too early in the PlayStation’s run to be properly appreciated, these are the games that told us in one way or another where the industry was headed, even if the games themselves didn’t know it.
