Herbarius #1 Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) The PlayStation 1 originally released with standard controllers without analog sticks, the DualShock controllers introducing the analog sticks, which have been standard for the PS2, were released later. I wonder if there somewhere is a list of all PS1 games which can be used to see which PS1 games only use the standard digital controllers, which support the analog sticks but don't require them (if such games exist) and which can only played with the DualShock controllers. It propably doesn't require a lot of research to find it out for a single game (most can be looked up at Wikipedia), but it would be nice to have a list to easily pick them out. I read on Wikipedia that "Ape Escape", released in 1999, was the first game explicitly requiring the Analog controller, so you can know all games released before do not require them... however this of course doesn't mean that all games released after automatically require them too... I hope it's okay to post this in the "Classic Gaming General" board, since there is no clear definition on where "Classic" ends and "Modern" starts, especially with the PS1 being exactly in between. If this should be in the "Modern Gaming" board instead, I apologize; in this case maybe a moderator can move the thread.

Video #2 Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) I don't know of many. I do know however that there were two variants of Need for Speed, Hot Persuit released. One had no Analog support, and the other one did, if you selected it befor the race, but you were stuck either digital, or analog for the race. I can only guess that any game released right at that time may havve done the same thing, but who knows. Eitherway, I doubt any games absolutely refusedd to work with the analog controller unless it didn't work with the digital anyways.
