The original Playstation is home to some of the greatest video games of all time. So it is disappointing that Sony is slow at releasing PSOne Classics on the Playstation Store for the PSP and
Playstation 3. Plenty of classic games that should be on the service aren't. Hopefully, Sony can recommit to releasing classic Playstation games as downloadable titles for the PSP and Playstation 3. Here are five titles that should become PSOne Classics.

Crash Team Racing

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment, Developer: Naughty Dog, Original Release Date: 1999, ESRB Rating: E

When Crash Bandicoot was under the control of Sony, he was widely known as the mascot for Playstation. With all three of the main Playstation games already available as PSOne Classics, Crash Team Racing is the last remaining classic from the series waiting to be converted for the PSP and Playstation 3. This kart racing game is one of a handful of titles that can stand toe to toe against the mighty Mario Kart series. It was a perfect ending to a great partnership between Crash Bandicoot and Sony.

Dino Crisis

Publisher: Capcom, Developer: Capcom, Original Release Date: 1999, ESRB Rating: M

Capcom has embraced the Playstation Store on the Playstation 3 with many new downloadable games. Unfortunately, they haven't yet released a PSOne Classic game on the online store. Instead of the usual Resident Evil titles, Capcom should go for the much underrated Dino Crisis. A cross between Resident Evil and Jurassic Park, this survival-horror game is one of the best action titles on the original Playstation.

Omega Boost

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment, Developer: Polyphony Digital, Original Release Date: 1999, ESRB Rating: E

The developers of the popular Gran Turismo series only made one non-racing game so far. That game is Omega Boost for the original Playstation. This PSOne Classic hopeful is a rail shooter with a giant robot. Back in the day, it was one of the best looking games on the Playstation. Although Omega Boost may not be as popular as Gran Turismo, it does have the same polish and quality.

Parasite Eve

Is the PlayStation 3 Really Worth the Money?
When the PlayStation 3 first came, you were lucky if you could find one in stores, or buy it for the actual retail price. During that time the PlayStation reached prices in the thousands on eBay, with people actually paying those prices.

Yea, I'm not sure about this list. You're saying most requested and everywhere I go I hear fanboy cries of Final Fantasy VII. I mean come on, I mean I could care less about FFVII but that's obviously #1 for this list. lol, I never even heard of Omega Boost.
