Looking back at this list I realized I missed a couple of games... hopefully there aren't any more. :(
Circuit Breakers - Racing game from the same developers as Micro Machines 2, V3, and V4, among others. This game feels like a Micro Machines game, except that instead of being from a top-down perspective, it's sort of three quarters behind. The result is it's not directly behind the car, and not overhead, but something in between. The graphics are okay; definitely nothing special, but for the PSX it looks okay and has a decent style. The gameplay is fun, anyone who likes Micro Machines as I do likely will like this game. It's got a good challenge level, but isn't impossible. Four player multiplayer (with multitap).
ShipWreckers
ShipWreckers is a Psygnosis game also released for the PC. As such, it has the usual reasonably good graphics (as far as the PS1 can do anyway) Psygnosis PSX games usually have, which is nice. It's a 3d, top view pirate ship action game. You sail your little ship around, shooting at baddies, picking up weapons and powerups, and wiping out the enemies. You can fire left and right, with your left and right broadsides, each on a different button. The levels are large and get complex, and have plenty of exploration and stuff to find in them. There is a nice variety of weapons, too. The game's challenging, as expected from them, but a lot of fun. This is a pretty good game. I only wish it had analog support. Four player (multitap required).
