Do you still play your old PS1 games?

I did a search for the topic but didn't turn up any results. Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you still play PS1 games. I recently dug out Test Drive 5 from the cabinet and popped it in the PS2. Back in 1998 the graphics were pretty good. It is almost comedic to see them now. I also popped in Gran Turismo 2. I had completely forgotten what that game was like. It felt so different. After playing those two for a while I put GT4 back in. It's funny how you get used to framerates of the PS1 games and when you go back to GT4 or something they seem so fluid. What games do you play if you still play them?
 
I'll pull something out occasionally, although I haven't done so since I got my new TV, so they might look a good deal more horrid now.

Castlevania: SOTN, GT1/2, maybe some Wipeout.

I occasionally throw in Resident Evil 2 and one of the Namco Collections.


I know what you mean about the framerate differences. You can see it if you go backl to early PS2 games and then play newer games. I had rented Le Mans 24 Hours from Gamefly and have been playing it for a while and then switched over to GT4 to relax my sore thumb a bit and the difference took me by surprise. I sat there looking at GT4 thinking, "It looks so good." It also took me by surprise when I remembered a simulation racer requires brakes a lot more than an arcade racer.
