4 of these games were not rated by either site, 27 games
rated 90% or above, 56 games rated 80%-89%, 53 games rated 70%-79%, 14 games
rated 60%-69%, 10 games rated 50-59%, and 2 game rated 40-49%.
These scores were attained by averaging the scores from Gamespot and IGN, so
they represent an average between two different review sites. These percentages
are not representative of a "grade" as one would receive in school. A '50%'
score should be viewed as completely average, anything above that should be
viewed as above average.

This list contains 118 exclusive PS1 titles.
12 of those have been ported to other systems, most of which landed in
superior form on the other platform.
7 more are emulated collections of old Atari age
arcade games, most of which have been on many platforms before and since. Even
though all of these games were made originally for the PS1, if you removed them
the list would contain 98 exclusive PS1 titles.
