beliar: Oh, yes. It's so bad, that it comes back the full circle and starts being awesome good :-D
Knights of Xentar is actually a good game, fast and simple to play, very funny and has aged quite well.

beliar: I feel obliged to mention Aselia the Eternal.
Official site.
RPGfan recently did a review and interviewed the publisher.
Discussion about the game on NIS America forums.
Siliconera article.
It's also completely DRM-free both as a physical disc and as a download edition.
I never heard of this, will have to check it out later.

Snickersnack: IMHO, as released, I think it was superior to the PSX version. I'm running it on my Pentium 1 box with a voodoo 1 & AWE64 and I'm getting a nice 640x480 resolution. Thanks to sound fonts, the music seems a match for PSX (don't currently have an end game save to test one wing angel unfortunately). The PC port's translation makes more sense. The prerendered assets are unfortunately the same as the PSX's. When the port was being made, the ability to alter them was long gone. :(

FF7 is just an old PC game that doesn't run well on current hardware. Fan patches to the rescue if you care to putz with the game.

SirPrimalform: I find the resolution mismatch between the backgrounds and the real time rendered bits quite ugly. You might be getting nicer sound than when it was released by using soundfonts, but it still won't sound as intended and there won't be any vocals in 'one winged angel' because after all it's still just MIDI.
I can't comment on the translation though because I don't remember enough to compare between them.
Well this is Resident Evil in ePSXe http://i.cubeupload.com/egj8Ou.png ... The emulator does a decent job of making the pre rendered stuff a lot less blocky on high resoloutions

Hmm. To narrow it down, if you want something easily emulable:

SNES: FF6, chrono trigger
PSX: xenogears, valkyrie profile, final fantasy tactics.

tomdelada: How about Recettear : An Item Shop's Tale?

Sure, the art style and characters are sweet enough to give you diabetes, not to mention cuter than puppies mixed with kittens, but the game doesn't take itself seriously at all and can be genuinely amusing at times. Not to mention the rather unique premise of running a shop where you sell the stuff you find while dungeon crawling.

Capitalism, ho!!!!
I second this. Also, Carpe Fulgur is releasing Fortune Summoners soon, that one looks really good.

I will third FF6 as it's the only JRPG I've ever finished and truly enjoyed. It's got amazing scenes and a really brilliant story structure. One of my favourite games ever.
