Sometimes the original is still the best; although versions 2 & 3 are great games with awesome moves, this one always had a special place in my heart. The action is intense, fighting skills take time to develop, and you always discover something else everytime you play. This is fun they won't be putting down anytime soon.

The first time I played this game I was amazed by the sheer quality coming out of this game. The grahics were absolutly incredible and the gameplay was out of this world. This was all in 1995. Now that tekken2 and tekken3 had arrived on the scene it seemed as though tekken had faded to a fairyland. Back then in junior school everyone was in conversation about all the characters and the secret ones and how you unlocked them. And know that games like tekken2, tekken3 and soulbade coming to the playstation tekken was suddenly never an issue. All I know is that tekken was a fantastic game at launch and had also beaten virtua fighter on the saturn which was a rival to tekken. If tekken had never come out then I believe with a 100% that none of the existing games that I have mentioned above and their sequals would have been in existance. Despite these games being in existance tekken is still a soulfighter and is the game that made namco famous on the playstation.

I AM A PAC MAN TYPE OF GAL HOWEVER I REALLY LOVE THIS GAME. I PLAY IT ALL THE TIME WITH MY ONLY CHILD. NOW I CAN HANG WITH THE BEST OF THEM. MY SON'S FRIENDS THINK I AM SO COOL BEING 31 AND ALL. NO JUST FOR BOYS. GALS INVITED. ENJOY !!!!!!

THIS GAME WAS GREAT. THOUGH IT DOESN'T COMPARE TO ITS ORIGINAL ARCADE MACHINE, THIS HOME VERSION IS NICE ANYWAY. THE FIGHTS ARE ALL FUN, THE GRAPHICS STILL LOOK FANTASTIC EVEN THOUGH THIS GAME IS NEARLY A DECADE OLD NOW, AND THE CHARACTERS ARE ALL GOOD AND THE STORYLINES ARE ALL INTERESTING. TO UNLOCK THE BOSSES [WHICH IS THE MAIN THING], YOU HAVE TO BEAT THEM ALL WITH THEIR ALREADY AVAILABLE COUNTERPARTS. THE FIRST TIME YOU BEAT HEIHACHI [WHICH IS THE MAIN BOSS FOR THIS GAME], YOU GET HIM UNLOCKED. BUT THE REST OF THEM, YOU HAVE TO PLAY AS THE COUNTERPARTS TO GET THEIR BOSSES. EVEN WITH THE PLAYSTATION 2 AND X BOX AND STATE OF THE ART SYSTEMS LIKE THAT ON THE MARKET, MANY OF THE GAMES THEY PUT OUT TODAY CAN'T COMPARE TO CLASSIC GAMES LIKE THIS! THIS IS ONE OF THE ALL-TIME GREATEST FIGHTING GAMES EVER AND I DARE SAY THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST OF THE TEKKEN SERIES. EVEN HAS GREAT MUSIC.

Most Teekns fans carer started with Tekken 3. And if you were an aracde aholic, it started with 2. Had this been the easrly 90's this gamewould have got 5 stars hands down. But over the years, this game is aged. Tekken 1, was not an arcade blokc buster, and really came to age on ome systems. Most fans of later tekkens will notice that this game was left for improvements. Thee characters, while perfect stunnning and apporpiate for the early 90's, are blocky and of little detail. although it was light years beyond Virtua Fighter 1. And the fact that this was one ofthe first 3-dgames without chessy ringouts,and a highly detail, and cue combo system. Most fans of later tekken will notice the cheese factor of the gameplay. You could basically, pumble the computer, or an human oppeonent with little ease on the ground. Which was improved in later Tekkens. And the 8 characters, which again was appropiate for the times. The story of this game, goes back to early Tekken. Heatchi(sp?) was the final Boss.And was pretty hard due tothe fact you could be killed with only 3 moves. I dont remember if Devil Kaazu(sp?) was a secret boss. But he was selectable,only through a very hard unlock process. Anyway, I know that the later Tekkens blowthis game way, but his is a classic. Introdcuing oyung versions, of Tekken legends. Law, Paul, and Kaazu(sp?). This is a personal favorite of mines. But the reason for the low rating is the fact that the gameplay was cheesy. Which, again was greatly imporoved upon in later tekkens.

I remember playing tekken when I was younger, though I'm not actually sure what game I played. It was probably either tekken 2 or 3. But I wanted to try playing tekken again. I liked the stories you get at the end and I like the different characters you can get later on. So I decided to play at the beginning.

As for Tekken the original game:
(keep in mind that I haven't played tekken in a long time, and this is my first time playing tekken 1.)

PROS: This is where it all began so it was nice to see how it started
You get to see and play the original characters
You get to see how their stories began
and have fun learning their techniques(a pro and con)

CONS: The character's endings are very short and if you don't have the manual you may get confused on how this has to do with the characters.
There are no voices at the end, you just hear the same music
The graphics aren't that good, but keep in mind it's the original
Mostly a bunch of button pushing
You don't get to unlock any extra characters
and you have to learn a lot of moves on your own (a pro and con)

Overall I would say it isn't a must get, but if you want to see how the story began and are intrested in starting from the beginning then it isn't a waste of money. But I would mention that if it is just their stories you were intrested in then just look online and you can see all their stories in a total of 4 minutes. I don't regret my desicion, but I wouldn't get it again. This said it is likely I would play it again just for kicks.

Ever since I was young, I have been in love with the Tekken series. Brings back a lot of good memories. I bought this game to bring back the memories and the fun. Though the graphics aren't as top notch at games these days are, but it's still an entertaining game to play. If you collect either Tekken stuff or video games, this is a must own.

i love this game. i defanatly think this play station version is way better than the arcade version. i remember playing this game when i was 7 and loved it. i recently bought it again and forgot about galaga at the beginning. lol. anyway, defanatly recommend this game.

the seller's description sed BLACK LABEL IN LONG CASE. i recieved the damn green labled regular case instead. in other words, my ass got ripped off.

the game itself is a good fighter, i love how wen u start it up you get that classic galaga game. theres a pretty good cast of characters, each with there own uniqe set of moves. the graphics are great, characters are in 3d while the backgrounds are in 2d. you get cool CG cutscenes during arcade mode for each of the 8 characters. probably my favorite part of ANY Tekken game is the music. the music in this game is very well done. one of my very few complaints of this game is that there is no training mode. its hard to learn some of the moves while someone is fighting you at the same time. you can also ajust the difficulty level of the game, though i didnt notice a difference. this is one of the first fighters on the PS1 along with Battle Arena Toshinden. i wouldnt really reccomend it unless your a collector like me and you want the long case version. i would reccomend Tekken 2, which is the best in the series in my opinion.

Never actually owned the original Tekken but I played it. Since I'm the best Tekken player in the universe, I've decided that I want to own the game that started it all....
