Nice pick up on the PS1 and PS2 games Neil, £30 for that lot is a steal.
I remember playing Loaded on the original PlayStation. It was on the demo disk that came in the box. The demo disk was all I had to play apart from Tekken and Rayman.

Spyro, Crash 123 and Silent Hill all £15-20 games. Not bad at all for £30

Can anyone recommend any PS2 games? Not the normal Need for Speed and tony hawks games that I played when I was a teenager but more 'hidden gem' games or even just usual games that you can't really get newer ps3 / ps4 version of (like you can with NfS)

This YT channel does a lot of hidden gems videos for most systems.

Basically i have my gamecube and other old consoles setup up stairs in there own room hooked up to a crt trinitron via rgb scart
However we have a young baby and put him to sleep next door to this room early evening so i never really get to play as i know it will wake him up.
So considering trying it downstairs on my main tv as i really want to play the games i have collected, does it really look that bad? Cant justify the expensive component cables unfortunatly. Considered just using dolphin but i like playing on original hardware/controller
Any thoughts or recommendations?

Plug headphones into your Trinitron.
Or just play them at normal volume. As a parent of grown up children I can tell you from experience that the less noise you make the more sensitive they are to it.
If kids are tired they'll sleep through any noise. Particularly if they are use to going to sleep with TV noise on anyway.
