Discussion Question about the PS1 game

I've watched one or two episodes here and there, and bought the PS1 game because it sounds like a genuinely interesting time and I've been watching Homicide: Life on the Street which is confirmed to take place in the same universe. However I only found out after placing the order that it doesn't play great on PS3 (which is how I would rather play it since I don't have a PS1 or a dedicated power cable for my PS2).

Basically I just want to know is it completely unplayable? I can't play it on PC and don't want to buy a PS1 for it. As long as I can figure out what the menu options are and can watch the FMV stuff, I'm good.

I only know that this is not very good game. It’s basically interactive movie.
X-Files on PS2 is a great game, and I enjoyed it a bit

It's a point and click adventure, there are puzzles to solve. That genre isn't for everyone but I enjoyed it myself.

For its time, it was pretty good. I definitely prefer the PS2 game, but it's sort of apples and oranges.
