A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Games that I want my kids to play as soon as they are old enough:
Secret of Mana Ocarina of Time Diablo 2 Minecraft
Sonic the Hedgehog and Alex Kidd in Miracle World
Super Metroid
Fallout 1 and 2
FF7
Time Crisis
Soul Blade
Quake
Tomb Raider
Cybernator on SNES - I never even beat the second boss but the game always looked so cool. I should see if I can beat the second boss now...
The original Starcraft.
First game I ever bought with my own money. It's a bargain bin edition I still own to this day, with a bug that prevents one level to be loaded and crashes the game.
Had to discover the cheat codes in a time where the internet was still dial up and not affordable for the average commoner.
Managed to finish the game nonetheless. Made such a great impression in me that cimented my passion for space science fiction.
Still not going to buy Starfield any time soon.

Ocarina Time and Kingdom Hearts 2 were really big games that affected me
Some Sega Genesis games when i was a kid, Streets of Rage, Sailormoon, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 which i have never finished IDK maybe its the game that's a bit too hard or maybe I'm just too dumb.
Fast Forward to 2009, i played a game called The Mana World. It's my first and only experience with online game. I made some good friends on and from the game, i think the overall community is very nice and helpful. I got hooked leveling up and reached to level 93 in few months. Unfortunately i have to cut the game because i need to focus on my study. Still its my greatest memories with gaming!
The Night of the Rabbit by Daedalic was the only video game that made me cry. I never felt like that because of a game ever since.
Tank 1990.
I think it's a bootleg version of a Japanese game and came on a 200 games-in-one NES cartridge. I have good memories with my father before our relationship went to shit.
Persona 4 Golden!!!
Close Combat: A Bridge to Far. It's a real time strategy game with a larger regional map where you control simple supply lines and troop movement between battlefields. My two brothers and I would sit and watch each other play for hours because we just had the one computer back in the late 90's/early 2000's. We made a stupid rule that you had to be present to get your turn so we would often wait nearby for several hours for our chance at glory/survival.
Mech Warrior on PC. The first one. Recruit wingmen, salvage mechs, negotiate with those cheap kurita bastards, regain your family's honor.
16 colors of line-rendered mecha in glorious 386 powered 3d.
Any of the PS1-era Crash Bandicoot games.
My dad, my older brother, and I would spend hours playing those games with each other. Dad wasn’t the greatest gamer, but he was always patient enough to get my brother and I a ton of lives so we all could play without worrying too much :) Still got those discs in good condition too, just played them again with my dad a few months back for the first time in forever!
