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.

Jade Cocoon for PSX. The only true monster merging game. Been waiting on RujiktheComatose to change that. As a side note I would've said Armored Core but we're finally getting a new one.
Gran Turismo 2 - I have no idea why to this day, I play it atleast weekly. To me, everything about this game is timeless from the Soundtrack, selection of cards to the graphical style (it has to be played on a CRT mind you OR an emulator with some mods to fix textures and clipping properly.).
The best crack? OG WoW.
Also Chrono Cross, definitely one of the better stories Square has written.
-
Chrono Trigger
-
Starcraft: Brood War
-
Diablo II: LoD
-
The GBA remakes of the pre-7 Final Fantasy
In no particular order:
Chrono Trigger
Binding of Isaac Rebirth
myhouse.wad (I know it came out this year, but goddamn it's good)
Yoshi's Island
Super Mario All-Stars + World (cheating maybe?)
Silent Hill 1, 2, and 3
Terranigma
OMORI (also recent, but also damn good)
LoZ: Majora's Mask
Pokemon 2nd gen (could totally just be nostalgia talking right here)
Tetris
Super Smash Bros Melee
Mario Kart 64
Also I keep coming back to yashum's Call of Cthulhu SMW hack.
Personally, it's Disco Elysium for me. It deals with issues that will always be core to the human experience, and it forces you to place yourself somewhere along that spectrum with no opportunity to opt-out. I wish people near me were more interested in video games so I could show it to them.
- Ground Control
- Warzone 2100
- Supreme Commander
The tank game on Wii Sports (reminiscent of Atari Tanks but coop)
PS1 Final Fantasy Tactics (especially with mods, particularly FFT 1.3)
PC Master of Magic (especially with community mods, Caster of Magic is a favorite)
SNES Super Mario World
SNES Super Bomber Man
I personally didn't like Chrono Trigger that much.
For me, it has to be the old arcade games. So:
- pacman
- super contra
- Tetris
- space invaders and/or break free
- Street Fighter II
We rented a house with some family (tons of kids) and the arcade cabinet was a huge hit, and I'm pretty sure it'll remain a huge hit for the next 20+ years.
For me fallout 3 played the originals when they first came out (yes I'm old) and loved fallout 4 but fallout 3 will always be my favorite because not only did they resurrect a classic but they did it amazingly well
Uniracers for the Snes still looks, sounds and plays great. It's like a 2d Tony hawk racing game with unicycles.
Ms. Pac Man.
It's such a good game to play in an arcade.
Metroid Prime. I don't have a gamecube, and I so wish I did. That game got so many hours out of me and nothing has come close since.
