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.

What are your favorite single player games to go back to often?

Minecraft
Furi
Mario 64
Super Mario World
GTA SA and Vice City

It's kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.

I know them so well that I can't help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don't get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.

Toy Story 2 for PS1, I'm willing to try the Dreamcast version, although I don't think it is very different...

Super Mario Bros 64 DS, since it doesn't bother me in the slightest the lack of the joystick this game is a gem with all the added content and portability (well portability was huge thing back in the days 😅).

New Super Mario Bros for DS, very easy to pick up and play, although I'm not a fan of not being able to save anywhere, if my flashcard supported save states I'd definitely use them with this.

Jackie Chan for PS1, I made like a weird tradition to re visit this game all the Decembers lol, don't ask me why, I don't even know it.

I've heard great things about the Jackie Chan games. I should check it out soon

I have a lot of good memories with the Mario 64 DS minigames. I would play those all the time with my friends. The DS was truly a great console. Top 3 for sure

TBH I wasn't even aware that there are more Jackie Chan games lol.

DS is my favorite console I love handhelds and I love the games that came with it, even the most gimmick games like the Zelda games doesn't bother me.
