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.

Eaaaaasily the Dreamcast, even though I think I was the only person I knew that had one. I think I had:

Shenmue
Power Stone
Soulcalibur
Quake III Arena
Skies of Arcadia
Capcom vs SNK
Timestalkers
Sonic Adventure
Phantasy Star Online

Stellar lineup. I also loved my PlayStation.

Oh yeah the Dreamcast! Never saw a console with such a quirky lineup. My favorites were

Rez
Tokyo Xtreme Racer
Cosmic Smash
Crazy Taxi
House of the Dead
Space Channel 5 (right left chu chu chu!)

I'm really happy most of these games are available on Steam. Rez in VR is amazing (and Tetris Effect, made by the same team I think).

I would love to see a modern Power Stone game made

God, me too. I don't understand why 'arena fighters' in that style just seemed to fall off the face of the earth.
