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.

Like others have said. Hard to pick one.
I had an Age of Empires demo disk that I played through dozens of times before actually receiving the full game.
Crash Bandicoot for PS1 on Christmas day at 7 years old is definitely a core memory.
But more recently I've really enjoyed games that have a good blend of story/gameplay or that really nail a theme. Subnautica was an awesome experience to play (dark room and good headphones are recommended for the first time playing through), Portal 2 because it was so unique (I played #2 before #1).
