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.

For me it's Chrono Trigger. I always want to play it. I want to show it to my children. I hope it will be regarded as a masterpiece for generations to come.

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

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.

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.

Also Chrono Cross, definitely one of the better stories Square has written.

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.

Okami was such a great game. The soundtrack was fantastic. I actually downloaded it to listen to while traveling through Japan. I swear, seeing mount Fuji in person with the music from the shinsu plains brought me to tears.

I’m a fan of some even earlier RPGs… Miracle Warriors, Phantasy Star, Phantasy Star II and Ys.

Titan Quest and Torchlight 2

I have a Mr. Do! arcade machine which feels pretty timeless to me.

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
