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.

If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? (sh.itjust.works)

Assuming the equipment was also saved so you could still play the games, and every game in existence you don’t mention gets permanently destroyed, and no new games are ever to be made.

Inspired by a video by OutsideXbox from a few years ago, I thought it would be a fun idea to see what this community would choose. You can choose to be selfish and pick games you personally want to always play, or try to figure out what games would be best chosen for humanity to save for whatever reason. I’d also love to hear why you chose your games. Do they have a special meaning to you? I want to hear your stories.

              Doom (1993): Arguably the best game ever made especially with mods, essentially created the FPS genre.
Half Life 2 (and its episodes considering they're now all one game): One of the best games ever, revolutionized physics and story telling.
Halo MCC: Some of the greatest games ever made and truly represents an era of gaming long gone, doesn't mean a lot to me but it means a lot to a lot of people.
Fallout NV: Arguably the best FPS RPG, amazing dialog choices and overall amazing story. The atmosphere is incredible and so are the factions.
F-Zero GX: One of the greatest games Nintendo ever made, it truly captures the arcade feel in a way very few other games have. Just intense racing that feels amazing, good gameplay and great controls.
