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.

Super Mario World! It holds up remarkably well even by modern platformer standards. It feels great, looks great, and is a blast to explore.

Can't believe Nethack doesn't top the list.

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Totally still works as a modern Zelda game. Especially since Nintendo hasn't really changed the core mechanics since it's release!

Half Life 2 still looks and plays fantastic even nearly decades later

Half life 1 also! May be the graphics are a bit dated, but for that is the Black Mesa verdion

The BioShock series is a timeless masterpiece
