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.

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.
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.
- Ground Control
- Warzone 2100
- Supreme Commander
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.
Transport tycoon deluxe Counter strike Diablo 2 Path of exile Rimworld Zuma Starcraft
The best crack? OG WoW.
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.

If you love FF Tactics, check out FFT 1.3
and the solid custom stories/mods built on the FFT engine
There are some phenomenal rebalances and new stories for the original PS1 (and PSP if you prefer) engine.
FFT 1.3 is legitimately challenging (there's an easy mode that's worth playing too), ungimps the AI, and makes some fights quite hard. It completely rebalances classes to make them all useful and interesting.
Metroid Prime. I don't have a gamecube, and I so wish I did. That game got so many hours out of me and nothing has come close since.
