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.

The Jak and Daxter series. Gameplay still holds up, story and world building still holds up, and it's been made easily available to later generations of consoles. Heck even the in-game animations hold up shockingly well, Jak's movement feels so fluid and organic compared to a lot of other older games that tend to feel a bit janky compared to modern games.

Older games in the Ratchet and Clank series also hold up pretty well too, though they're a bit harder to access unless they've been made available on the ps4/ps5 since I last played them, otherwise I have to dig out my ps3 to play the first 3 games.

I replay both game series pretty regularly and they're always equally as fun to play no matter how many years have passed.
