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.

Have a win 7 mouseless laptop I'd like to put a game on and play for funs. Typically my go to game for olden computers is Heroes of Might and Magic 3 or maybe Civ 4. Any recommendations?

Diablo2, WC3, and RTSs would be tricky because lack of mouse and I'd prefer no rush to my actions so I can simultaneously be coding and just do minibreaks taking a turn or part of a turn here and there

Alpha Centauri with the Alien Crossfire dlc

Best 4x ever.

I want a new alpha centauri quality 4x game more than anything.

That would be phenomenal, but I imagine it's unlikely.

However, if we're in the realm of unlikely scenarios, maybe they can give me a follow-up to Xcom: Enemy Within that proceeds from an Xcom victory in the first game. I never got into Xcom 2 because it ignored the buildup to the greater enemy foreshadowed at the end of Enemy Within. Not knocking those who liked what we got...it just didn't work for me.
