A gaming sub 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:

  • Breath of the Wild: 400 hours in, have done only 50% of the game. But now that TotK is out, I'm not sure if I'll ever complete BotW. Perhaps if I'm stuck on a deserted island with my Switch and have nothing better to do, I may pick it up again.

  • Skyrim: Countless hours, never really done much of the main storyline, always get lost in modding and optimising the game. Own it on practically all platforms too. But one of these days, I'll get to the main quest...

  • Dangerous Dave: Been playing this DOS game on and off since 1990 but still haven't managed to beat it. I always die around level 6/7, blasted sun keeps killing me.

I loved that (and Flashback) as a kid but always got stuck in the maze-ish bit under the water. Luckily, the 20th Anniversary Edition came on PS Plus so it gave me the push I needed to pick it up again.

I don't think I finished Flashback either, I wonder if that's also got a new version...

Got stuck in the same spot. I eventually got through that I'm sure. I wonder if I finished flash back? I'm going to have to play it again now.

It looks like you can play Flashback (without emulators) nowadays; a quick search shows it available on Steam, Switch, PS4 disc. There's also a sequel announced, but this doesn't seem like the place to discuss it ;)

I have purchased Another World again from GOG, so I legitimately own it (again). I've purchased it many times over the years. It runs just fine on linux, so all is happy here. Flashback, I'll find another legal source. Always happy to pay, if fair priced and accessible.
