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.

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.

The best crack? OG WoW.

I’m a fan of some even earlier RPGs… Miracle Warriors, Phantasy Star, Phantasy Star II and Ys.

Jade Cocoon for PSX. The only true monster merging game. Been waiting on RujiktheComatose to change that. As a side note I would've said Armored Core but we're finally getting a new one.

Gran Turismo 2 - I have no idea why to this day, I play it atleast weekly. To me, everything about this game is timeless from the Soundtrack, selection of cards to the graphical style (it has to be played on a CRT mind you OR an emulator with some mods to fix textures and clipping properly.).

Also Chrono Cross, definitely one of the better stories Square has written.

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.

The tank game on Wii Sports (reminiscent of Atari Tanks but coop)

PS1 Final Fantasy Tactics (especially with mods, particularly FFT 1.3)

PC Master of Magic (especially with community mods, Caster of Magic is a favorite)

SNES Super Mario World

SNES Super Bomber Man
