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.

Basically what the title says. I've only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.

Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.

EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I'm going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!

Emulation is your friend. Would be nice to have the remake, though.

Yeah, I mean the remake. I tried playing the original a few years ago, and I just couldn't get into it with the old graphics.

Thanks for making me feel old.

My back hurts.

Lmao, I'm an older gamer myself. My problem is that I missed the PS1, N64 through PS2, Xbox era because I was too old for my parents to buy my video games, but too young to buy them for myself. I had a SNES as a kid, then jumped straight to the Xbox 360 and PS3. So I don't really nostalgia for PS2 graphics.

I feel it's easy to go back and re-play an old game, but it's really hard to get into an old game that you never played.

Plus, the fact that a remake exists makes it hard to justify playing the original.
