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.

If you like point-and-click adventure games, there are a bunch in spooky territory:
The Colonel's Bequest
Grim Fandango
Maniac Mansion/Day of the Tentacle
There are more, but these are the ones I'd start with if you haven't played them.
Ooh, I loved Grim Fandango as a kid, but my disk kept breaking around the end of the game. I'll have to go replay it, it has probably been long enough to forget most of the puzzle solutions. I recently replayed Day of the Tentacle and loved it. :)
The Monkey Island game that came out a year or two ago was pretty great too if you want a modern take on the genre.
I imagine you've played some of the others, but if not you should do 1 & 2 immediately.
I know I played Curse of Monkey Island, but I don't think I played the first two, I'll certainly give them a try. :)
