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.

Eaaaaasily the Dreamcast, even though I think I was the only person I knew that had one. I think I had:

  • Shenmue
  • Power Stone
  • Soulcalibur
  • Quake III Arena
  • Skies of Arcadia
  • Capcom vs SNK
  • Timestalkers
  • Sonic Adventure
  • Phantasy Star Online

Stellar lineup. I also loved my PlayStation.

Oh yeah the Dreamcast! Never saw a console with such a quirky lineup. My favorites were

  • Rez
  • Tokyo Xtreme Racer
  • Cosmic Smash
  • Crazy Taxi
  • House of the Dead
  • Space Channel 5 (right left chu chu chu!)

I'm really happy most of these games are available on Steam. Rez in VR is amazing (and Tetris Effect, made by the same team I think).

I would love to see a modern Power Stone game made

God, me too. I don't understand why 'arena fighters' in that style just seemed to fall off the face of the earth.
