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.

One of my favorite games as a kid. Came free inside boxes of Chex cereal. Truly a masterpiece for a free game! The intro still holds up.

Holy nostalgia bomb. This reminds me of wasting so many hours on Postopia as a kid.

As a reminder, Chex Quest was just a total conversion mod of Doom

I remember when I played this as a little kid thinking, "well this is just a rip-off of Doom" and feeling all superior about my game preferences.
