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.

I just found my childhood Gameboy pocket, opened it up, cleaned it up (it was a transparent case so definitely needed it). Have started replaying Pokémon red and having so much fun with it. The joy of hearing that power up sound.

A lot of old games don't hold up and I don't know if it's just the nostalgia but some of these Gameboy games still stand up

Honestly I think a lot of them hold up really well. They were held back by the hardware of their time.
