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 tried a couple of times to make https://www.reddit.com/r/cuttingedgegaming/ happen, but never reached many people. This community seems to mostly folks playing 1-2 year old games, I wonder if there are more of us who are playing older (but not "retro") games, particularly PC games?

I just played through the first Fallout game earlier this year. I guess that puts me on a 25 year lag. I've been playing a bit of Atari 2600 games too, but that's more for work related reasons than for entertainment.

Do you get paid to play pitfall? Or Missile Command?

I was an eight-year-old god at pitfall and Missile Command.
