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.

The first rule of gaming articles/posts: you do not mention the game titles

I hate this. I understand when a for-profit company tries to do this. But too many posts hide the game titles for no reason.

Suprised I've never heard of this game. Doubly surprised that it is the technological predecessor to Prince of Persia! Anyone who's played PoP knows how impressive the rotoscoped animation was for the time.

Impossible Mission is my favorite rotoscoped game, but Karateka was a close second!

The gist of it is that they are making The Making of Karateka. Which appears to be basically the same thing as a director commentary for a movie but a game. You can play different versions and jump into the game during recorded bits.

Kotaku's pretty clickbaity, so adding a blurb would help saving a click.

I love this. Commentary tracks are a huge part of movies for me (I hate how streaming services usually omit them). Definitely should do more of that for games.
