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.

What game feels 'timeless' to you? (lemm.ee)

For me it's Chrono Trigger. I always want to play it. I want to show it to my children. I hope it will be regarded as a masterpiece for generations to come.

Ever played Chrono Trigger randomized? After playing it so many times it was fun playing with a new perspective

The best crack? OG WoW.

I’m a fan of some even earlier RPGs… Miracle Warriors, Phantasy Star, Phantasy Star II and Ys.

Metroid Prime. I don't have a gamecube, and I so wish I did. That game got so many hours out of me and nothing has come close since.

For me fallout 3 played the originals when they first came out (yes I'm old) and loved fallout 4 but fallout 3 will always be my favorite because not only did they resurrect a classic but they did it amazingly well

Also Chrono Cross, definitely one of the better stories Square has written.

If you love FF Tactics, check out FFT 1.3

http://ngplus.net/InsaneDifficultyArchive/www.insanedifficulty.com/idwiki/index243a.html?title=Final_Fantasy_Tactics_1.3

and the solid custom stories/mods built on the FFT engine

https://ffhacktics.com/

There are some phenomenal rebalances and new stories for the original PS1 (and PSP if you prefer) engine.

FFT 1.3 is legitimately challenging (there's an easy mode that's worth playing too), ungimps the AI, and makes some fights quite hard. It completely rebalances classes to make them all useful and interesting.

I have a Mr. Do! arcade machine which feels pretty timeless to me.

Ms. Pac Man.

It's such a good game to play in an arcade.

[–] plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

Uniracers for the Snes still looks, sounds and plays great. It's like a 2d Tony hawk racing game with unicycles.

Can't believe Nethack doesn't top the list.
