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'm playing King's Field: The Ancient City via RetroDeck (I would never have the patience for that game without abusing the save states feature).

Having played the series back on original hardware, I can confirm it was a nightmare. Save states make old games so much better.
