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 tank game on Wii Sports (reminiscent of Atari Tanks but coop)
PS1 Final Fantasy Tactics (especially with mods, particularly FFT 1.3)
PC Master of Magic (especially with community mods, Caster of Magic is a favorite)
SNES Super Mario World
SNES Super Bomber Man
I personally didn't like Chrono Trigger that much.
For me, it has to be the old arcade games. So:
We rented a house with some family (tons of kids) and the arcade cabinet was a huge hit, and I'm pretty sure it'll remain a huge hit for the next 20+ years.
Also Chrono Cross, definitely one of the better stories Square has written.
Transport tycoon deluxe Counter strike Diablo 2 Path of exile Rimworld Zuma Starcraft
The best crack? OG WoW.
Jade Cocoon for PSX. The only true monster merging game. Been waiting on RujiktheComatose to change that. As a side note I would've said Armored Core but we're finally getting a new one.
Gran Turismo 2 - I have no idea why to this day, I play it atleast weekly. To me, everything about this game is timeless from the Soundtrack, selection of cards to the graphical style (it has to be played on a CRT mind you OR an emulator with some mods to fix textures and clipping properly.).
I’m a fan of some even earlier RPGs… Miracle Warriors, Phantasy Star, Phantasy Star II and Ys.
Chrono Trigger
Starcraft: Brood War
Diablo II: LoD
The GBA remakes of the pre-7 Final Fantasy
In no particular order:
Chrono Trigger
Binding of Isaac Rebirth
myhouse.wad (I know it came out this year, but goddamn it's good)
Yoshi's Island
Super Mario All-Stars + World (cheating maybe?)
Silent Hill 1, 2, and 3
Terranigma
OMORI (also recent, but also damn good)
LoZ: Majora's Mask
Pokemon 2nd gen (could totally just be nostalgia talking right here)
Tetris
Super Smash Bros Melee
Mario Kart 64
Also I keep coming back to yashum's Call of Cthulhu SMW hack.
I have a Mr. Do! arcade machine which feels pretty timeless to me.
