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.

Linda Cubed Again, for the Playstation 1. It’s a Japanese RPG released in 1997, with an English fan translation released last year (after 10 years of work!)
I was surprised by some of the systems implemented in the game: a working bank system, some locations change over time, dynamic weather with effects on the environment (i.e. rainfall can flood lower levels of caves), and more.
There’s a youtube video that goes over the story, but overall I’d say it’s a pretty solid pokemon-like that deserves more attention. I should mention that the game is pretty dark and features a lot of taboos. The github link describes them in a content warning section, in case you want to try it for yourself
