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 wanted to try out Dune for the first time and it just didn't power on. I am not ok. I took a look inside and cleaned it, but there's no obvious loose connections. Today is a sad day for me

Sounds like a great time to get into handheld emulation devices. PS1 will run on just about anything.

Nah, it's not the same. There's something more visceral and real about playing with the original hardware and controller, for me anyway

Nah, it's totes the same.

Use a playstation controller on your emulator.
