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

Emulate is in your future. Any modern computer, even the office computers anywhere can play PS1 games.

I ran an emulator on my laptop a few years ago but it's just not the same. Thanks for the suggestion though! I do play some Pokémon Blue, Crystal and Emerald on an emulator from time to time
