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

I'll have to check about the backwards compatibility, I'm sure a newer device would be easier to buy. I did have a PS2 once but I must have sold it... Maybe it went towards a Wii?

Rereading, one part of what I said wasn't clear: Emulators themselves you should be able to find for PC and phones. And if on PC, you should be able to play directly from the disc drive.

I've got a $50 game boy wanna-be clone that I bought on Amazon on my bedside table, thing runs PS1 games smoothly. It ain't quite the same obviously, but it just about scratches the same itch (plus it's portable, I've enjoyed playing it on the train to and from work for example).
