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.

It has been a while since the last one. So...

Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old.

If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be a plus.

That game's closer to 20+ years old. It's been a very long time since I've played it. It was way back when gaming on Linux was mostly limited to games that had a native Linux release.

I knew about its initial release but had no clue whether it was the same team or an offshoot so I settled for a safe 10 years.

I recommend picking it back up if you enjoyed the campaigns. It’s just recently reached a third renaissance with an abundance of new fan content. No clue why.

My bet, A youtuber discovered the game and made videos that did reasonably well in the indie audience, then other youtubers picked up and it snowballed some. I've been seeing more coverage of the game on youtube for a couple of years now.
