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.

SNES when growing up. When it was released, it felt like having an arcade machine at home. The sound & 16-bit graphics with titles like TMNT Turtles in Time, Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat, Final Fight, Super Double Dragon, and T2 The Arcade Game.
I was also a PC gamer but never looked at a PC as a gaming system/console. Played games like Sim City, Sim City 2000, Doom 1 & 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Wing Commander series, Warcraft, Starcraft, Command & Conquer series, and the list goes on.
I remember SNES coming out when I was 6 and writing repeatedly on my christmas list "super nintendo" over and over until I filled up the entire page. I thankfully got it and for the next decade that was pretty much all I played. Even when the N64 came out I was unimpressed with the blocky polygon graphics. SNES games even today have aged so well. Most of my favorite RPGs of all time are on the SNES.
P.S. GBA is a close second
