I tried a couple of times to make https://www.reddit.com/r/cuttingedgegaming/ happen, but never reached many people. This community seems to mostly folks playing 1-2 year old games, I wonder if there are more of us who are playing older (but not “retro”) games, particularly PC games?
I’m not entirely sure what qualifies as retro but the oldest game I regularly play is the original Fallout from 1998. I mostly find myself playing games released in the 2000s and occasionally something newer if I think its a worth buying. I think the most recently released game I play is probably Half Life Alyx. I would have been a little too young to have grown up with some of them, but my family pc couldn’t handle a lot of the newer games so here we are.
Have you tried the Wasteland series?
I haven’t but I’ve heard Tim Cain talk about its influence on Fallout a lot, I’ll give it a try.
