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.

Assuming the equipment was also saved so you could still play the games, and every game in existence you don’t mention gets permanently destroyed, and no new games are ever to be made.

Inspired by a video by OutsideXbox from a few years ago, I thought it would be a fun idea to see what this community would choose. You can choose to be selfish and pick games you personally want to always play, or try to figure out what games would be best chosen for humanity to save for whatever reason. I’d also love to hear why you chose your games. Do they have a special meaning to you? I want to hear your stories.

Logically, these must be hell of a repayable ones.

Not necessarily my favorites, but a really nice list imoMinecraft The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ Skyrim Diablo 2 HD Warcraft 3 TFT +tons of custom maps

My personal must-havesPsychonauts (though choice between 1 and 2, but I feel that 1 is more cult classic) NFS Most Wanted 2005 Minecraft (with a juicy mod like TPPI or the 1.12.1 pack) GTA SA (even tho VC is my fav, SA has more stuff to do) WoW WotLK Azerothcore Single player.
