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.

Did you encounter any bugs or missing features?

Did you use the latest commit or the release from 2023?

Everything worked perfectly 👌

I just installed from the OpenSUSE software repository, so not sure

Wasn't aware it was a thing, I only knew about Julius, this one seems really cool!

Would love to browse a list of games like this. I know there’s a FOSS game list but it’s not exactly easy to browse. No thumbnails or descriptions or tags or anything.

My eventual favorite game of all time could be in this list and I wouldn’t know how to find it.

Oh, I have this on an aging CD-rom somewhere. This is really awesome, thanks!
