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.

Adventure Island (NES) / Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

I mostly picked these two on a whim, when I couldn't decide on what to play before sleep.

I can't really focus on playing anything "seriously" at the moment so I don't expect to stick with and finish either of the games any time soon but they're a good fit for short sessions and that's good enough for now.

Adventure Island was an especially interesting choice as I haven't played any NES games in a while and will have to get used to how they play again. At least it's not too difficult yet.
