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.

They put Reatroachievements on Gamecube games so apparently I'm now balls deep into OG Animal Crossing. Don't even know how it happened, but Tom Nook is saying my kneecaps are at risk if I don't come up with 150K bells by the end of the month.

Man, that Nook is teaching everybody hard truths about capitalism.

Holy shit, by bringing this site to my attention I think you may have ruined my life, but fuck it. I'm going in.

It is really cool. I don't always love the achievement design some of the volunteer coders land on, but it's still a wonderful way to revitalize old games. And the recently added completion tracking stats, where you don't just get an award for 100% every achievement, but also for beating the main campaign, is incredibly fun and useful to track which games you've playted through. Sony and Microsoft should steal that immediately.
