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.

Top 10-25 games articles are all the same and obvious. Are there some less known or even obscure games, including bad-that-it's-good ones, we can have fun with? What's your experience with them? Bonus points if you played via an emulator.

I've not used a PS3 emulator but here are some suggestions.

Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Classics HD (mainly for ico, but both are good)

Arland Atelier Trilogy, it's cute

blazblue series, they are just really good fighting games with a fun story.

Final Fantasy IX for the ps1 but I had to recommend it anyways.

Catherine, great puzzle game.

Thanks. I've played SoC and Cathrine, and am afraid of FF series. I'd check others.

Not sure what scares you about the FF series, but each entry is generally a completely standalone title. You can generally play them in any order unless you're trying to "experience the whole series"...and that's only because there are some games that are basically "Like this older FF, but better!"

FF9 is a great starting point if you can put up with PS1 loading times.
