A gaming sub 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.

No memes please.

For me:

Breath of the Wild: 400 hours in, have done only 50% of the game. But now that TotK is out, I'm not sure if I'll ever complete BotW. Perhaps if I'm stuck on a deserted island with my Switch and have nothing better to do, I may pick it up again.
Skyrim: Countless hours, never really done much of the main storyline, always get lost in modding and optimising the game. Own it on practically all platforms too. But one of these days, I'll get to the main quest...
Dangerous Dave: Been playing this DOS game on and off since 1990 but still haven't managed to beat it. I always die around level 6/7, blasted sun keeps killing me.

Sonic 1. I got it as a kid when it came out, and still go back and play it occasionally. But I've never played through the whole game in a sitting.

I have for sonic 2 and 3 many times, though. For some reason never 1.

Honourable mention: skyrim

Dangerous Dave is a classic as well, though I never gave it a good effort. Looks like you can play it in-browser on archive.org. What a world.
