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.

It seems no one has posted a link to the promo yet, so... just getting that out of the way.

Edit: As far as recommendations, I haven't actually played, or even heard of most of the games, but Double Dragon Trilogy for $1.19 feels like a no-brainer if you like retro or arcade beat-em-ups. I don't think I've played them since the early 90s, so it might be nice to revisit them.

Double Dragon 1 and 2 have terrible slow down issues. This isn’t a bad port, this is from the original games. It can get nearly unplayable at certain points.

Double Dragon 3 is just not very good. The Mega Drive port runs a little bit better than the arcade though.
