10 genuinely good old games you’ve completely forgotten about

A collection of brave, innovative, strange and trailblazing games gathering dust.

Our constant curiosity for the new quickly pushes quality old games down the order of the pile of shame. Something catches our eye, we put it on our Steam wishlist and visualize ourselves playing it in some wistful future where we have free time. And then we go back to playing Skyrim. 

And all the while, a collection of brave, innovative, strange and trailblazing games gathers dust. Before you know it, Titanfall 2 is turning up on classic games lists and eBayers are selling ‘retro’ refurbished PS4s. 

But you made it here into this article, so there’s no need to worry. You swam against the tide of the new and have found a haven where 10 of yesteryear’s finest and most under-appreciated games have been hanging out. Too old to still be installed on your machine, too recent to get a remaster, they’re very quietly maturing. It’s finally time to play some of these – they’ve been waiting for you.
