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.

Have you really never heard of GOG? It's an awesome platform. They allow you to actually buy games so you can 100% own them drm free. No Steam or whatever other game launcher is needed. Also they specialize in older games, so it's perfect for this use case.
Well, games used to and still run on MS DOS, so Win 7 really isn't an issue.
Actually the opposite is true. I don't know of a single game where the devs patched out something so it stops working on the OS it released on.
I get the feeling you're just being contrarian on purpose now. Most, if not all games released on win 7 will still run on win 7 now, and will continue doing so forever, period. That's exactly why OP is asking for cool games from that era.
