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.

Of course I've heard of GoG. Didn't realize they would run without the launcher or that anything at all would run on W7...
Well, games used to and still run on MS DOS, so Win 7 really isn't an issue.
Of course they used to work, that doesn't mean they'll still work today...
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.
...they don't have to.
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.
Except they didn't ask for "games of that era", they asked for a bunch of games I've never heard of, so once again, I ask you to excuse my ignorance on the matter. I'm not being contrarian, I'm literally just asking questions.
