    Thanks everyone for your suggested words. I have passed them over to my partner who would consider them.. Thanks again for being so quick :)

    Depending on context, you could also consider "retro" or "boneyard"!!

    Agreed, for games.

    It applies to any software, not just games, but admittedly seems to have been picked up by the old DOS gaming community.
