Pretty much the whole of Dreamcast. I bought one when I was already in the army, so I guess it must've been somewhere around 2009 or something like that. Before that I had only seen my friend play some random games on his years before. An awesome console and an awesome library of games for such a short lifespan. Let's see, what else...
I got into the Final Fantasy series rather late. I played Tactics Advance when it came out in 2003 and it was my first FF game. After that I went into the previous games in the series, namely FFVII and the original. I've bought every main series title from between those since and a couple of spinoffs too.
After playing pretty much every single Resident Evil title out there I finally bought Dino Crisis, Dino Crisis 2 and Dino Stalker a few years back.
I didn't play Sonic the Hedgehog until 20something, don't remember the exact year, and loved it.
I hadn't even heard of White Day: A Labyrinth Named School until late 2012 and I didn't look into it until late last year. Man is it a great horror game. I mean, REALLY good. Such a shame it has fallen into obscurity.
Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet is another great obscure horror/adventure game. I found it on Abandonia a few years back and thought it looks gorgeous for a DOS game. Such great animation on the sprites.
I don't think this really counts but I only got into Corpse Party after playing the PSP port of the remake of the remake, about 16 years after the game was originally released. The reason I don't think it counts is because the PSP version was the first one to ever get a Western release. I did go and play the original remake (such a weird thing to say) later on, though.
