Talking about old and older obscure abstract games
Panic Button is a 1978 uncredited game, published at Mego Co.
The game is played on a 8x8 board which is split in four rotating quadrants:
This is a Checkers-like game, with multiple short-jumps to capture adversary pieces. The original element is the possibility for a player to rotate the board within itself.

Most of the early posts about new games came from playtesting and discussions between João Pedro Neto and Bill Taylor. But even before Bill's passing on July 2021, the blog had gradually shifted its focus toward old and obscure two-player abstract board games.

Regarding the chronological tags: older games means 1800s-1940s (pre-WW2),
old games means 1950-1989 (pre-video games),
new games means 1990-2005 (at least for now).
