r/RetroGaming is very strict about retro. They say the Nintendo 64 is retro while the PlayStation 2 is modern. This despite the fact the PlayStation 2 is now 25 years old.
So I got to wonder about this community deems as “retro”.
Or a better question: what’s considered retro and not retro? What’s the fine line between retro and modern?
Anything that needs to be played on a CRT.
I’d say, at 50, imo anything 32 bit and below is retro but there needs to be a new name for the “old” stuff that is 64bit
Old games don’t need to be played on a CRT any more than modern games need to be played on an OLED/LCD flat panel.
They’ll lag if you don’t.
So Gameboy isn’t retro?
