Really? Dreamcast is 20 freakin years old lol. How old does something have to be before it’s retro? N64 is 22 years old. |
Retro is 8 bit, 16 bit. It has a style that represents the origins of gaming. I don't really care one way or another. I was just using your post to highlight the difficulties that users will have with defining this forum. Trust me, I'm not the only one who would take exception to you referring to a 128 bit system (and the most technologically advanced graphics-wise of its generation) as a "retro" console. Obviously as time marches on a new nomenclature is needed to define eras of gaming. But hey, I suppose if everyone thinks that the DC, PlayStation, and Gamecube classify as retro gaming that that's what that word means now. We'll just have to figure out an industry standard word that refers to the original nes/snes/genesis/master system, among others, because they certainly don't fall into the same category.
