Personally, I define "retro gaming" as anything before Gen 5, which was when gaming effectively and almost completely shifted from 2D to 3D. Of course, I was born in 1980, and the PS1 & N64 weren't released until I was in high school, so I grew up with 2D being the norm. Younger generations will probably have different conceptions of what constitutes "retro," as will people that use a "Anything older than x years" metric (which I don't use because it makes me feel old; my local classic rock station now regularly plays 90s rock, which was new during my preteen & teenage years).

It's like we're the same person or something. 1981, myself.

What everyone calls retro gaming, I just grew up knowing as gaming.

And 1982 for me, and can claim pretty much the same things as you two do
