>> Is 20 years enough to be retro? Even more important, do you feel old(er) all of a sudden?

Oh no, there's nothing sudden here - I keep getting bombarded with news that keep making me feel old, so at this point it's just expected. The only thing that really changes is what makes me feel old each time, because newer and newer stuff ends up getting old. Those 20-year-old consoles have definitely felt quite old for a good while now, even though at the same time they do still feel quite close to what we have now. After all, the games we play are still very similar to what they were during that generation - I don't think games have evolved all that much since. I feel like that was the point at which gaming had matured close to what it is now, whereas before it progress was more noticeable.
