/vr/ - Retro Games

None of the games we call retro are actually retro, they are old. Shovel Knight is a retro game, Mega Man 2 is an old game.

That said around here it's usually roughly 20 years or so.

>Nowadays you only ever see the famous long-lived companies releasing new games for the same 4~5 franchises they own,

That's because it's all you're looking at. Actually delve into the games that are available and you'll see there's not only far more games coming out these days, but also of more variety in terms of gameplay and experimentation than there ever was in the 80's and 90's.

Things really aren't that different now than they were. If you just read the odd magazine and went by other ads you'd think most gaming then was just Mario, Zelda, Sonic, Street Fighter, maybe megaman and Castlevania. Games like Wardener, Humans, Gaiares etc would probably never be noticed.
