What do you consider the cut-off point for retro? I say the PS1.

You're not going to please everybody. GBA seems reasonable, but autists will cry foul over that also including the PS2.

>all these people defining retro by console gens

What about pc games then?

15 years after the game's release seems like the only sensible choice.

My cut-off isn't strict, but here are a few ideas:

1. Gamestop doesn't sell it in-store.

2. Released more than (10, 15, 18, 20, 25+) years ago.

3. A current 8-year old will look at it as unplayable garbage.

I consider GBA sort of retro, because feels mostly like a SNES with even lower resolution.

PS2 fits a few of the above criteria and the kids aren't playing it anymore, but I wouldn't really use the term "retro". We need a new term for "sort of old" systems.

Retro is everything up until the 16 bit era

PS1/N64. Dreamcast is pushing it, and anything afterwards is not retro.
