How old does a game have to be to be considered retro? Some of my favorite games were made over ten years ago but I wouldn't think of them as "retro" games. Is it an aesthetic or style? Or maybe a particular design philosophy, which old controls (tank controls, for example).

>Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier. With the release of the 8th generation of consoles, the Sega Dreamcast will now be considered "retro", though the remainder of the sixth generation (Xbox, PS2, GameCube) will not.

Read the sticky, dumb dumb.

The rules need to be updated to include 6th gen. There's no excuse for not being able to talk about near 2 decade old hardware.

The "retro" era is the pre-HD / CRT TV era.

PERIOD.

So anything up through 6th gen should be allowed.
