You just cited a single rule (and remember, it's another rule, just lile this board's) from some entity that only applies to cars.
The same way you claim retro is 20 years, someone younger could come and claim it's 10.
But it'd still doesn't matter because the year 1999 will continue to have happened on a specific point in time and you won't be able to change that.

To the extent that history is continuous and not generalized, all systems of periodization are more or less arbitrary. Yet without named periods, however clumsy or imprecise, past time would be nothing more than scattered events without a framework to help us understand them.

No fucking one claims that 50 years is the minimum amount of time to be called merely classic, but if you want to say something is a "golden classic" then 50-100 years does come into play.

I'm willing to accept 5th, and it's not that hard to rationalize it. There were plenty 2D games, and 3D games weren't the same as they're today, they were pretty much in their infancy.

6th gen feels and plays like any modern game. Open SA1 or PSO and it feels and plays like any other modern game. They don't feel retro in any way, shape or form.

Yes, but rules concerning what constitutes a classic game are wholly technical, or at least should be if they're going to make sense and be enforced with a straight face.

Look man you can say im seething but it doesn't change the fact that 75% of this board knows zero about video games beyond final fantasy 7 and mario 64, they can't even get MAME running, and they cant make up their mind on whether they like xenogears they need to make 5000 threads to hash it out and there's still not a clear consensus. What quality content is here that 6th gen would bury exactly?? What sets this board apart as a bastion of mature discussion that would be lost? Absolutely nothing so anything is worth a shot at this point

I know the feeling. For me, for some reason with video games, the year got stuck at 1991 for what I consider to be true blue no foolin' classic era 100%. I think it has to do with when Mortal Kombat came along and honestly tried to make games far more gory and thus new. Plus by the time Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter II, and Virtua Fighter were taking up tons of arcade space due to huge demand, it seems to end the era of the myriad of choice in arcade gaming. Made me sad and hardly anyone seemed to notice.

Zoomers can be mature and well behaved. Even the shithead zoomers can be somewhat tolerable if their ignorance is genuine, that's what being young is like. But there's nothing worse than boomers who knowingly act like shitheads, and we have plenty of those around here. I'd honestly be okay with Halo and GTA San Andreas threads if it means putting a stop to anal-retentive backseat moderating boomers taking personal offense over someone making a Deus Ex thread because they decide it's not considered retro that week.

Is this a good time to remind people that the Intellivision that came out in 1979 could download games through cable via an adapter?

You see, that's not how it works. If you think you're qualified to decide what's good for the community, you have to provide the evidence, not the other way around. The burden of proof lies on the one's asserting.
