what is considered retro in this thread i understand every one has their own definition

>> No.5975923

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.

desu i was expecting some real horse shit responses but that really helped me so games like resident evil 1-3 would be retro and resident evil code veronica wouldn't?

growing up when people said "retro games" we all though atari and pong type shit. It's still the same way in my mind, I won't touch anything before the NES.

>i won't touch anything before the nes
yep. i have no interest in the first and second generations of video game consoles. more power to those who are, but they aren't for me

Retro is anything inspired by older gaming generations. Vintage is anything before the sixth generation of gaming, in which there was a major cultural and economical shift in the industry.

"/vintage games/" would be a more appropriate name for this board, but I guess retro sounds cooler.

It's not about the actual definition you retard, it's about the criteria the board sets and the rules the community observes. It's not about some new fag baby come in and cry that he can't talk about his own nostalgia on a board that doesn't want him. You adapt to the board or you fuck off and make your own.

Wrong.

>>5976557
No. The board is named "retro" and sets out rules for which threads are accepted. That shouldn't be confusing to anyone since they're laid out very simply. Then there's the real deffinition of the word which is different but also easy to understand.

Anything else, like your opinion on what you think "retro" should refer to is completely meaningless. There's the board rules and then the real meaning, nothing else matters.

>> No.5976564

Nice false flag thread. What is retro is clearly defined in the sticky. Now fuck off.
