gaming How long does retro go?

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

[Chara 1,565]

I would say 20 years and such maybe.

PS2 is 15 years old. We were calling Ps1 retro when the PS3 came out. I'd say after 2 gens, or after about a decade

Whenever is old enough that you hold nostalgia for it or call back to your childhood memories for it. Obviously it's going to change from person to person.

Everything becomes retro after 1 year. Marketing and technology advances quickly.

I don't know, I don't really consider Assassin's Creed: Unity retro.

[cmarston1 5,965]

I don't really know.

I guess I would say that something is retro after a decade passes.

I think retro is something before 2000

When I think of retro, I think of all systems up to the Sega Dreamcast.

I think retro is a personal preference. I think anything I consider nostalgic to my childhood retro, so that's around 2005-6ish. Others might be older or younger.

I'd say anything up to 1950 is getting to be antique, then 1950 up to 1970 is vintage. Anything from 1970 to 1995ish would be retro for me, but the older the more retro it is. Anything after 2000 is modern, in my opinion. I think it requires that a culture change took place in order to make the previous culture retro.

Inb4 everything was better in the 1990s.
