If you are playing an older game, is that act 'retro'?
You wouldn't call vintage clothing "retro"You shouldn't call clothing vintage, anyway; that term refers to wine made from a vineyard's grapes of a specific harvest year.
A classic car is never "retro"A kit car, with parts newly made in the style and having the specifications of the original design, can be though. The term "retro" for a car might be uncommon, but it is accurate and correct. Then there is the Plymouth Prowler:

The problem, most likely, is the source of the result. On-line dictionaries are made to show a consensus of how "enough people on-line *currently* use a word"--subject to change with no advance notice. So, let me post this so I can "return the favor." :)

vintage (n.)
[Old French]: vendenge, "vine-harvest"
[Latin]: vinum + de-mere "wine [vineyard]-from-take"
Note: In the 18th century, its usage added the year to indicate when the grapes of a wine were harvested. Early in the 20th century [in the 1920s], its use deviated from harvested wine to manufactured automobiles--from nature to technology. Other usages have been created, since, as deviations of this deviation.

Here's the main entry from a printed dictionary used by writing departments "for legal and technical documents":
vintage (n.): "the year in which the grapes are picked for the production of a particular wine"
Etymology: Old French "vendange"; from Latin "vindemia" (vinum "wine" + demerae "remove")

Btw, "goalpost shifting" is only a reference [to Doe's post #18 as a reply to post #3] for "retro," not [your post #20 in reply to my #12] for "vintage." Your quote removed this reference.
There are people calling ps3 retro, and i cant get behind it. Games still resemble ps3 and even 2 games.
That would be because the printed dictionaries are outdated.No. Printed dictionaries (updated after several years) are "stable reference" sources that cite well-defined and well-established uses. Without them, legally enforceable contracts could not exist; public services, manufacturing, transportation, and even grocery stores could not function.
