Of the ones listed










Sorry in advance if your absolute favourite isn't on there, there's only space for 10 poll options ):

I tried to pick a blend of genres but I'm not super familiar with old games so I may have missed some big ones

troll topic nobody respond

is it a troll topic or is it just a humourous (at least, that was the attempt) look at the potential changing meaning of words over time, especially ones like this

like, personally, I would have no problem (and probably actually did this) calling the classic megaman games "retro" at the time the wii released. But somehow calling anything off this list retro now feels very wrong even though their age is about the same.

I wonder if I just naturally have a disinclination to think of anything 3D, or anything about a certain graphics resolution, as "retro" no matter how old it is

Like, in case you didn't realize, these are all about 15 years old (off by a few months in various directions)

That's as old as SMB was when the PS2 released

Kinda blowing my mind right now that I went to High School in the late 00's. Like I know we're barely starting the 2020's still, but damn does time fly when you get older. I wonder when I can start calling people whippersnappers...

Sometimes I wonder if a third term will spring up between "retro" and "modern" as the former category just gets bigger and bigger to the point of uselessness as a term. and if so, where the cutoff lines would be. Personally I think it makes more sense to divide it based on features in gaming or hardware than just years but I dunno

2D / SD 3D / HD 3D / VR

?

Those are old? I would have said Super Mario Brothers 3 or the original Punch Out.
