    I think my mind is frozen in time, because the line for what is “retro” to me is solidly between the transition from 2D to 3D.

      For me it’s anything prior to 360/PS3, because from then on the graphical and gameplay leaps have been incremental compared to what came before. You really don’t consider N64 or PSX retro?

        Hmm, I guess N64 would be to me. Maybe because I didn’t have PlayStations (went from Nintendo to Xbox), they all seem more modern to me.

        Maybe it’s more accurate to draw my mental line as cartridge consoles vs CDs.
