What is retro?

Postby Lunar51 on Sat May 12, 2012 3:49 pm

I've always been confused as to what games/consoles contribute as retro.
In this day of new consoles and games coming out all the time, the lines are blurred i reckon.
So that's my question!
What games/consoles are considered "retro"?

If we could only answer this question.... peace and harmony would reign.
