For the purposes of this community, "retro" means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and games for those platforms released through roughly 2007. This means that the Xbox, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and PlayStation 2 are the cutoff consoles.

Just got all my consoles hooked up. I've been playing Castlevania:SOTN on Sega Saturn (English translation) and loving it. What are you playing?

It's a classical roguelike, not a console game so a bit off topic from your original post but still a retro experience, there is a modern fork called nlarn that is still being developed and is comparable in gameplay to other modern traditional roguelikes such as Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and Brogue, but the Dos and Amiga versions are surely the true retro way of experiencing it
