MODERATORS
"older" doesn't have a specific meaning for me, could mean Atari or could mean 10-15 years ago depending on context.
But "retro" is definitely anything before the 3D era, even though I played a lot of games before 3D kicked off in earnest. It's just such a clean divide for me.
Technically I guess I started playing games when there were a very small number of 3D titles floating around. I didn't have any of those though, and I upgraded from NES to SNES about 4 years after the SNES released.
