What is a Retro Game?

A video game is retro if it is now classic or inspired by past games.

 

Retro games often feature visuals resembling the 1980s and 1990s, commonly pixel-styled graphics.

Modern retro games try and directly emulate gameplay, level design, aesthetics, and core mechanics of old games.

   

This is where Tags come in.
