RETRO VIDEOGAMING THREADRetrogaming, also known as old-school gaming, is the hobby of playing and collecting older personal computer, console, and arcade video games. These games are played either on the original hardware, on modern hardware via emulation, or on modern hardware via ports or compilations. Participants in the hobby are sometimes known as retrogamers in the United Kingdom, while the terms classic gamers, or old school gamers are more prevalent in the United States. Similarly, the games are known as retrogames, classic games, or old-school games.[1] Retrogaming is often linked to, although not the same as, indie gaming (the hobby of playing games that are not published by any conventional publisher).[2] Additionally, the term old-school could apply to a newer game, but with features similar to those of older games, such as an "old-school RPG" which features turn-based combat and an isometric camera perspective.
