And what category does the PS2, Wii, Xbox, Nintendo DS/3DS fit into? They aren't retro, but they're not really "modern" either

How I like to see it, going backwards on the timeline (you can tell mine was a PlayStation household lol);

  • PS5 Era = Modern
  • PS4 Era = Last Gen
  • PS3 Era = Transitional
  • PS2 Era = Classic
  • PSX to NES Era = Retro

Anything before that is Prehistoric.

I just remember going to GameStop back then and the nes games were in the retro section, but 2 get 1 free.

Loaded up on a ton of nes and genesis games that I never got to play.
