retro games

Retro games refer to video games that were created in the past, often during the late 20th century, particularly from the 1970s to the 1990s. These games typically feature simpler graphics, gameplay mechanics, and sound compared to modern titles. Retro games often evoke nostalgia due to their significance in gaming history and their influence on the development of contemporary video games. They can include classic arcade games, home console games, and early computer games. Retro games are celebrated within gaming communities and may be revived through re-releases, remakes, or emulation on modern platforms. The term can also encompass the aesthetics and cultural icons associated with these earlier gaming eras.
