its kinda funny because it looks dated even with the graphics overhaul in mcc but the gameplay is still solid, and there are older games that still look as good as release day but the mechanics are kinda rough. And some that always were and always will be perfect.

I feel like at this point retro is more of a style though. Graphics can only get so realistic and anything made to peak modern visual standards will be harder to differentiate from previous decades as time goes on, if we don't all die from pollution and war and other shit. Oh fuck, maybe retro will become anything that features a non-destroyed climate/environment in a world where children will be born having never seen what earth once was.
