"When Is A Video Game Console Considered 

To Be Retro?"

 

It's a question we see pop up on Twitter and video games Forums from time to time and it got us thinking of how retrogaming could potentially be defined.

So, we've had a go at creating The Games Freezer Retronometer….

 

This is not an exact science so we are open to amendment and opinion but this is how we see it……

 

There are 5 points on the Games Freezer Retronometer scale.

 

5 being Retrogaming Classic

1 being Recent / Current Consoles

5 Retrogaming Classic 

This has got to be the late 70's early 80's machines such as Atari 2600, Magnavox Odyssey, Atari 5200 etc

 4 Retrogaming Tape Systems

Retrogaming systems such as the Spectrum ZX, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC etc

3 Retrogaming 80's & 90's Cartridge Giants

These include such beauties as Nintendo Entertainment System, SEGA Master System, Super Nintendo, Megadrive / Genesis

2 Non Retrogaming CD Era Giants

These include PS1, XBOX, PS2 and the Cartidge rebel N64!

1 Non Retrogaming Recent / Current consoles

These are XBOX 360, PS3, Wii along with the new kids on the block XBOX One, PS4 and Wii U
