Whatever genres you like, there has got to be 100 retro games you would enjoy, with each one giving you at least 20-30 hours of fun gameplay. That's 2,000-3,000 hours of gaming - minimum! That equates to 125 days or 4 months at 24 hours a day! Assuming you play games for 2-3 hours a day, you are talking about 3 years plus of retro gaming! By the time you finished, there would be a new batch of retro games!

So let's face it, there is enough great retro that you don't really have to bother with the modern stuff and the hardware updating that goes with it! The only 'new' games I have bought in the last year has been a 2D 'Pirates in Space' Space Rangers 2 and an adventure game 'Secret Files: Tunugska'. Both of which would run on a 3 year old PC with no problem!

So with independent games becoming a bigger draw, even modern gaming for a lot of us will be modern 'retro'!
