SNES/GEN/TG and older feel retro to me. N64/SS/PS have a lot of games I like/play but just don't have a retro feel. I guess anything that is 2D feels retro to me as when we jumped into the polygonal world of 3D, things really changed. That and a lot, a lot of the 3D games on N64/SS/PS have not aged well so that takes a lot of the good feel out of playing a "retro" game.

Indeed, quite retro. Pinball perhaps? :)

I say anything a decade or older, and yes, even the new Dreamcast games I consider retro, as they are on a retro system, with great retro gameplay.
