There is a part of me that feels anything after Megadrive/SNES can't be retro as they are all the same dimension of gameplay.
For example if you compare Gran Turismo (1997) on PS1 with Gran Turismo 7 (2022) on PS5 they play almost identical and overall the experience is near identical. You cant say the same when you compare Mario World (1990) to Mario 64 (1996)
The next giant leap for mankind in gaming terms will be when or if we get a Holodeck moment like on Star Trek TNG where we play in a real environment or a Matrix moment where we just plug our brains in to connect to a simulation that is indistinguishable from reality.
If that does happen it will probably be when we have all long gone like the 22nd century or mabee even later.
The Playstation library is stupidly good. We probably wont get a console like that again with so many brilliant titles being released in such a short period of time. Every single game genre was covered and to the highest quality!
I mean in a 5yr period Square alone released Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, Chrono Cross, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy Tactics, Xenogears and Parasite Eve 1 & 2. It really was the best time to be a gamer and even better if you were in your teen years! I had 4 paper rounds at one point so i could afford all the great games that were coming out as xmas & birthday money wasn't enough!
