The /vr/ ruleset seems poorly thought out, at least according to the sticky. Is the intention to exclude true 3D console games/32bit era games so that people can speak about a certain era in each respective camp? As in, the golden age of consoles, PC games, and arcades? If so, why not word it something like:"Welcome to retro games.This board is for the discussion of classic, or 'retro' games. Retro gaming means computer games and arcade games (including pinball and other similar games you would find in an arcade) that existed before the year 2000, and consoles from the fourth generation and earlier."
Welcome to Retro Games.This board is for the discussion of classic, or 'retro' games. Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games circa 1999 and earlier. Note that 'Sixth generation', and later consoles are not considered retro.
I've removed the part about fifth-gen consoles. 1999 is still the cut off year. Everyone is going to have a different definition of retro. A line, however arbitrary, has to be drawn somewhere.
Let's party like it's 1999 then.I attached this... possibly the only good thing to come out of /v/...
>>2334Would have been better if it were merely replaced with a ban on sixth generation and later IMHO. There are some people in /vr/ who are pushing Dreamcast and even Gamecube and PS2 games now.
