Does a Rubik's Cube count?

What exactly is retro? I'd imagine anything N64/Playstation era and anything beyond that, but then again I've seen others' opinions differ.

I have to get back to Chrono Trigger ona these days. Worried about the Epoch glitch happening on me again, though. Have gotten pretty far in Donkey Kong Country 3, I think to one level called Croc-shot Kroc or something like that. Not sure if I'll ever manage to get past it, though.

I kept it open ended because of that Whatever YOU feel is retro is fine, I personally believe Gamecube/PS2/XBox are retro in it's own way I'm also playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 and 4 right now too for example

I play so few modern games that playing older games doesn't feel "retro" to me. It's like watching Star Wars and calling it retro...or Ghostbusters. I don't know, maybe those aren't the best analogies.

Anyway, I've been playing Ultima IV lately.

I'm playing the original PS1 "Rayman" on my PS3. I just got through Rayman 3D, and I also got the platinum trophy in Rayman Origins recently.

UFO enemy unknown, or the series anyway.
the actual game is a remake but it does stay true to the feel of the original

(then again i always have a ufo campaign going, some times i simply dont play for a week or two)

It is pretty hard, but it's a good game.

I'm getting back into the 7th guest in my breaks from skyrim....although if I could find a non-glitched copy of Vampire the Masquerade, I'd be playing that instead!
Don't know if that's considered retro though.

I've been getting back into Rebelstar: Tactical Command on the GBA lately. I wouldn't call that retro, though.
