Remember+the+Days

On February 14, 1962, Steve Russell, Peter Samson, Martin Graetz, and Wayne Wiitanen brought to life Spacewar!, one of the oldest games played on the PDP-1.

Spacewar! can be considered a retro game. Retro games are old games or classic games, such as Snake, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, and Mario Super Smash Brothers. A game is considered retro once it has become obsolete or discontinued. Retro games are those that were originally released during the 1970s and late 2000s, however, some  are still able to be purchased and played today.

Most retro games that people play today are actually remastered versions, but still contain the nostalgic feel of the original. Re-releases such as Crash Bandicoot and Spyro are retro games risen from the grave. New installments like Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild are produced with new technology, but still contain that retro game style.
