 Where does 'old' begin for you?

I've never owned a console, but I've been playing games on machines since the days of
Space Invaders in the 70s and computers since Kong on a Kaypro running CP/M in the 80s.

While I'd surely say that gameplay is *the* thing as far as the fun is concerned, there are a
few clear cut-off points, as others have mentioned, supported resolution being the most
obvious.

For me today, I'd particularly cite Mass Effect, recently reissued in the Legendary Edition to
milk the old cow again. I'd class Mass Effect 1 as an *old game*, even in its legendary
incarnation, whereas I think 2 and 3 still seem decent enough not to be classed as *old*.

Tamam shud!
