The lack of any comment saying "Half life is not retro gaming" is concerning to me.

Half Life came out in 1998 (27 years ago) and this post is from 2003 (22 years ago). Half Life is retro gaming.

And I still haven't gotten past the crabs suddenly showing up and eating your face. I got as far as the flooded corridor and could never find my way out.

I feel like gaming generations are distinct from hardware generations, and we mostly haven't moved on much from whatever gaming gen Half Life is in.
