“Quit living in the past!” That's what people say. The here and now, and planning for the future is what matters. Sometimes the past is comfortable, though, and us humans cling to it and try to keep it alive. No community wears their rose-tinted spectacles with more pride than the gaming community, and countless modern games have banked on nostalgia to win the hearts of misty-eyed gamers the world over. Colourful 2D platformers, pixel art RPG adventures, blocky “boomer shooters” and more have graced modern platforms in recent years, proving that the market for retro-style games is thriving. The thing is; making an old-school-looking game for modern consoles is just entry level nostalgia. Having the dedication and bravery to release brand new content for long defunct platforms, that's the ultimate testament to a developer's commitment to the retro scene. Here are 10 Modern Games That Were Released on Retro Platforms
