Generations apart
Who is Paul Rose?

Retro means different things to different generations. Though I’m now unfathomably old, I still think of a lot of the games I played in my 20s and 30s as ‘new’. That weird time-speeding-up effect we get as we grow older means that the past three decades feel like they lasted about two weeks, whereas the preceding 20 years seem like another lifetime ago.
