It is argued that the main reasons players are drawn to retrogames are nostalgia for different eras, the idea that older games are more innovative and original, and the simplicity of the games that requires less hours of gameplay. Retrogaming has existed since the early years of the video game industry, but was popularized with the popularity of the Internet and emulation technology.
Similarly, the games are known as retrogames, classic games, or old school games. Participants in the hobby are sometimes known as retrogamers in the United Kingdom, while the terms "classic gamers" or "old school gamers" are more prevalent in the United States.

Emulation involves newer systems simulating old gaming systems, while ported retrogaming allows games to be played on modern hardware via ports or compilations. Vintage retrogaming includes games that are played on the original hardware. Retrogaming has three main activities vintage retrogaming, retrogaming emulation, and ported retrogaming. It is typically put into practice for the purpose of nostalgia, preservation or the need to achieve authenticity. Usually, retrogaming is based upon systems that are obsolete or discontinued. Retrogaming, also known as classic gaming and old school gaming, is the playing and/or collecting of older (or older versions of) personal computers, consoles, and/or video games (generally arcade), in contemporary times.
