That's not how "retro" works. If a song came out today, as opposed to any number of Green Day songs, which came out in the 90s, and 2000s, are considered retro.
You don't have to do anything different with todays songs vs Green Day songs. You can play them just the same way.
Yet one is clearly retro.
Music and games aren't quite the same deal. If you need specialized equipment to play a game, it's retro.
That's just the cord that came with the system, nothing very special about it. And it's still perfectly compatible with modern TVs
Modern TVs in the US don't have the coaxial RF jack...
I bought a brand new TV around Christmas and it came with one.
An adaptor costs like 10-15 bucks anyway
Interesting! It's absent on my Vizio and Samsung although they are nearly a decade old now. I know over-the-air RF signals are still broadcast but they're digital now.
