I think it worth going over what "retro" or "vintage" means In these contexts because: setting up DOS retro game PCs can be very different than hacking/upgrading retro microcomputers to connect to a home network and even get on the internet. Both are quite distinct from microcomputer "8-bit" gaming, which is often done with various types of physical or virtual emulators, but programming old flavors of BASIC, or other languages, has different requirements. And getting and using a CRT, including just an old tube TV with retro set-ups can literally be a "gamechanger". I know buyers and sellers often have wildly different understandings of "retro", let alone the inherently slippery "vintage" tag!
