Old school is the spirit of games from yesteryear: high but fair difficulty, large levels with secrets, and minimal hints and tutorials. This label is given to both true classics and new games that consciously return to those principles — whether shooters, role-playing games, or platformers.
Retro is more about style: graphics, sound, and the aesthetics of the past. Old school is about design and feel: complexity, freedom, and respect for the player.
