Sometimes media are produced in an intentionally old-fashioned style, designed with the intentional appearance of being decades older than is actually the case.

** And it doesn't just end there! How about [[Chrono Trigger]], [[Final Fantasy IV|Final Fantasy 4,]] [[Final Fantasy V|5,]] [[Final Fantasy VI|and even 7,]] plus [[Samurai Shodown]] RPG, [[Digimon]], [[Heroes of Might and Magic]], [[Warriors Orochi]] and, for a dessert, [[RPG|RPGs]] based on [[The King of Fighters]] '95 and '96 by the rival company, ''Nanjing''? The list is not ended yet.

* Eggman's Sonic Simulator in the Wii version of ''[[Sonic Colors]]'' uses 8-bit-style "demixes" of the normal stage themes.

* The logos for Aperture Laboratories in "The Fall" in ''[[Portal 2]]''. In the earliest section built in the 1950s, it's called "Aperture Science Innovators" with a symbol for an atom. For the 1970s, it's a very typical 70s yellow logo. The items in each test are also designed to look like older versions of the main testing rooms and equipment from ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' and the first part of Portal 2.

* The [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s Virtual Console allows you to play Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, and added a few Retraux touches to enhance the experience: for example, on original Game Boy games it's possible to swap between a grayscale screen and a green screen that emulates the look of the original Game Boy, even including a motion blur similar to that in the old system. It's also possible to view the games in their original resolution, with a border representing the original system surrounding the screen- the 3DS's 3D effect is used to give the appearance of the screen being set back from the border, and they even emulated the battery light dimming as the 3DS's battery runs low.
