    To me classic games should be including everything up until the PS1, anything after that like the N64 should be considered modern. At most, the N64 can be considered classic. The term "modern" doesn't mean the same thing as "current".

    Just look at comic books. The Modern Age is everything from the mid 80's until present day. Stuff doesn't get moved over or reclassified just because something newer comes out.

    Hate to tell you this, but what constitute the comic 'modern age' is just as heavily debated. The 'modern age' certainly doesn't include the 80s and 90s any more. That's firmly in the 'Dark Age' of comics. From Watchmen to... I'd say the launch of Ultimate Marvel and the popularization of super-hero movies.

    The term 'Modern age' is a sliding term any way. It encompasses what is presently modern. More then likely the current comic generation will be known as 'the digital age' once time moves on and new aspects of the industry take over.
