~1990-2005-ish

1990: Mega Drive, SNES, Neo Geo
1994: Sega Saturn, Playstation
1996: N64
1998: Dreamcast
2000: PS2
2001: GameCube, Xbox
2005: Xbox 360
2006: PS3, Wii

Those are all consoles normally considered retro, except for maybe that last gen. I think the era that's missing a term is 2005-2015, but there's actually not a whole lot happening in those years. PS4 and Xbox One? The age of cheap gaming PCs?
