retrostylized

To give the effect or appearance of being from the past, specifically the 1980's, to any work of art, music, or video game.

Retrostylization is becoming a popular style used in art, media, and advertising, as the children of that particular era are becoming adults.

This term was coined by Paul Hubans to describe his game, MADHOUSE.

Wow man, have you played MADHOUSE? It was made in 2004 but it has retrostylized graphics to give the appearance of looking just like a Nintendo game! Sweet!

Get the retrostylized mug.

retrosip

When drinking something causes a vivid flashback to something you drank before, whose taste suddenly resumes in your mouth, usually in a negative way (something you got too drunk from, something that caused a bad hangover, etc.).

Tends to be instantaneous and fleeting like any other type of flashback.

Referential to/influenced by the acid flashback term, "retrotrip".

I'm avoiding things that remind me of alabama slammers this week (anything punch-red, anything with 4+ ingredients, etc.) because I don't want to RETROSIP. You know, like RETROTRIP?
