In the late 90's to early 2000's, I considered "retro" games to be anything from the beginning of time right up the the NES. So, roughly anything that fell out of popularity about 10 years in the past. It didn't seem weird because in the late 90's, we were calling everything in the '80's retro.

> the most counterculture thing you can do is to semi-ironically eat a Happy Meal in order to support indie Gameboy devs Like Winston at the Chestnut Tree Cafe

nah, people can do whatever they want with it :)
McDonalds makes ~$23 billion per year. You deserve something.
The amount of money that McDonalds makes is completely irrelevant to how much the developer "deserves". Especially given that they released their product as open-source and explicitly sought no payment.
