What kind of game can I make?

I'm thinking of making a PS1 inspired game, but I'm not sure if you can make games from the the 5th generation. Could you please tell us the specific requirements for the type of game that's allowed.  For example, is there a limit to the console generation? Can you only make 2D games? Can you only make games inspired by retro consoles or can you make games similar to retro PC games, and where does that limit sit? Late 80s? Mid 90s?

There's no real limitation for what counts as retro in this jam, if you think something is retro, then it counts! This could be an older system, be it the Atari or the PS2, or you could focus on a specific art style, old trend, soundtrack, genre, you decide! We intentionally used a more open term, both to not restrict participants' creativity too much, and because we have a more specific theme we'll announce once the jam begins!

Ok. PS1 game is is then :)
