Retro Games (ゲーム*)?, also referred to as Video Games, are items in Persona 5.
Appearances[]
Profile[]
Retro games can be played on the protagonist's TV and game console in Leblanc's attic. The protagonist will first need to buy a CRT Television and a Famidrive from the second-hand shop in Yongen-Jaya. Each individual game needs to be bought separately as well.
In order to complete a game, the protagonist needs to spend several sessions to complete each chapter. However, the protagonist will have to play through several minigames, which are assigned in specific ways depending on the chapter. He needs to clear them in order to proceed, otherwise, he'll need to start the chapter another time if he wishes to continue.
The protagonist will receive Social Stat points per session. Generally, it will be two notes if he passes a chapter, and one if he fails, but for certain games, he will always receive two stat points.
After playing any game at least once, the protagonist can get and read the book Game Secrets, which will have him unlock cheat codes while playing, making the games easier to complete.
In Persona 5 Royal, certain games will only prevent point loss for failing at the 1st attempt: from the 2nd attempt onward, failing will always give only one point, no matter the game. Additionally, a new game, called Featherman Seeker, has been added to the collection.

Trivia[]
- Almost every game, like the DVDs, references a real-world counterpart.
- Star Forneus is Star Force.
- Punch Ouch is Punch-Out!!
- Train of Life is The Game of Life.
- Power Intuition is Power Instinct, also developed by Atlus. Their kanji (豪血寺一味 and 豪血寺一族, respectively) are also similar.
- Gambla Goemon is Ganbare Goemon.
- The 8-bit music playing during the retro game segments has been composed by Kenichi Tsuchiya and Atsushi Kitajoh.
- The Retro Games follow extremely basic rules, normally programmed within 5 key variables or so: for example, Star Forneus only counts presses detected by the X button, a timer that gradually goes down with every frame, and a boolean primarily used to determine victory and failure.
- Regardless of that, the activity itself has one of the more dynamic dialogue trees in the game, which even includes different responses from Morgana if a session is played through a second time.
