* The ''Literature/VintageWorlds'' anthologies, edited by Creator/JohnMichaelGreer, contain short stories in the style of pulp science fiction set in the Old Solar System — that is, the solar system back before [[ScienceMarchesOn science had discovered]] that it was completely lifeless save for Earth, and where writers could plausibly include a vast range of different biomes, species, and alien horrors on its planets.

* ''WebVideo/GhostbleedTheBioHorror'' is presented as if it were a [[Platform/PlayStation PlayStation 1]] SurvivalHorror game from the late '90s, and as such, it goes to great lengths to emulate that look. Not only is it done almost entirely in low-poly, [=PS1=]-style 3D animation with low-resolution textures, intentionally low framerates, and even the [=PS1=]'s jittery Z-buffer taken into account, but it also begins and ends with [[LiveActionCutscene live-action cutscenes]], not unlike ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1'', which are also rendered with an intentionally low color palette and frame rate to simulate how FMV cutscenes looked on the console. The short even has loading screens in between certain scenes where the sound of a [=PS1=] disc being read can be heard.

* ''TabletopGame/MazesAndMinotaurs'' is a WhatIf on ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' if Gygax and Arneson used Greek mythology instead of medieval fantasy and it's also a playable game.
* ''Labyrinth Lord'' is a Retraux as well -- this time much closer to the original version of ''Dungeons & Dragons''
** As well as "Swords and Wizardry," which draws on [[HeroicFantasy Sword and Sorcery]] as opposed to Labyrinth Lord's HighFantasy and which also takes out the Thief, leaving us with the Fighting Man, the Magic User and the Cleric of original D&D.
** There are a fair number of other retroclones out there, including OSRIC and Basic Fantasy for 1e. In addition, the makers of "Labyrinth Lord" also made "Mutant Future," which is a close-as-you-can-get-it remake of ''TabletopGame/GammaWorld'' using the Labyrinth Lord rules.
* The games of Sine Nomine Publishing are descended from the Labyrinth Lord rules, though several mechanical subsystems (particularly the Heroic mechanics first seen in ''Scarlet Heroes'' and refined by ''TabletopGame/{{Godbound}}'' and ''TabletopGame/StarsWithoutNumber'' Second Edition) do their own thing but are designed to interface with existing OD&D mechanics. [[WordOfGod Kevin Crawford]] explains that this cross-compatibility is to make the GameMaster's job easier by letting anyone grab published modules from any other retroclone, refluff them to fit whichever Sine Nomine setting you're using, and voila, instant adventure.
* Also, ''[[http://www222.pair.com/sjohn/encounter-critical.htm Encounter Critical,]]'' deliberately designed to look like a mid-70s D&D-knockoff made by a pair of sci-fi fans.
* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'''s ''Coldsnap'' set was designed in the style of the ''Ice Age'' and ''Alliances'' sets from a decade earlier, most blatantly the use of "slowtrips," the clunky, slow version of cantrips that hadn't been used since less than a year after ''Alliances''.
** And cumulative upkeep. Don't forget that.
** The joke set ''Unhinged'', the nostalgia set ''Time Spiral'', and the online-only reprint sets all bring back retired frame designs to evoke this trope.
** A common special treatment given to various special edition cards is the retro cardframe, making them resemble cards that were released decades earlier instead of the modern ones.



* ''Chronica Feudalis'' is a historical fantasy RPG presented [[FictionalDocument as if it were based on a role-playing game created in 12th century Europe]] by medieval monks and scribes.
* The ''TabletopGame/DigimonCardGame'' released a booster set called ''Classic Collection'' which utilizes art from the original ''Hyper Colosseum'' cards for almost every card in the set, including Options. There are also rare alternate art cards with a special edition frame that matches the ''Hyper Colosseum'' frames almost exactly, with the only changes being the ones necessary to keep the cards playable in the modern game.

* At a time when shooting movies on film had fallen out of favor in Hollywood outside of the indie scene, ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'' stood out for being shot on film in order to reflect its FilmNoir style, rather than digitally as commonly done now. According to Justice Smith, this was done to pit the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' franchise against an urban backdrop. Also applies to parts of the video segment introducing Howard Clifford with news footage of him in the 1990s, with the video quality and aspect ratio being made to resemble footage from that time; and Howard having NinetiesHair to contrast his hairstyle in the present day.

* Part of the scene where Dracula is walking around in the daytime in London in ''Film/BramStokersDracula'' looks like color film from [[TheGayNineties the late 1800s' early 1900s']] because the production team got a hold of a period camera, put some modern film inside, and recorded the footage they needed for that scene.
* The [[https://www.marvel.com/captainmarvel official website]] for ''Film/CaptainMarvel2019'' is done '90s style, to reflect the film's setting.
* At a time when shooting movies on film had fallen out of favor in Hollywood outside of the indie scene, ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'' stood out for being shot on film in order to reflect its FilmNoir style, rather than digitally as commonly done now. According to Justice Smith, this was done to pit the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' franchise against an urban backdrop. Also applies to parts of the video segment introducing Howard Clifford with news footage of him in the 1990s, with the video quality and aspect ratio being made to resemble footage from that time; and Howard having NinetiesHair to contrast his hairstyle in the present day.
* ''Film/WerewolfByNight2022'' is shot in black-and-white and looks similar to a Universal Horror film with trademarks of said films -- jump cuts, use of shadows, paused zoom-ins and even cigarette burns -- with a title card that honestly looks like Universal made it themselves. The poster for said film also reflects this by being both aged and creased.
* ''Film/AWoundedFawn'': The movie is shot on 16mm film, with visible grain and saturated colors that are meant to emulate the 70s. That said, the movie is very strongly set in the modern era and hides nothing of the technology and trends of the time.
* ''Film/TheyClonedTyrone'': The film has an intentionally grainier look, complete with “cigarette burns” to give it the feel of being played on an old film reel.



* Following the success of their re-releases of classic Literature/DoctorWhoNovelisations, with original trade dress etc, BBC Books published several new novelisations in 2018 (''Rose'', ''The Christmas Invasion'', ''The Day of the Doctor'' and ''Twice Upon a Time'', plus a repackaging of ''City of Death''; one of James Goss's novelisations of Douglas Adams Fourth Doctor stories, which had been published in a completely different format). These replicate the appearance of the 1970s books, complete with Target insignia, Pertwee logo, and Anthony Dry doing his best Chris Achilleos impression for the cover illustrations. The only clues that they aren't well preserved books from the period (apart from, you know, the actual contents) are the BBC Books insignia on the spine, the fact the logo is foil, and that the original "Changing Face of Doctor Who" notes (explaining to kids for whom the TV Doctor had always been Creator/TomBaker who these other guys were) weren't so tongue-in-cheek. (The one for ''City of Death'', for example, not only notes that the Fourth Doctor changed his face when he "lost an argument with gravity", but is followed by a "Changing Face of Scaroth" note.) They followed this up in 2021 with ''Dalek'', ''The Crimson Horror'', ''The Witchfinders'' and repackagings of Goss's ''The Pirate Planet'', Eric Saward's Dalek stories (''Resurrection'' and ''Revelation'') and Gary Russell's novelisation of the [=McGann=] TVM. ''The Witchfinders'' is the odd one out, maintaining ''most'' of the trade dress, but with the Wittaker logo. The 2023 releases use the 60th anniversary version of the diamond logo, but without the diamond, in the same way as the classic diamond logo without the diamons was used for much of the Tom Baker years.

* ComicBook/IronMan and Doctor Doom once travelled back in time to a New York City circa the Silver Age (thirty years earlier in real time, perhaps ten or twelve in terms of Earth-616 chronology) in Brian Michael Bendis' run on Mighty Avengers. The art was drawn and colored to resemble the comic book art of that period.

to:

* ComicBook/IronMan ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' #600 has three "lost inventory stories" that aren't: a Golden Age time-travel tale in the style of Finger and Doctor Doom once travelled back in time to Sprang; a New York City circa the late Silver Age (thirty years earlier Batgirl and Robin story in real time, perhaps ten the style of Carmine Infantino; and a groovy seventies parody that could have appeared in ''Plop!'' or twelve ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'', which is ''actually'' by Creator/SergioAragones.
* ''ComicBook/BatmanBlackAndWhite'':

in terms the style of Earth-616 chronology) a [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] Franchise/{{Batman}} comic and is written accordingly as well. Batman and Robin smile throughout the story, deliver wisecracks and best the villains via a clever scheme.
** "Urban Renewal" features some nostalgic flashbacks by characters to the "old days", and the flashbacks are drawn
in UsefulNotes/{{the Golden Age|of Comic Books}} style as opposed to the more realistic present-day scenes.
* ''ComicBook/BigBangComics'' is a pastiche of Golden and Silver Age DC, with the artstyle and writing to match.
* Also by
Brian Michael Bendis' run on Mighty Avengers. M. Bendis, the ''Golden Age'' ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'' features 3 periods of time: the '40s, the '60s and modern day, each drawn in styles reminiscent of what was found in comic books of respective eras. The Retraux is especially noticeable in the colours.
* As ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} features a lot of both meta-commentary and time travel, this tends to come up in his book. The best example is when he gets set into the past to ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #47, and infiltrates himself into the story, ''Film/ForrestGump'' style.[[note]]''Deadpool'' vol 3 #11[[/note]] All the panels and dialogue are drawn in John Romita's style, and all the characters (except Deadpool and friends) talk like Stan Lee wrote them. (Indeed, enough panels are lifted from the original work that Romita and Lee are credited as co-authors.)
** In case you're wondering why specifically Spider-Man, it's because Deadpool's costume bears no small resemblance to that of the ol' Webhead, meaning it was a snap to redraw Spidey as 'Pool.
** ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' vol 5 #7 (from the Duggan and Posehn run) is supposedly an inventory story from 1979, crossing Deadpool (who, of course, didn't exist at the time to ''write'' inventory stories about) into the ''ComicBook/IronMan'' "Demon in a Bottle" storyline, with 70s Spidey and the Power Pack also making appearances.
The art was drawn and colored writing style both reflect this, and it even has oversaturated [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks Bronze Age]] colouring. Later issues in that run follow on from this, having Deadpool show up in what are claimed to resemble be inventory stories from other eras, with the writing and art in the style of those periods. Including one from Deadpool's [[UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks actual early days]], with a Creator/RobLiefeld in-joke as the characters have everything possible hiding their feet.

* The ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' April Fool's comic ''[[ComicBook/TransformersShatteredGlass Shattered Expectations]]'' was done in the style of the Generation 2 comics - drawn similar to Derek Yaniger and full of [[AuthorCatchPhrase Furmanisms]].
* A mild example in ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan: Requiem'' where in a flashback, the art goes back to Bagley's style, rather than the current penciller for the series, Immonen.
* A ''ComicBook/{{Stormwatch}}'' issue concentrating on the history of century-old [[ComicBook/TheAuthority Jenny Sparks]] depicts her in each decade as she would have appeared in the comics of the time, with the '80s flashback in particular being a clear homage to ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}''.
* Another one from Creator/AlanMoore, ''ComicBook/{{Supreme}}'' has flashbacks with an art style that corresponds with the time those flashbacks happened. This is justified in-story; from Supreme's perspective, his recollections of (for example) [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] events have such a simple, rough style to them because it was such a long time ago and everything seemed so simple back then.

* The [[MilestoneCelebration 25th anniversary]] (1983) ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' story had multiple segments that took place in pastiches of different parts of the Legion's history, using the original logos, original artists, and plot elements based on stories of the time. A weaker version of this was done for the 30th anniversary in 1988.
* One of the {{Elseworlds}} stories in ''[[ComicBook/LEGIONDCComics L.E.G.I.O.N.]]'' Annual #5 is a Silver Age pastiche imagining what a L.E.G.I.O.N. story would look like if written and drawn in the style of classic ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes''. Specifically, the story where Stealth (renamed Silent Girl) raped and killed Vril Dox. There is a ''slight'' tonal mismatch, which is of course the point.
* The [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-A9jyVMUHxEU/VYcdklIV_BI/AAAAAAAABgo/F0zu3ooAmnU/s1600/18-MyLittlePony32-covRE-ConEx-cafff.jpg convention variant cover]] for ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW'' #32, right down to the logo.
* ''ComicBook/NewMutants2019'' has the cover art styled after the '80s, clearly inspired by the style of Bill Sienkiewicz's covers from over thirty-five years ago. The logo is updated, but rather than modernizing it, looks even ''more'' '80s than the original.
* Writer and artist Tom Scioli has built his whole career around Retraux, specifically around mimicking the style of Creator/JackKirby and other creators of his era. [[PurpleProse Overblown narration]], worn-out looking art, UsedFuture aesthetics, [[PungeonMaster ridiculous amounts of puns]], KirbyDots everywhere, and an overall “mythic” feel to everything. See ''Webcomic/AmericanBarbarian'', ''ComicBook/TransformersVsGIJoe'' and ''ComicBook/{{Gobots}}'' for examples of his style.
* A VariantCover of ''ComicBook/ShirtlessBearFighter'' #4 is [[https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/scale_large/6/67663/6062561-04b.jpg a pastiche]] of 1950s PulpMagazine covers. In fact, it is ''very specifically'' a pastiche of [[https://twitter.com/PulpLibrarian/status/1383063152233943045 the covers]] Wil Husley used to do for ''Man's Life'' and ''True Men'', which mostly portrayed a man in a swamp fighting off animals in order to defend a woman who is falling out of a red blouse.
* The second issue of ''[[Franchise/StarTrekExpandedUniverse Star Trek Waypoint]]'' has an AffectionateParody of a Gold Key ''Star Trek'' comic, not just with a ridiculous story, not-quite-accurate uniforms, and jet-fire blasting from the warp nacelles, but with white flecks where the ink's "come away".
* A ''ComicBook/{{Stormwatch}}'' issue concentrating on the history of century-old [[ComicBook/TheAuthority Jenny Sparks]] depicts her in each decade as she would have appeared in the comics of the time, with the '80s flashback in particular being a clear homage to ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}''.
* The alternative comics series ''ComicBook/SunnyvilleStories'' was launched in 2010, but its hand drawn artwork done in nib pen more resembles 20th century NewspaperComics.
* The humorous one-shot ''Franchise/{{Superman}}[=/=]Franchise/{{Batman}}: World's Funnest'' featured the two [[GreatGazoo magical imps]] Mr. Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite accidentally destroying countless alternate universes, most of them drawn in the style of a certain artist--Curt Swan, Sheldon Mayer, C.

* The ''ComicBook/TheTransformersRobotsInDisguise'' 2012 Annual issue has flashback segments of Nova Prime and his inner circle done up in the style of the old 80s Marvel Transformers comics, including pages that have been made to look yellow with age, and glorious, page-long infodumps where each character takes the time to explain who they are in great detail just as characters being introduced in the old comics had a tendency to do (to encourage their readers to [[MerchandiseDriven go buy their toys]].
* The ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' April Fool's comic ''[[ComicBook/TransformersShatteredGlass Shattered Expectations]]'' was done in the style of the Generation 2 comics - drawn similar to Derek Yaniger and full of [[AuthorCatchPhrase Furmanisms]].
* A mild example in ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan: Requiem'' where in a flashback, the art goes back to Bagley's style, rather than the current penciller for the series, Immonen.
* Viz does this a lot, notably with the strip Jack Black, which is a parody of wartime comics and books such as The Famous Five series. The occasional one off strip drawn by the same artist will often involve surreal stories. Some 'news' articles are done in the same manner.



* ''ComicBook/{{Alias}}'' by Brian Michael Bendis features a flashback to Jessica Jones attending the same school as Spider-Man, drawn in a style reminiscent of Steve Ditko era Spider-Man. Jessica's early superhero days as Jewel get [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks '80s-like artwork]] in addition to old school credits ("Bashful Brian Bendis", "Magnificent Mike Gaydos", "Marvelous Mark Bagley").
* Also by Brian M. Bendis, the ''Golden Age'' ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'' features 3 periods of time: the '40s, the '60s and modern day, each drawn in styles reminiscent of what was found in comic books of respective eras. The Retraux is especially noticeable in the colours.
* As ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} features a lot of both meta-commentary and time travel, this tends to come up in his book. The best example is when he gets set into the past to ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #47, and infiltrates himself into the story, ''Film/ForrestGump'' style.[[note]]''Deadpool'' vol 3 #11[[/note]] All the panels and dialogue are drawn in John Romita's style, and all the characters (except Deadpool and friends) talk like Stan Lee wrote them. (Indeed, enough panels are lifted from the original work that Romita and Lee are credited as co-authors.)
** In case you're wondering why specifically Spider-Man, it's because Deadpool's costume bears no small resemblance to that of the ol' Webhead, meaning it was a snap to redraw Spidey as 'Pool.
** ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' vol 5 #7 (from the Duggan and Posehn run) is supposedly an inventory story from 1979, crossing Deadpool (who, of course, didn't exist at the time to ''write'' inventory stories about) into the ''ComicBook/IronMan'' "Demon in a Bottle" storyline, with 70s Spidey and the Power Pack also making appearances. The art and writing style both reflect this, and it even has oversaturated [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks Bronze Age]] colouring. Later issues in that run follow on from this, having Deadpool show up in what are claimed to be inventory stories from other eras, with the writing and art in the style of those periods. Including one from Deadpool's [[UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks actual early days]], with a Creator/RobLiefeld in-joke as the characters have everything possible hiding their feet.
* ''ComicBook/BatmanBlackAndWhite'':
** In "The Heist", all the shading is done with old-timey screentone dots.
** "Batman with Robin the Boy Wonder" by Creator/JohnByrne is drawn in the style of a [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] Franchise/{{Batman}} comic and is written accordingly as well. Batman and Robin smile throughout the story, deliver wisecracks and best the villains via a clever scheme.
** "Urban Renewal" features some nostalgic flashbacks by characters to the "old days", and the flashbacks are drawn in UsefulNotes/{{the Golden Age|of Comic Books}} style as opposed to the more realistic present-day scenes.
* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' #600 has three "lost inventory stories" that aren't: a Golden Age time-travel tale in the style of Finger and Sprang; a late Silver Age Batgirl and Robin story in the style of Carmine Infantino; and a groovy seventies parody that could have appeared in ''Plop!'' or ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'', which is ''actually'' by Creator/SergioAragones.
* One sequence in ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules'' features Herc hallucinating that he's reliving previous adventures due to being poisoned. When action is presented from his view, the comic suddenly appears to shift to a seventies artstyle and coloring. They even pan from Black Widow's modern look to her look from when she was on the Defenders with Hercules to emphasize it.

* Though more subtle than most, there has traditionally been a lot of demand for "film look" coming from digital video cameras, to the point of making things like 24p frame rates standard even on relatively low-end camcorders. The adoption of DSLR cameras like the Canon 5DmkII specifically aimed to duplicate the depth-of-field effects film cameras traditionally give by using standard interchangeable lenses and large image sensors; the jury is still out as to whether "film look" has been truly achieved for The Rest of Us, or if its proponents have created a new, unique DSLR look.

** Any of the Videlectrix games on ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' (with the exception of ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople''): ''VideoGame/PeasantsQuest'' and ''VideoGame/DangeresqueRoomisode1BehindTheDangerdesque'' are at least as good, if not actually better, as many of its "contemporaries" which it mimics, such as ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry'', While ''VideoGame/Stinkoman20X6'' is an homage to the ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' series. To add to the retrauxness, the employees of Videlectrix are the Brothers Chaps dressed up in polo shirts and fake mustaches. And their games are programmed on an Apple [=IIe=].
