R.E.T.R.O. is the fourth full-length studio album by mind.in.a.box released on 26 February 2010.
The album is separated from the story lines of Lost Alone, Dreamweb and Crossroads.
R.E.T.R.O. pays homage to the days of computer gaming on 8-bit computers, with some remixes of game soundtracks as well as songs themed around 8-bit computing. All the tracks feature synth sounds styled after the sound capabilities of the Commodore 64 home computer and other machines of its day.
The album largely references the Commodore 64, including songs based on the music of some of the games for the platforms – Light Force, The Last Ninja, Supremacy and The Last V8, as well as Shades, which is however not from a game but is a single C64 song.
"Mindkiller" is a modernized version of the "Parsec" (space shooter) intro music.
