It's not all nostalgia though, for me the golden age lasts too long for that. Basically from 94-99 we had some absolutely classic games (I was 13-18 at the time), and gaming as a whole went through a revolution (2D to 3D), which doesn't happen very often. That period of the SNES-PS1-N64 will never be topped IMO. Maybe if virtual reality (or maybe use augmented glasses tech somehow) gaming takes off, I dunno.erttheking said:
I have to say though, this generation has been pretty good so far as well. Working on my backlog, I'm currently having my first playthrough on Mass Effect 2. It is bloody amazing. Rarely do I find myself thinking about a game while at work nowadays, but this is def one of them.
Mario 64 was the best game ive ever played. I love the list, I loved Halo Combat Evolved, Elder Scrolls and Vice City as well. Great list id say!
I couldn't decide by year. I will always say it's between 1995 and 2005. There were so many games released in that time that really accomplished a lot and unfortunately a lot of those games aren't remembered as well as the repeating franchises. In fact there were so many games talked about around my school at the time it was impossible for me to count them all. Literally more than enough games to cater to every different gamer (and me), and most of the designs in these games were pretty original too, and even special projects like Mugine swept the net.
Yahtzee has a point with the PS2, the library of good quality games on it is overwhelming.

Really, since I've been gaming for close to 24 years, it is hard for me pin point a golden year. I would say the time period of when gaming felt truly special and I had no problems with anything would be from the NES area to the N64. The Gamecube for the most part was pretty magical for me as well, it did bring to me what I consider the best Zelda game and that is Wind Waker.
I was a Nintendo gamer until about 4 years ago when I finally caved and got an XBox 360 because it was what all my friends had. Before that I had to split screen with them, and on rare occasions they had me bring over my Wii for shits and giggles with Wii Sports.

That was a good year, I didn't play alot of those games but I remember people in the early-mid 2000s being 'happy' on the most part.ArcossG said:
It was 2002-2005 for me, thats when the Gameboy/Gamecube were ruling my life, happy times. It was also around this time I got a Playstation 2, wasn't very mainstream, you guys proberly never heard of it.
