Your fav. Generation of consoles?

I look back on the Snes/Mega Drive days with most fondness. I think it's because I had Japanese imports of both consoles, meaning I got to play the games before the general public as it were. Sometimes by a long time. I really did think I was the mutt's nuts.

Though I did really enjoy some of the Saturn and PS1 games, I wasn't as blown away by 3D as I might have been. It just seemed a natural progression.
 
The best one for me was the SNES/MegaDrive generation since it's when I really got properly interested in games.

The PSOne/Saturn/N64 had the most standout games though IMO

I'd say the jump from 16bit 2D games to 32/64bit 3D games was the best experience for me, playing stuff like Goldeneye and Mario in 3D blew me away and playing Tomb Raider on the PS1.

why though?

the first 3d games looked terrible. i mean they might as well have been starfox on the snes!

i really enjoyed the gen before, the snes where 2d had been pushed hard already and yet the developers still stuck to gameplay/plots/longevity as opposed to creating a shortened game simply because they felt compelled to add polygon count.

And games like Shadow Complex show that there is still a place for 2D games.

That was one of my favorite games of 2009.
 
tell me about it, i still play pokemons man! although it pretends to be 3d in places its basically 2d.

i also love golden sun, (2) and things like that.

3d without good texturing and good gfx cards (not found in ps1 etc) was a bit naff really and a little what id call, half baked...
 
This gen for me, the only console I ever owned prior to my 360 was a SNES and that was purely for Street Fighter 2.
 
PS1 for me. Came at a point in my life where I could afford to buy games freely, with my own money. I think I appreciated a lot of the titles more, for that reason. I think you appreciate things less when they are just given to you (by parents or pocket money etc).

Wasted many hours at Uni playing PS1 instead of studying, GT, FFVII, RE, SF games, FIFA, Tekken and many more.

Either Mega Drive or PS1.

Both had some many awesome games and i have fond memories of both.

MD had streets of rage,golden axe,toejam & earl, sonic and loads more!

But the PS1 has given me my favourite game experiences ever with MGS1 and RE2. My 2 favourite games of all time.
