For me, it would be the 5th generation.

In particular, 1998 was the peak of gaming. I will list some of the following games to demonstrate my point:

-Resident Evil 2

-Panzer Dragoon Saga

-Xenogears

-Parasite Eve

-Starcraft

-Banjo-Kazooie

-Metal Gear Solid

-Spyro the Dragon

-Fallout 2

-Grim Fandango

-Turok 2

-Half Life

-Ocarina of Time

-Starcraft: Brood War

-Baldur's Gate

-Suikoden II

-Sonic Adventure

And I'm sure other people could list dozens of other great games, like Unreal and Star Wars: Rogue Squadron. That year alone makes it my favorite generation.


That's SEGA Dreamcast a 6th gen game on 6th gen console.

The question implies that the experiences I have had gaming were somehow fundamentally different depending on the system used. I am older, and cannot do the same caffeine induced marathon sessions I once could, but much of gaming is the same to me. It is the same joy for me. It's the same stupid grins upon completion of a Mario level. It's the same friends and family over to play. Honestly, I hope it stays that way.

Easily the 5th gen! Between the N64 & PS1, nothing has topped that (yet). The PS3 is quickly gaining ground for me, however!


I geuss tothe SEGA SATURN did not exit and did not have tons of awesome Japan Games >_>

Of course the Saturn existed (I still have one), never said that it didn't.

It just didn't pack the punch of either the 64 or PS1.

I can agree that SONY Playstaion was 100% awesome. but sadly SEGA US dug a grave for Saturn by not releaseing Lunar and Lunar 2, Grandia and CSOTN and others in he west.
