     And how many of you didn't start seriously playing video games until well after the Crash of '84?  'Nuff Said. 

 

I played well before the crash myself.  Though, somehow I don't think that makes my opinions Absolute.

      Well, you would have been 9 during the crash which means you probably didn't play them that much before the crash occurred.  There is the chance that the NES just made a bigger impression on you with its better graphics, etc.I was 12 in 1984, and I received my 2600 when I was eight, and I read most of the big game magazines of the day, so the games I wanted were generally the most critically appreciated of the time.

     I think you would get the following results if you conducted a poll of video game players to get their opinion on what was the greatest video gme system ever made.

36 and older with experience playing most of the games from the Golden Age of Videogames (1979 to 1983) Atari 2600

35 to 30 Atari 2600 or NES

30 and below one of Nintendo's or Sony's systems with the xbox getting a lot of votes as well.

Holy shit.  This guy is A SINGLE YEAR older than Hawk, and still pulling the "you were too young to be around man" argument.

Depending on when their birthdays are, he's between 1 and 364 days older.  And that makes his opinion BETTER.

 

 I'm more than 1 year older than Hawk.  His profile says he is 34.  I was born in December 1972.
