In my opinion, the Golden Age of videogaming was without a doubt the SNES gen. I can think of so many unparalelled games, so many gems and so much variety. I think that we won't ever see a gaming system like it.

Do you agree with me, or do you have another choice for the best chapter in videogaming history? You maybe were too young/didn't exist, or maybe old enough to have played through the earlier gens... Maybe the current gen or some other past gen is for you the best, you may even believe we've yet to see gaming's Golden Age.

Like I said earlier, SNES era was the epitome of gaming.

Do you mean the SNES/Genesis era, as both consoles had a major war back then (It is more then SNES era)?   I go back to the 8bit Atari days, and grew up on that as a teen, watching the crash happen.  For me, the best time is NOW.  I get to play old stuff if I want to, and they remake old stuff to be improved.  I also get new games.  If one were rating stuff, I would say the Golden Age was the Arcade age, the Sliver Age was the 8-bit into 16 bit age, and now we have the modern era, where there was switch to disks and also polygons.  Besides this, one can say the post-modern era (I hate doing this, but need some term here), would be the prevalence of Internet play.
