Wheres the option for 64bit/PSX gen?
First mass 3D games,
Loads of Innovation...
Dreamcast brought the internet to gaming whilst PSX offered pink-up for multiple consoles.
N64 offered 4 player gaming straight out of the box (with some pads).
MGS had real AI when they could see your footprints or breath!
Games like Beatmania and Parapper the Rapper opened the world of music games!
Orcania of time and Goldeneye were truly amazing!
Final Fantasy 7 saw JRPGs becomming massively popular in the west!
Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Mario gave enjoyable 3D platforming.
FMV sequences actually gave pretty cool looking cutscenes for games.
Tekken re-defined arcade fighters.
Racing games let you actually drive the wrong way round the track instead of just following a 2D sprite stuck to moving left or right.
The first GTA shocked and appauled everyone and got big airtime on the news.
Players got their first introduction to rumble packs, analog sticks systems with memory cards so almost all games had save options.
Warcraft 2 and C&C were massive on both consoles and PCs making RTS games mainstream.
Duke Nukem made 13 year olds want to hop onto their father's PCs to try and stare at picelated boobs.
3D Football (soccer) games like fifa and ISSPro!
I could probably list more if I thought for longer but I'd say the 64bit/PSX generation was definately one of the best generations for gaming, so many new gaming genres, innovative and definitive games, new technology and truly exciting things coming out all the time. I don't think a single genre of gaming missed out on a difinitive game or new innovation in that period.
Edit: I guess by 32bit you mean N64/PSX/DC era after all (5th gen). Wikipedia reckons it is but I always thought the Mega CD and the likes were the 32 bit gen since N64 was... 64bit, lol.
