BTW there was more then one Console in the First, Second and Third Gens.
oh and the Atari 26000 is Second Gen.
I started Gaming in Third Gen in 1986 at 5 years old with a SEGA Master System all my frends had NINTENDO Famicom/NES so I played a lot on that console to.
I have loved every Gen that I have been around.
My favorite Gens in no particular order are The fourth Gen, Fifth Gen and SIXTH Gen.
This Gen is not over yet but so far the SIXTH Gen still is still far superior.
overall favorite Platforms in no particular order are
SONY PlayStation , PlayStation 2, SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis, Dreamcast, NINTENDO Super Famicom/SNES,
This Gen
SONY PlayStation 3, NINTENDO WII( for Japanese Imports Games)
Edit: as I see it alot of the Game deign Ideas Third Gen were beyond what the 8bit system could do and these Ideas were perfected in the Fourth Gen also the Fifth Gen was another Experimental Gen were a number of Games tried to puch Gameplay design and Graphics beyond what the 32bit/64bit System were Capable of. The SIXTH Gen is were these Gameplay and Graphics design Ideas were perfected.
The SEVENTH Gen is yet another Experimental Gen for new HD Game deign on Console it is again likely that the Eighth Gen will perfect what the Seventh Gen Started as well.
