For me the 3rd gen was the best, even though I only really cared about the NES. The NES reinvigorated home console gaming after the great crash of '83/'84 and the level of innovation at the time in games like Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda proved to me that home gaming was sure to be a permanent form of entertainment.

The 4th gen is a close second though (loved the SNES and Genesis), followed by this gen (7th) and last gen (6th) pretty much tied for third.

The 1st and 2nd gen are definitely dead last.
