Anyone who says anything other than 6th or 7th is succumbing to nostalgia.

Hell no, you can´t say one generation is better just because it´s newer and more advanced... do you think we are better than our parents just because we have Ipods and interwebs ??? IMHO the Snes era did most for gaming, the different directions gaming went at that time was just incredible... the other generations are great but they would be nothing without the advances the Snes made...


You're confusing "most influential/revolutionary" with "best." Yeah, there were a lot of highly influential games made during the SNES era, but you also can't deny that the games that built upon those concepts in later generations are better.


YOU are confusing "best" (which btw. is hard to define) with more advance graphics, more dimensions and shiny colors... for me best IS influential and revolutionary...


Then you're defining "best" as something other than what "best" clearly means. Take a basic game - say, on the SNES - and layer a few new and interesting concepts on it, and improve the graphics and sound, and why exactly don't you end up with a better game than the original?

@ Kasz216: Seriously? I mean, I'm as big of an Earthbound fan as the next guy, but the SNES simply wasn't capable of many of the things that we see in modern RPGs. I mean, could the SNES handle something as complex as Vagrant Story, let alone a modern RPG like Oblivion?


 Who died and made you king of definitions ??? You don´t get a better game by adding better graphics and sound... is Crysis better than Half Life 1 ??? Is Lair a better game than Star Fox... would the Mona Lisa be better if da Vinci had had a digital camere with 10 billion pixels ??? Hell No !!! It´s what you do with the resources you have not the resources themself... if someone came from the future and let you play a game on his PS9, sure it would blow you away from a graphics and sound point of view... but graphics and sound only go so far, if the game gets boring after ten minutes or is just another copy of games we know today it will be bad, not better.
