When I was a kid I loved my NES, Genesis and SNES. I spent many an hour mastering games like Contra and Megaman. When the fifth console generation started I found the graphics to be jarring and unpleasant while the controls were unrefined and often downright broken. My disappointment with the fifth generation drove me to PC gaming which had gotten past the awkward transition into 3D by the time the N64 released. I started with a few blockbusters like Starcraft, Diablo and Quake and my love of PC gaming grew from there.
