When I really think it over the leap from Gen 2 to Gen 3 is clearly the bigger one. They didn't add a dimension but the leap in scope was far larger going from those earliest of consoles to the NES/SMS etc days, saved games were popularized, the modern controller was born, and I see a greater graphical difference between Pitfall and Super Mario Bros 3 than between a Super Mario World and Super Mario 64. Sports games also made the transition from largely unestablished franchises into more popular ones, such as Madden. Also, Gen 2 saw cartrige-based handhelds get off the ground. |
Precisely why I said gen 2-3 was a big one as well. Also, I'm going to assume you're one of the few other over-30s on here as a result of that comment, so hi!
