Okay, thanks. I started with Vic 20 but when I was a kid there was no internet, obviously, and we didn't gather around my neighborhood classifying game machine generations.  

I was not sure how far back people counted. I figured I was a dinosaur.  

Generations didn't really start being a thing until the NES overturned the second crash, the reason being is that gen 1 and 2 overlapped heavily and were side by side until the first gaming crash (1977) killed gen 1, gen 2 went on to be killed off by the second gaming crash.

Vic 20 was 1981 so would be Gen 2, ironically we maybe seeing the last of the usual gaming generations the way things are going.

                              

What game crash of 77? I think you are remembering something wrong here...
