Your biggest wow moment of each gen you've lived through

[Zach808]

Gen 6: Spider Man 2. Holy crap, I'm swinging through the whole city of New York and beating the shit out of people! This is awesome!
Gen 7: This is gonna seem ridiculous, but... Minecraft. Being alone out in the wilderness, tasked with building up a new world using whatever I could find? It felt so different than anything I had played before, but I was hooked. Surviving the first night in a little hole in the wall, watching the sun rise and set while I built my tower up to the heavens, carefully exploring a cave while always dreading that inevitable hissing sound... I loved it.
Gen 7 handheld: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Whoa, this touch screen thing is so cool! This is the future of gaming! Granted, that didn't end up happening, but it was amazing for my first touch-based game.
Gen 8: Breath of the Wild. I know, another Zelda game. But man, the effort put into this world. It always felt like I was discovering something new no matter where I went. And it didn't feel like a grind whatsoever.
