I've noticed a lot of people on this site and others really love the 1990s for gaming. I understand the appeal of what hardware and software the 90s had to offer. It got me thinking if player's favorite decades in gaming were based on when they got into gaming.
I'll let you know my experience in this initial post. I don't recall playing any video games until GameCube and Game Boy Advance in Christmas 2003. By time Mario Kart 8 launched in 2014, I was just graduating high school. Around late 2014 is when I really started putting even more hours into gaming than I previously had, and especially from late 2017 to the present.
The 2000s and 2010s are my favorite decades for gaming. I was child during the entirety of the 2000s, and I was a big kid/about to turn 18 for the first 4 years or so of the 2010s. I still love the 1990s for games, and there are a few gems in the 1980s. I've never really been able to get into the 1980s for gaming, though. And I don't think I'll ever really play anything from the 1970s, as it's almost entirely Atari 2600 games or old arcade games.
Do any of you have the preference based on the decades you experienced first?
