It overall is the best time but it isn't the most exciting. Someone who started playing games in the mid 80's will have seen things go from Super Mario Bros to Super Mario 64 in just a little over a decade. Or even someone who started in the mid 90's will have seen 3D games go from Mario 64 to Mario Sunshine or Half-Life to Half-Life 2 in just six years. I was born too late to experience those things but it must've been incredible at the time to see such progress in such a short time span.
These days are still overall better though cause there's endless high quality indie games and with the industry pushing hard towards a multi-platform future you have more new games to play than ever before in all sorts of genres regardless of your platform of choice. While playing Mario 64 back in 1996 will have been an amazing experience you didn't exactly have many other N64 games to play for a while once you were finished with it.
