The 8/16-bit consoles for me. I got to experience gaming when it was at its creative zenith. Not only that, but we were getting the greatest games ever made literally every single year. And every new console was not just a new console, but more like a hundred-years-into-the-future time warp. It was all exciting, it was all constant, and it left such an indelible mark on my soul that I doubt there will ever be a time where hearing the opening themes to Metroid, or OOT, or Sonic 1, or FF4 wont stop me dead in my tracks and either reduce me to tears or warm my heart.
