4th gen easily. When you look at the games released at the beginning of that gen for systems like the SNES, Genesis/MD, TG16/PC Engine... and compare them with ones released near the end, its night and day difference. And it was the same hardware throughout. What changed were the creative ways developers figured out how to really make things happen nobody thought possible.

Sure the later gens were better, but the 4th was truly revolutionary in gaming. Everything else after was evolutionary.
