NES (so 3rd I guess?)

I still adore Metroid.

I love Kid Icarus, Simon’s Quest, LoZ 1 and 2, SMB 1-3, Blaster Master, Snake Rattle ‘n Roll, Guardian Legend and many more games.

Cobra Triangle is also a honorable mention.

Depends on the definition of "semi-regularly". 10 hours a year? 20? 50? 100? 200?

5th gen for me, as I come back to the PS1 every so often.

Maybe say once a month/every few months?

I consider Arcades from Golden age (around '78-'83) to fall into 2nd gen, and given that I play regularly those games, then that would be my answer.

I voted Gen 3, but I also have a 60-in-1 arcade cabinet that I will sometimes play, so I guess I should have said Generation 2.  So many great games from this era: Donkey Kong, Centipede, Dig Dug, etc....

Yeah, I grew up on those arcades and still regularly play them, especially Galaga, Ms. Pac-Man, Dig Dug and Gravitar.

I voted 6th gen, but that’s because it’s the oldest hardware I still play from time to time. If looking at emulation though, I do play 3rd gen games quite regularly and also some arcade classics from time to time.
