Forums - Gaming Discussion - Best Video Game Decade? 70's? 80's? 90's? 2000's?

What decade of video games, do you cherish the most?

Personally...

1. 90's

2. 80's

3. 2000's

4. 70's

90's is definitely my favorite decade, partly because it made up most of my childhood, but that's really not the main reason. The Super Nintendo and Genesis saw many genius creations like Super Mario World, Super Metroid, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, 3, Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, 3, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario All-Stars + many more, and there was never any bullshit that diluted them. No Delfinos (Super Mario Sunshine), Miis (Mario Kart Wii), Library (Super Mario Galaxy), humans (Sonic the Hedgehog), or anything that did not fit into their universes. They were, what they were, and what they were, were awesome. Super Mario World is the first game I ever played, and it's still fun to play this very day. I used to video tape myself playing the Donkey Kong Country games back when I was about 8, yelling at the games, saying the most ridiculous things like, "That's bad manners," or some shit like that, every time I died... Those were the days... Then there's all those old school commercials, back when they didn't suck, and were actually funny. Then the Nintendo 64, Saturn, and Playstation came out, and they kicked ass too, and Crash Bandicoot, Sony's Mario, stood beside Sonic and Mario, and was the only time we had three video game mascots, that perfectly mirrored Sony, Sega, and Mario. Rumble was brand new, as well as 3D. Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, and later on, Sonic Adventure, released for the Dreamcast. Looking back, it's all so nostalgic now, and it all had that old-school atmosphere to it.

1985 - 1995


Between those years were the best imo.

"I don't trust #XboxOne & #Kinect 2.0, it's always connected" as you tweet from your smartphone - irony 0_o

The 90's hands down. The time before Sony or Microsoft especially was satisfying. You could enjoy videogames for the fun of it and not get caught up in such a corporate mess.



The 90's gave us fallout, planescape, half-life, starcraft, doom, quake, the elder scrolls, system shock, oddworld, unreal, myst, myth et al.

The 90's are easily my favorite.



3.5 favor the 90's... 3.5, since 1985-1995 is obviously only half of the 90's.

Good question lol, but thats my personal opinion.  I'm sure there are a handful of people that like the 80's better than the 90's.
