In the 80s. C64 and Amiga.
Snes and Ps1/N64 close after this but this generation has the potential to be the best
I'd say the SNES-N64 era in consoles. And the era of Warcraft 2, Diablo and Diablo 2 for PC.
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

4th Golden Age of Gaming:
PC Gaming late 90s
I have this sad feeling telling me that there won't be another "Golden Age of Gaming". Everything went mainstream and everyone are gamers. Gaming used to be an "underground phenomenon". It was special. These days all the excitement is long gone. PC gaming started to suffer after Amiga and other "semi PC systems" disappeared and as developing costs soared. These systems spored and supported the creativity in the PC gaming scene. PC gaming developers and Amiga developers worked in tandem and everyone benefited from it. All this creativity culminated in the late 90s. It then dropped as developing became increasingly more risky business. Every developer had to "play it safe" and things started to become more predictable. We can still see some developing scenes that resemble what we had back in the 90s, but it's just not the same (it's not cutting edge, it's retro). OTL
Discuss.
SNES no doubt. Greatest console of all time. So many good memories.
Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^
