96-01 age. Because of Xenogears, Star Ocean: The Second Story, Legend Of Dragoon, Street Fighter Alpha 3, X-Men Vs Street Fighter, Tomba!, and so many more games.

90-95 a very close second

Early 90's- PC games from that era are beyond epic. There are also some astonishing games from the mid 90's so that period is a really close second!

1996-2001: Goldeneye, SM64 and oot were the beste games I have ever played on a home console.

PC games in the Early 90's.......

Number Munchers? Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? Oregon Trail?

Those were some great games.

The n64 will always be my favorite system. I like the playstation a lot too.

Current gen. It's pretty much always the current gen for me. Why reminisce about the past? It's the past. I still like some old games, but I tend to play them far less than new games.

Its spelled "N64"....96-2001  was definitely the best generation.

The pinnacle of platforming (SM64) and a game that still hasnt been surpassed in Ocarina of Time......its madness not to choose this gen.

wats spelled N64? how could u get that spelled wrong its only 2 letters and a number who spelled it wrong?

1996-2001.

I say this even though I didn't even have a damn PS1! The N64 + PC combo is more than enough. Then again, we do have a few from SNES, Dreamcast's library... and we got a taste of the 6th gen.

Not sure if it's cheating, but regardless of the consoles, all the games below were released in this time period:

SNES - some late greats
Super Mairo RPG
Lufia II
Kirby Super Star

N64 - all-time peak of local multiplayer
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Super Smash Bros
Goldeneye
Mario 64
Kart 64
Star Fox 64
THQ Wrestling games (best ever)
... many other 4p games 

Dreamcast - remember Sega's last?
Soul Calibur
Grandia 2
Sonic Adventure
Tony Hawk 2
Skies of Arcadia
Jet Grind Radio
Shenmue
Power Stone
(list getting too long)... every other amazing Dreamcast game

PS2, GC, XB - early goodies
Final Fantasy X
Super Smash Bros Melee
Pikmin
Super Monkey Ball
Halo
GTA3
Ico
... others I'm not into, like GT3

PC - golden age, IMO
Heroes II/III
Civilization II
GTA 1-2
FF7-8 (didn't have a PS1!)
Everquest
Counterstrike
Starcraft
Half-life
Diablo 1-2
Quake 2-3 / Unreal Tournament
The Sims

Oh god, that PC lineup is ridiculous. I'm sure there's more if I look it up, but there's no need. The other periods don't come close.

1990-95 comes in second. The 16-bit consoles had some amazing games, and the PC side was great as well.

1996 - 2001. Thanks to the best console and some of the best games ever created. Truly golden age of gaming.

EDIT: Btw, I'm talking about PS1 not N64.
