I'm with Machu and Rensch on this one. We had a Nintendo 8-bit at my house a year or two after it came out. We had a couple of games, but I was mostly running all over the neighborhood with my friends. I don't know what happened to the Nintendo we had, but I don't remember any more video games until my PC experience with the gawdly 486DX/2. Doom, Commander Keen, Carmen Sandiego, Wolfenstein...ahh good times.

Haha.

I think the 16bit era is my generation. I got my SNES with Mario Kart, Mario World and Street Fighter, and that was pretty much the peak.

When I was a kid the current system was the snes and I had just barely missed out on the nes. I didn't have either at the time but that's because my mom said she didn't buy one because she had no idea what nintendo was.

The arcades of the 8-bit era and of course the Atari 2600 itself has a place in my heart which has grown in the last few years.

The fact that Atari and Activision seem to have no interest in releasing their mouldy ouldies on the DSi or Wii fills me with sadness. SADNESS, I tells ya!

The 8-bit and 16-bit ones. The kind of games and amazement was incomparable.

It's hard to say, but I think my N64 since that's how I got into gaming.

Just let it happen.

My first console was a NES, but I most loved and identify with my Mega Drive. 16-bit, early-mid 90s was the best era in console gaming imo. Even if I never had a SNES, I appreciate that it was an excellent console with amazing games too, and that those of us who experienced that era as kids and teens were really lucky.

I think I relate to the Nintendo 64 and SNES a lot. I started gaming in 1998 when the Nintendo 64 was around. The Nintendo 64 would go on to be my all-time favorite system. I also played the SNES, another brillaint system.

So yeah, I tend to relate to the 4th and 5th generation the most.

Well I've really only been through two and I was too young during the Gamecube days to really know about good games so a lot of my buying of games back then was based on either brand name or I had played it at a friend's house. Ex: I had a TON of Mario games (spin-offs included) but didn't even know about the existance of Zelda. So anyway, I have to go witht his one.

16 bit and N64 eras. The Genesis was my first console, but I couldn't afford one until after the PS1 was out. Lots of good memories with it though, plus playing SNES at friend's houses before that. And N64+Middle/High school+SSB & Goldeneye tournaments = The epicest of wins.

I think we can both agree that the plant frog thing is not the way to go, though. :3

Objection! Of course the plant frog thing is the way to go!

I am way too lazy to think of something clever.

SNES & N64, the golden age.

i grew up with the commodore 64 and 8- bit nintendo, so NES it is. Although, when i first got N64, the amazement factor was in the same league with first times playing 8-bit. After N64, games have been great, but it will never feel the same as it did back then.

I started gaming on the 8-bits with a ZX Spectrum, then I also got a Sega Master System a couple of years later, so many great games that i still enjoy from that era. Then there was the leap to 16-bit computers/consoles, it was great seeing games on consoles with graphics that used to only be possible on arcade machines. The Sega Megadrive was my main console from the 16-bit era, i also got a SNES a couple of years later. Then seeing Mario 64 for the first time was one of my best gaming memories and the N64 had many classic games.

Pretty much how I feel as well. I grew up with the NES, but I don't think I'll ever be as amazed with anything in my entire life as I was the first time I saw Super Mario 64.

The Nes era was the most ground breaking and amazing if you ask me, and it's definitly thee' era that I most relate too.
The Nes was my first Console back in the 80's and it blew my 5 year old mind. Nintendo ruled the world, Super Mario Bros Super Show was on TV(along with the other amazing cartoons like TMNT, Ghostbusters, PeeWee's Playhouse ect), Nintendo had their own Super Mario Bros/Zelda Cereal, Nintendo was everywhere! Hell I even had a super mario bros/zelda blanket, and have fond memories of goinf to McDonalds and getting those SMB3 toys...Man, being a kid in the 80's and early 90's was amazing....And the kids were 10x cooler back in the 80's compared to nowadays.lol everything was just so Surf-tastic, mullet kickin, colorful and crazy. Sometimes i wish i were born a few years earlier though ;p

And ya, I have very fond memories of the 16-bit era with the Genesis and SNES as well, but both those era's cant touch the Nes rea

I was pretty amazed myself when i tried Super Mario 64 in a giant Nintendo tent and the PNE for the first time as well. It would of been even more amazing if I haden't played the Playstation which i owned at the time, but damn was it still amazing The analog controls, the Huge true 3D Worlds you could move around and explore in, and it was Mario for the first time in 3D. good stuff!

The Master System was what got me really into gaming, and that's the console I have the most love for, but I think in twenty years time it will be this current generation that I relate to most. This is the first time I've been able to afford to fund my gaming however I want. Last generation (GameCube etc.) I didn't really do much gaming, as that fell in my mid to late teens, and I was far more interested in other things. In the generations before that I had to rely on Christmas and birthday presents, so my gaming was very limited. This generation though, I've owned every console, including handhelds, and have played every game that I wanted to play.

NES released when I was 3 so I grew up in the 8 bit Era though my Dad had me playing Atari 2600 as well, but what Really got me just hooked on gaming, aside from Ninja Gaiden NES, was the N64/PSone Era. N64 with Mario 64, WaveRace and 1080 and Playstation One with its Massive Catalogue of Third Party Games (Tony Hawk 2) and Incredible Imports is where I got absolutely hooked.
