There is a debatable amount of gaming generations generally everyone keeps saying there is about 7 gens but really I can count even more then that with the rare consoles that never really sold to much. There is just so many gens and so many of them argueing for the title for the first video game in existances most people will say pong. I have done a bit more research and came acrossed plenty of articles about sonar and radar games but also alot of other methods of gaming all debatable.

@Bob0p Thats some instresting points you made, i guess it really is debatable on the "exact" number of generations gaming as a whole, has been through.

But what gaming generation held the most "fun" & "Innovation" for you, in a personally way?

What games and system do you have the fondest memories of?

well I cant really say since I first got into gaming in 7th gen soo umm ill say this gen just because ive only been in two lol

[JASONMOORE87]

@tyrikmoney Well this is a good generation. so its not all bad :P

Gen 6 > Gen 5 > Gen 4 > Gen 7 > Gen 3......every other gen is irrelevant lol.

Gen 6 was simply amazing. ps2, gamecube, & dreamcast topped it off for me. All of them were GREAT console. Dreamcast being sega best console of all time imo. gamecube is nintendos 2nd best console of all time imo. and ps2 is sonys best console. i can probably live the rest of my life playing gen 6 games.

This is sort of a hard question, but my "Top Gaming Generation" would have to be the PS2/GC/Xbox era of gaming, simply because of the PS2.

Now I loved the PS1, but the PS2 was not only an amazing gaming machine, but it could also play CDs and DVDs. Not to mention that I could play all of the awesome games from my PS1! And it had a titanic variety of games, from hack 'n slash games like Sengoku Basara 2 to fighters like Tekken Tag Tournament. There was something for everyone to enjoy.

Really hard to say, Jason.

The 16-bit era resonated with me very well because of all the great gaming titles we had from SNES and the Genesis alike. I also like the early PC era when point&click Adventures and Flight sims were still king. And even though it had a few bumps, the PS2 era was enjoyable.

I have to say, I'm not too fond this console era tho, lack of substantial content and too much emphasis on online is killing my mood.

N64/PSX was the peak age of gaming.. the 90s ruled for gaming and wrestling.. now gaming's kind of played out imho

Nintendo: NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii --- Gameboy Color, Nintendo DSI XL

Sega: Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast

Sony: PS, PS2

Microsoft: Xbox

All the consoles/hand helds i've ever owned. Nintendo will always be the nearest to my heart for all of the characters and great gameplay it provides. I still loved Sega, even after the Xbox and PS2 blew them outa the water. Playstation has the best RPGs to ever be made on it. As far as the Xbox, i don't really care much for it.

4th generation ftw

[Sonicdafan1]

sonic is the best

[kR0B45]

My favorite generation is N64/Playstation, after that the consoles all became the same.

[BknRuben]

The best generation is the 5th. Nintendo 64 and PSX RULZ!!!!!!

[DrakeGonBizzy]

nothing compares to the snes/genesis era, generations past that WISH they had the level of gameplay those two systems produced rather than just having better graphics. On a side note Shinobi 3 is more fun to play than ninja gaiden on xbox imo.
