Which decade had the Best Video Games?

[reactivator11]

You can't really say. All three decades have their high points.

I guess the replies here are affected by the fact that most users had gaming "teens" in early to late 90's.

I agree. I feel 2000-2009 had the best releases personally, although I have extremely fond memories of the Mega Drive, DOS, C64 eras, because of the lust for some of the games then. But the best games were the 2000-2009 era in terms of story, awe and engrossing gameplay.

I would say 80-89, as back then it was not all about graphics but about gameplay. Not only that but you had many independents instead of these massive software houses.

It's a tough one. I think games are better now than they've ever been, but the early 90's were my formative years. I spent many a happy night with my Amiga 500 and games like The Chaos Engine and Turrican 2 the latter having what I still feel is the catchiest theme music ever [yes]

ahhhhhh.



This will be forever ingrained in my brain. Nostalgia. Its quite scary actually how far we have come. Only seems like yesterday i was playing my a500.

Remember all those MicroProse games with manuals like 3 inches thick. :D

Those were the days of real games.

In my esteemed judgment, the years between 1996 and 1999 produced more groundbreaking games than everything we have seen in the last decade combined.

I had to vote for 90-99, but damnit there are a lot of good games in the 2k range.

This is THE truth.
