No because I was born in '85.

I still remember every other game puttin 3d in their name because it was the third instalment
worms was ok tho
still these guys did not miss much
>>322395574
I started on the Atari with Joust and worked my way up through all the systems. Feels really fucking awesome. Only mainstream system I didn't have was the xbox huge or the genesis. I even own a Turbo Duo.
I might predate the "golden age of gaming" a year or two back. A lot of staple SNES games were pre 95' and even some nes games like Zoda's Revenge were rocking all over the place released in 1993ish.
Fellow youngfag here, honestly the golden age of gaming was whenever you were 8-14. You will always remember those most fondly
The fact that there were a lot more quality games in 95-05 just means that when you play them now, even though you don't have nostalgia for them, you can still enjoy quality games.
Basically, youngfags thought decent games were great, elderfags thought really good games were great, but those really good games still exist.
>>322395574
>tfw i missed out on the transition to 2D to 3D gaming
You didn't miss much that gen was generally shit, gens 4 & 6 were better
>>322397508
what the fuck, ive read this 3 times and still cant understand what you are saying
Born in 1996, played trashy 2D-s on PS1 and Nintendo 64, GTA III, Max Payne, MGS 2 when I was 6-8. First visited 4chan when 12. Fucked up 4 life, holmes. Never saw a border of 2D/3Ds. Same shit
yeah, december 97 baby here. my first console was actually a ps3 on launch, but then i went back and got a hold of my cousin's super nintendo that he was gonna throwaway. played a lot of great games on it.
Why? You can buy shittons of great old games for often times a very cheap price.
pc mustard since i was a kid, never played shit games. Played deus ex, homeworld and system shock 2 in 2012
all those objectively superior to everything id played before then and since for the most part.
the golden age exists because objective quality can be measured and most games nowadays with a few exceptions lack the mechanical depth and immersive qualities that defined older titles. All those "hurr durr nostalgia fag" posters are chest slapping retards and plebs.

I don't see what the problem is. I was born in 97 and was only allowed to be on 4chan a few days ago. I still browsed anyway.
>>322395574
>missed out
The transition was fucking shit. Early 3D was terrible compared to late 2D. God I wish 2D would have just evolved separately. It would look so lovely today
>>322402125
Daily reminder millennial means you came of age in the 00s, hence 1991 is the last viable birth year for the title

why don't you just play whatever you want and stop complaining about things that do not matter?
born in 76 i got to see everything. The transition from 2D to 3D was rough though they really didnt have the camera controls or graphics figured out yet.
Also all you rule fags fail to stay true.

What happens after the post ironic era, Neo-Unironic era?
>>322395574
Nope. I was born in 82. I remember TMNT the original rush, SMB 3 being THE shit, when Vanilla Ice was actually cool, every relevant gaming moment from about 87 on. Sierra at its prime, Lucasarts making good games, FF7 before the hype reached critical mass.
Hell, I remember how things were before 9/11. How everything felt like it'd always work out because it always had. I feel for you kids.

I was born in '84 and while the games were great I think you younger anons will look back the same way we do in a decade from now.
Nostalgia is a powerful thing.
There's also nothing stopping you from enjoying the games for the first time. They're still great games, anons, don't let let "outdated" graphics keep you from them.
>>322406170
/v/ manchildren piss and moan because they're getting older and their favorite little hobby isn't meant for their age
get over yourselves, fat asses. minecraft is no different than mario in terms of innovation and objective quality. you're just butthurt that kids are having fun these days while you're due for your first prostate examination in a few years
>>322406912
Same, except 1992
>>322395574
The transition was horrible. 2D graphics was at a peak and in comes low poly, horrible texture 3D graphics and shits all over the place.
The worst part is all the faggots doing backflips in awe.
>Holy hell! It looks just like real life!
What? Why couldn't they see it looked like crap? I'd say 3D has only become acceptable in recent years. And even now it super easily starts to look like cheap crap if not done well.
It was a graphical dark age...

You know ED has been around forever right
>>322407097
The majority of people that played games for the longest time was males over the age of 22. Back in the day it wasn't odd to see the average age for players to be around 30. It was only with the recent mobile gaming boom that that began to change.
>>322403287
Oldfag from that graph but I still remember DESUDESUDESU being a meme when I first came here. Not sure why it's under the originalfag area.
>>322415976

Actually no the majority were children and maybe some teens at the arcades, it didn't become a 30 yo man's pastime until gen x/y got to that age

It's kind of weird how arcades are frozen in time. Like I can go and play Time Crises 2 or House of the Dead right now, it's surreal.
