It's a toss-up between fourth and fifth for me. All of the system released in that time period were simply awesome.

Hard choice between the 16-bit gen and the 32/64-bit gen. I'll lean for the 32/b4-bit gen though.

It's get better and better every generation, hopefully this generation will continue the trend. Too soon to pass judgement on this generation, so last generation was the best.

i say fourth generation. One, because the cartridge format had been vastly improved, so actually playing a game wasnt as tedious as the third generation was. Two, the games cannot be touched. Classics on both systems were too innumerable.

The fifth genertaion was the debut of the CD format, and the loading times on the PS1 were horrific, for me at least. Sixth gen those things were ironed out a bit, but the games didnt compare.

 So yeah, theres my reasoning.

Super Mario 64 + Ocarina of Time + Majora's Mask + Paper Mario + Banjo Kazooie/Tooie + Legend of Legaia (really underrated PS1 RPG) + Jumping Flash (was actually the first 3D platformer) + Resident Evil/2/Nemesis + Ape Escape + Spyro 2 and 3 + many more

My vote goes to N64/PS1 gen, easily. The dawn of 3D was glorious.

The CD-ROM format debuted in 1988 actually, with the PC-Engine CD.

Just a note: Some people may better recognize the console under this name in the states TurboGrafx-16/CD.

I'm sorry but this may sound fanboyish. Look what Nintendo, Sony, and Sega brought to console? We can go on and on about the great games for the 5th genration. Yet, people who say Xbox was a great system baffles me. You can actually count the number of great hits on the Xbox on one hand. I don't even think PS2 comes close to the great games PS1 had. It's like people expectation is going downhill. I just see the same path for 360. Microsoft is so garbage to me when it comes to console gaming. My standards for a great console is the 5th generation, not Xbox and Xbox360. Microsoft needs to show some innovation in this console market. They're so garbage. Tuesdays and Thursdays full truck load garbage. /rant

Fifth gen. N64+PS1 .nothing comes close IMO. Nex_Ownage
Ditto. It was the fifth gen that first got me into gaming when I was little. SM64 was the first game to really grab me.

MS is indeed the weakest first party developer compared to Nintendo, SEGA and even Sony. However, they can get very good third party support, and that's what counts for me.

In the same way I was never a fan of Nintendo games, but the third party support on the NES and SNES was remarkable.

Thinking back now, third, fourth, fifth and sixth gen were all pretty incredible. Current gen has some serious catching up to do.

I just feel like Microsoft is not doing it's part as a gaming company. Throwing money at third party developers is such an American tactic. Their stratergy is what urks me the most about them. The true blind people are the ones who don't see the distant furture of gaming if Microsoft gets its way. Mark my word if MS take over the gaming industry it will go stale. Its all ready showing.

i think they have picked it up a little, they have brought Halo, Gears and Fable(could be a good series, the first was AA) to console gamers. They got rare and are trying to rebuild that companies name, with games like Banjo 3, plus Rare also had a new ip in viva pinata. MS helped out with mistwalker, who are making Blue Dragon, then you can throw in games like Lost Oddyssey, Too Human which look good. Plus Forza 2, PGR4, and a really good 3rd party support on a system that didnt stiff consumers that just have a standard TV. Is MS to gaming what Nintendo, Sega, or even Sony is. NO. Are they getting better and worth mentioning. Yes.

I voted for the 6th gen, but both the 5th and 6th gens were very memorable. A lot of good memories from PS1 vs N64, that was the big battle, and then the PS2's ownage... games were so amazing, and still are today. The new HD hype has focused corporations on tech development rather than gameplay, but that's life lol.
