BAH! This polle sucks, it goes by console era. I think the golden age of gaming was in the arcade.

If the 16bit age was the "Golden Age," then I guess that makes the 32bit era the "Renaissance."

Dammit, why does nostalgia cloud everyone's memories? Gaming is better now than it's ever been. We've got three awesome consoles, online gaming, newschool stuff, oldschool stuff, pretty much any type of game you wanna play, it's out there. I've loved every era of gaming, but right now is the best time, and it will just keep getting better.

That's not what is meant be "Golden Age." Think of it as the epoch of great gaming, where great leaps are made form the previous age. Things change and get better with every age but the improvements seen in the 16-bit era effect games to this day.

The results of this poll are ridiculous.

Not only was the 2600, 5200, Colecovision, Intellivision, etc. era the birth of home gaming, it was the time when the arcades were in their prime.

If that's not the definition of a Golden Age, I don't know what is.

By your argument a Neanderthal scrawling on the wall of a cave would be the Golden Age of art.
