The Golden Age is when you're twelve. Always. Regardless of generation.

  I dunno, that era of gaming seems to transcend nostalgia. It was basically the peak of 2d game development. The switch to 3d after that changed gaming forever in a way that seems to emphasize cinematic gaming over intricate mechanics. For those that prefer the latter, the SNES generation has yet to be topped.

    Check out Ori and the Blind Forest. It came out a month ago and is one of the best 2D metroidvania games I've ever played: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ori_and_the_Blind_Forest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ori_and_the_Blind_Forest

    > emphasize cinematic gaming over intricate mechanics > the SNES generation has yet to be topped [for those who prefer mechanics] Starsiege Tribes. Tony Hawk. DotA/LoL/HotS/etc. Dark Souls. Portal. N/N+/N++. I believe that all of those games emphasize intricate mechanics over cinematic gaming, though I admit that the majority of them are also hoping for cinematics (as were most games of the 8-bit and 16-bit eras). To my mind, on mechanics alone, the SNES generation has been topped. Of course, it's also nice when a game is also beautiful (Dark Souls) or also has engaging story (Portal).
