Era Which Produced The Best Games

[white-zombie]

Prompted by the topic about whether we were happy with the era that we grew up in, I thought I'd ask, which era, in your opinion, produced the best games, and what were they?

Given that my favourite games is Zelda III, I guess I should say the 16-bit era, but it's not that simple, as I love Doom, Silent Hill, the Tomb Raiders, Resident Evil 4, Gran Turismo, etc.

I guess my short list of games would be something like:

16-bit

Quackshot

Zelda III

Super Castlevania IV

Starwing

Final Fantasy series

32/64-bit

Tomb Raider series

Resident Evil series

Gran Turismo series

Tekken series

Virtua Fighter series

Mario 64

Ocarina of Time

Final Fantasy series

128-bit

Resident Evil 4

Guitar Hero series

Grand Theft Auto series

Halo series

Final Fantasy series

I've left out the 8-bit era, and current era, as I don't have enough first hand experience with either.

Yeah, the 16-bit era was the true golden age in my opinion too. So many amazing classics and awesome series got their start here.

16 bit is the undisputed champ, and if it's not it's only missing one of the belts, probably the crappy WBO title...

16-Bit, hands down. We may never see anything quite like that again, but things are heating up pretty well these days.. we'll see.
