Ever Skipped A Generation?

[Sky10w10w]

Have you ever skipped a generation of gaming?

I was a hardcore gamer during the 8 and 16-bit eras. But I skipped out during the 32/64-bit era in which the Saturn, PS1, and N64 competed against one another. Why? First, I wanted to take my studies more seriously; I spent too much time playing games during elementary school. Second, I had a PC to do high school work on, so I didn't need a new console in order to play the latest video games. Third, at first I wasn't sure which console would be a good investment, although I later came to want the PS1 over the N64 since the latter was a terrible choice if you were partial to 2D fighters.

Lets put it this way since I've been born no I have not skipped a generation. I did miss a few of them I guess you could say. I've never played a Channel F or any of the different versions of the Odyssey but I've played many different versions of Pong. So anything starting with VCS and on to today no I have not skipped a generation. I'm too big of a VG Dork to do that.

Never skipped a generation, but have skipped consoles. Never played a Saturn and I would like to someday. I've got Nights for the Saturn, but no system to play it on.

I didn't own any of the 32/64 bit for a while, either. Sort of skipped that one. I think it's because I played them often at my friends house and my family couldn't afford them.

I never did play any Jaguar or 3DO.

I skipped the "lost and worthless" generation (3DO, CDi, Jag, etc.), but I've yet to fully skip. If the price of consoles stays current then I might skip the next generation...

I was rockin an N64. I paid full price for all of Nintendo's in-house games. I bought Saturn and skipped the PS1.

I bought Dreamcast on the release day and supported them for 3 years then never bought another console. I bought a computer and followed the emulation scene religiously.

So Playstation 1 to present. (except Dreamcast)

I would've rather had a Saturn than PS1 anyways. A lot of games I played on PS1 were also on Saturn but much better for it.
