The Really Official Gaming Golden Age Thread Thing...

[kalniel]

Picking 3 examples from the tens of thousands of games released each year, doesn't really change anything.

They were just that - examples, of a wider situation of course.

Just making up that 'Most people who can look at it objectively don't share that opinion though' doesn't really change this either.

I wasn't making anything up

You are entitled to your opinion, of course, but if you have a read around the 'net, and think about it, til it hurts, and if you were actually around and gaming in the Atari2600-to-Xbox360 eras, then you might change your mind.

I certainly was around then, even if my first exposure to home (ie non-arcade) games was actually the micron/electron.

Have you not voted on the poll mate, btw?

No - as I said before, I don't agree with the classification of generations.

I'm joining in the debate, even if not the poll Perhaps you should only post once, explaining your poll choice, and then take no further part in the thread
