Prolly the 16-bit era. There were a lot more companies/consoles in the mix and it seemed like a lot more boundaries were broken, although in that latter sense that period was admittedly inferior to the PSone/N64/Saturn era, since those systems largely pioneered 3d console gaming, but I would counterargue that games from that generation don't hold up as well today as shit like Contra 3, Mortal Kombat, any of those arcade-style TMNT beat 'em ups, or Street Fighter II. But yeah: Genesis (and all its add-ons), SNES, TurboGrafx-16, Neo Geo, etc. -- that was my shit. Good choice. I agree that the Genesis/SNES generation aged better than the PS/N64/Saturn era for the most part. Largely due to the fact that devs hadn't nailed 3D movement yet. Platformers are probably the genre that has aged the best from the N64/PS/Saturn era. And they are few and far between!
