What do you think the best year was for gaming?

Somewhere around 91-93, the golden era of 2D before those Super Knowledgeable Wunder-Peeps (TM) who form the games industry decided that NOBODY wants 2D any more, everbody wants hideous 3D that looks like a bunch of kids grabbed some coloured card, glue and a handicam and animated it. Never mind the fact that 3D and 2D "insert genre here" can play completely differently, not only consigning a viewpoint to the dustbin but countless types of games with it. I LOVE those guys.

You people are all way off. The 80's was the last glorious decade of video gaming. Period. Mike drop. See ya!  ;) ;D

Which year?

1958: When William Higgenbotham introduced Tennis For Two to the world and invented the idea of video games. Without that, none of the rest of it would exist.

1993 for me. In the words of Jason Heine on the All Gen Gamers Podcast. "Someone drop me off in 1993 and leave me the f@*k alone."

Mortal Kombat 2. Virtua Fighter, Samurai Showdown, NBA Jam, Kirby's Adventure, Mario All Stars, Sonic CD, Doom, and mega man x after just a cursory glance at wikipedia.

Plus, you have all the great holiday games from 1992... May be cheating, so I'm not listing them. But I feel like it was mostly downhill after 1993. Not huge drops to where nothing was good ever again. But it was never topped.
