What is that time period that you have the fondest memories of gaming? When you think back to that time, you are instantly swept up in how awesome it was to be a gamer back then and puts a huge smile on your face. You can list a specific generation of gaming as well if one in particular really makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside :p

For me it is sort of a large swath of time. From 1996 until 2002 I was a very avid gamer and remember playing so many classics on the most of the 5th and 6th gen consoles. If I had to narrow it down a little further, specifically 1998 through 2001 was the greatest 3 year of my life to be a gamer; we got classics like Ocarina of Time, Shenmue, Gran Turismo 3, Sonic Adventure, Super Smash Bros, Perfect Dark...I could go on and on. I played all of the mentioned games extensively, and there are easy another dozen or so I sunk serious time into. I was also fortunate enough to have my top three consoles of all time during this time, all which were supported by their creators. Those would be the N64, Dreamcast and PS2. I get massive feels when thinking about this time as a gamer.

I get the most heart-melties when thinking about the PlayStation era and the cornucopia of quality RPGs. After Final Fantasy VII, things just continued to get better and better for me. Hours upon hours were sunk into Star Ocean 2, Threads of Fate, Legend of Mana, Vagrant Story, SaGa Frontier, Valkyrie Profile, SaGa Frontier 2, Final Fantasy Tactics.

And the list goes on and on and on.

6th Gen

N64 and PS1 era with a dab of the early Xbox era in particular because of all the Halo LAN parties me and my friends did.  Like every single weekend when Halo released lol

PS1 era for me as well. First console I owned and some of my fondest memories. My favourite game is Final Fantasy VIII mostly because of my memories playing it at the time. That game's content was beyond anything my little 4 year-old brain could comprehend and I loved it all the same.

Close runner up would be the following gen, I was still a kid when that rolled over, albeit an older one. I remember refusing to accept that the PS2 was better than the PS1 when it first came out. Heheh.
