For me it would be the period from 1993 through about 1999. The later portion of the SNES, the birth of the 32-bit era, the N64 and to a lesser degree the PS1, and of course the launch of the Dreamcast is about where my fondest of gaming memories end.

I'll always remember being a kid and playing Mario Kart, Yoshi's Island, Super Off Road, Super Punch Out, and more. We would take our SNES with us about anywhere we went. My grandma's basement, my uncle's room (when he still lived at his parents), on vacation trips. Takes me right back to being a kid when I think of it. I remember being so hyped for the N64, and spending days and weeks with nearly every game I ever got my hands on for it. The multi-player fun that was had year after year, with Mario Party, Goldeneye, Bomberman 64, and others. Later on discovering the wonders of the overlooked (for me) PS1, and being blown away by my friend's Sega Dreamcast, and having parents cool enough to run out and buy me one on the spot with Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi, and then experiencing Shenmue for the first time. Indeed, those were the days for me.

the SNES to PS1 era. My best friend and I were still playing the older systems well into the PS1/N64/Saturn Eara. Lots of hours on countless games and systems swapped between us. The Sega Dreamcast was also a very fondly remembered time.

azuredreams:
the era with these guys, in order, Nes, Sega Megadrive, PC 90s, SNES, PS1, PC early 2000s, and, yes, really, Wii.

Probably the period from '83 to the SNES.
I loved my Atari 2600 and my Game & Watches, and my dad would bring me to the local mall arcade on the weekends, where I became so good at Ms Pac Man and Q*Bert he only had to give me one or two quarters. Arcade games were everywhere; our local Mexican restaurant had Mr. Do in the waiting room, and we knew the waitress at our favorite family restaurant so well she would exchange a kiss for a quarter to play Ms Pac Man in their lobby.

Then I discovered the NES, Game Boy, Genesis, and SNES. My parents got me a SNES for Christmas 1991, but they didn't know I would take it out to play it before Christmas ;D

1993

It was then a gentle waning of enthusiasm until the Dreamcast and arcades finally took their last breath. I still play a lot. But it is mainly stuff from that era along with the Blizzard trinity of Warcraft, starcraft and Diablo.
