I remember the days of the ATARI 2600 and playing Frogger or Star Wars... good times good times...

To me the "good old days" would be defined as the real console war between Sega and Nintendo and the days when the arcade scene was in its Renaissance period... so about 85-95 ah fun times indeed.

My favorite era would be 94-2000 the late SNES days the birth and death of the Sega Saturn and the entire PS1 era. We saw the rise of a few famous franchises in the world market; that to this day still define a console's success. Technology finally caught up with ideas and every system had something substantial to offer.
