    Default What Generation are you???

    What gaming generation were you born into/grew up with?

    4 bit-pong, asteroids, good ol atari

    8 bit- NES FTW!

    16 bit- the SNES

    32 bit-, well i dont know much about if there ever was one of these, but sega genesis and other consoles around that time fit in

    64 bit- Playstation, N64

    128 bit- The gaming trinity of Gamecube, Xbox and PS2

    256 bit- PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii ^ ^

    as for me, it was a yearning for the SNES, but N64, and Wii this winter!

    I grew up with 64 bit. And 32 if Playstation is, in fact, 32 bit.

    I liked the SNES the best, because it had the best games. Besides, SNES started off as 16 bit, but it ended up 32 bit.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Playstation is 32-bit.

    I've been an 8-bit child of The Legend of Zelda from 7 years old.

    Well, I started with 8 bits, but mostly played 16 bits from when I was 9+, I guess.

    Well, I'm 14, but since I got the NES AFTER the SNES was released, and from there got the systems in generational order as prices dropped, would that make me a 3rd generation person?

    I did have a NES as a kid, and played Zelda, Megaman, and Legendary Wings like a fiend. Then I had a Genesis, a Sega CD, a Playstation, and then here we are today with my Ps2 and Gamecube...so I guess I started back in the 8-bit days. I feel old so I'm going to quit now.

    "Bits" are a pretty flimsy criterion for defining console generations. It's much more reliable to simply separate them by the years they were released and relevant. Like so.

    I grew up at the start of the 16 bit generation. Megadrive was my first console.

    I grew up, first system was Intellivision. So I guess according to your poll, I'm second generation. Though I did play a lot of the very first games ever made, such as Space War, first game ever. But that was much later than it's actual creation.

    well i went with what i knew how to most easily describe it. also, my bit "categories" might be off, but i hope people get the drift.
