Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I am struggling on this one.
I want to say the 4th, but that may be rose tinted glasses. SNES and Genesis were amazing, games were finished, no DLC, no updates, no accounts, no online, but the more I look at it, the more I think that is rose tinted because of other family and societal issues at the time. But 16 bit hardware is ALWAYS special to me.
Then I’m tied on 6th or 7th (6-7, if you will). The era of local co-ops with Xboxes and 360s (I think you could link 360s the same way?) networked together is hard to beat. Halo-Halo 3 with friends are some of my fondest teenage memories. 16 people on 4 Xboxes was amazing, and I’m sad it’s not really a thing anymore. My PS3 still gets used, my Wii is amazing, it opened up games to non gamers. My GameCube was awesome for its time. It’s tough to say. But I’m gonna go with 7th gen for my halo 3 and halo 3 master chief 360, sadly gone now.
