When was the golden age of gaming?

Famicon era/ dragonquest 1-4 era

not when this picture was taken, that's for sure

Anything before online patches became a thing.

1995-2005. There's no dispute. Yes, the gaming industry started to rise before then, but just look at the games released during that period, it's fucking ridiculous.

Why does this picture exist? Whores didn't get bootlegs shirts of japanese magazines back then.

Man, I wish N64 use zip-based cartridge media + CPS3 cut down architecture

>CPS3 cut down architecture
whats this?

whenever your favorite games came out. the bad practices and quality fluctuated several times.
these days AAA games are kinda awful to the consumer but at least indie games are making up for it if you have a decent pc maybe...

i personally preferred when you didn't have to cash in or partake in limited events to unlock "extra" content already present in my disc/files.
everybody had the same copy.

The hair dye immediately gives it away, it's a staged photoshoot.

this.

For me, the years with most condensed good stuff was 1998-2002 as a simple answer. The complex answer is that it’s genre dependent, for example it feels good as fuck to be a simfag today, but thinking about the state of RTS games or tactical shooters makes me cry.

That pic is modern. You can see how cheap the woman looks compared to a real 90s girl.

1988-2003

right now is golden era for feminism and LGBTQGEHAJAREGAVRVA

this
the genesis marked the start of gaming becoming great, the PS2 the beginning of this slump

1994 to 2002

None of them game or are having any real fun, it's all rage porn twitter posts to get their blood pumping.

for me it was the makeup. girls back then had darker lipstick and eye makeup was different...

2006-2012
Golden age of MMOs.

Don't remind me user.

From the late 90's until the release of the iphone

For actual games I would say 2015 and earlier. For porn games I say now.

>hair dye didn't exist... because it just didn't, okay?

>2003
The year where SNES and N64 ended production.

Why are zoomers taking pics like this?

FOMO

I have to admit, with the lighting and that old school polaroid look, I was almost convinced

From Sega Saturn to Gameboy Advance

It's what their orbiters are asking for.

the lighting is especially fake to me.\
would've been a camera flash with red eye not ambient photo shoot shit

Girls didn't do that shit to their hair in the 90s
fuck this poser shit

Not him, but no one died there hair like that in the 90's. It's true what they say about styles, you can date someone by an era. The only time where it becomes really difficult is in the last 10 years. Everything blends together. Trends changes so fast too, back then a trend could last 5 - 10 years

because the world is going to the shitter(economy/environment/guilt/etc.)
so zoomer want to have been born is a less anxiety driven era. larping as a 70's/80's/90's/2000's kid helps them coping a bit. can't blame them.

Literally right now as you have more games than ever to play on any hardware you want.

>guitar with christmas lights
god this image can't get anymore staged if it tried
why does this upset me

...

Amazing how girls have resorted to doing nothing but using search engine optimization by filling their life with hentai pokemon anime gamer stepsis garbage and calling themselves real life anime girls and dipping their toes in your nostalgia so legions of virgins hand over money by the fistful.
