From N64 onwards, but the SNES was pivotal to my life playing video games growing up.

GameCube's last game being Madden 08 is funny.

My story is really NES and SNIN.

Well, at least you didn't miss out on the golden age... the Super NES era is just perfect!
Especially if you like RPGs.
But that's not to say there isn't great stuff in later generations - there certainly is!
Hope you still had some chances to sample stuff, like when visiting friends, for instance.

Oh we had all the nintendo consoles in my home! But mines were the first two :)

Oh, I see. Cool, cool.

But yeah, the fact that I lived through all these generations makes me feel old too... almost like Grampa Simpson. >_<

In 30 years, we'll be really old.Let us time to be old :D

Born during the NES window so there from the start I guess! Though honestly we were always a Sega family. If many of the heavy hitter RPG's on the SNES had PAL releases it may have been different!

PAL regions got Terranigma...

LOL, it's really good, but even so, that's not a fair trade for losing out on Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars, and others...
