I'd say cuein up the joystick from an atari 2600 and settle in for a day of Pitfall was fairly golden for me...

    Which is why now is the best time. I can turn on my 2600 right now and play. Or emulate every atari game ever made on a $20 computer (i prefer real hardware though)

    I have 2600/7800/nes/SNES/n64/ps1/ps2/Dreamcast/360/switch and PC. There's few games I can't play.

    Now in 20 years a lot of those systems will be unfixable and rare. So I'd say we are in the golden age now, start playing!!
