Which generation gamer are you?

Last night watching "Rise Of The Video Game" they were talking about the different generations of gamers, from those around playing the first video games all the way up to the current games. It was an interesting thought and concept that stuck with me and I thought it might make an interesting poll. So, which generation gamer are you to begin with? Or do you consider yourself to be a mixture of more than one generation?

I would consider myself part of the second generation, though I could argue for one of the others if I wanted.

It amazes me to realize that something else said on the show is true too. Now there are generations that will never be able to remember a time when video games weren't available for play. It's hard to imagine that today's kids will never know a world without video games.

I'd say 4th generation, I haven't played anything before the Genesis, or TurboGrafx, and the later games...they usually are the remakes of the Genesis, and TurboGrafx
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

Second here too, but I really feel more like a mixture or third generation.

I think I'm more of a mix between the 3rd and 4th generations, though my first system was a NES! I believe my second was a Sega Genesis -- not too sure, as it could've been the SNES. Hard to remember, since it's been sooo long.

...God, you people make me feel so noobish. I'd consider myself Fifth Generation. I honestly didn't get addicted untill I got my Game Boy Color with a copy of Game and Watch Gallery 3. (Yeah, it got me real hooked. XD)

That being said...I'm sort of Retro, and I do play more things fitting in the Third and Fourth Generation. But can I at least get credit for knowing what the Magnavox Odyssey was?
