The golden age ends roughly 16 years after the birth of the observer.



Ha ha, I get your point, but the GAoVG is a specific era, roughly 1979-1985. :)

Restricting to arcade games is probably justified. I'd say we are in the golden age of video games right now---at least in terms of popularity. And you can still get remakes of all the good old games, or even play the originals.


Well, there was a first golden age, which was followed by nintendo and the street fighter era, and so on. That's fine you want to make up new Golden Ages -- more good attention to video games the better -- but be sure people aren't thinking of the earlymid 80s when you use the term for other purposes.
