I'd suspect it's probably the average age of people voting, obviously. Where more people probably remember 2000 year games, vs. 1990. And that for some of those people, obviously they remember gaming from 2000, better than 1990. Which for some of them, may've mostly been before their time.

I predicted it earlier, that probably a year from the late 90s or early 2000s will be the ultimate winner of this contest. Wouldn't be suprised if a mid 2000s year won, for all I may guess. I don't think any of the 2010s years will be the ultimate winner,though.

Yeah I think it will either be an 80s, 90s, 00s, or 10s year

2000 is completely stacked. Only thing 1990 has is SMB3. That just isn't enough.

2000 had Valkyrie Profile, which is a better game than SMB3.

Because 2000 has a Zelda game and Zelda is inexplicably and utterly loved by the children on this board. Even Super Mario Bros. 3 and the birth of Final Fantasy can't compete with a Zelda game to these people.

The median birth date here is around 1990. Most people here probably had the SNES as their first console, and if it was Genesis they probably didn't play anything before Sonic 1.

Average date of birth from last age poll was June 5, 1988. Going by that, most people probably had an SNES or Genesis as their first console.

I certainly didn't get stuck with SMB3 as there are many other great games from that year.

(Isn't 2000 the past too?)

1990 is losing because 2000 is closer to 1998 than 1990.

Next contest should be: Which is the best age to have for gaming? And according to the average GF age, and if we're to believe '98 is the strongest I shall bet for... 10 years old.

I almost forgot about that contest, back in 2006. But I wouldn't be surprised, if that contest follows the best gaming year contest at some point.

1990 isn't a bad year but 2000 is GOAT-tier. The majority of the DreamCast's active lifespan in the US was the year 2000. It was the year the N64 got BT, Perfect Dark, Majora's Mask, Mario Party 2, Ogre Battle 64, etc. The PS1 got a shitton of JRPGs that year. The PS2 released. Pokemon Gold and Silver.
