OG Xbox wasn't that common - everyone, including some chicks, owned N64s and Mario Kart/Goldeneye.

Date: April 22nd, 2025 2:41 PM Author: ;...;;;;...;. Clearly Goldeneye. Was played by all Millennials, not just gamers.
It was popular for many years after its 1997 release (especially because of its multiplayer), and was played by a wide range of ages -- thus covering a huge portion of the Millennial base.
Even many girls played it given how popular it was with their brothers, male friends, etc. |

GTA 3 was the one that we would crowd around the TV and watch people play, rack up police stars, etc.
Vice City was basically the Same Game. |

Date: April 22nd, 2025 3:05 PM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) maybe for xo nerds (including me), but a couch multiplayer game like goldeneye or mario kart is probably tcr. the built in 4 ports on the n64 meant it was primarily owned by friend-havers so the single player gems like mario 64 and OOT also slide in in a way ff7 doesn't.
ff7 is *my* millennial game though. |

Youngest millennials were BORN in 1996. And the average age of player was fairly old compared to later console games. More of a younger GenX game.

Date: April 22nd, 2025 3:30 PM Author: Cyberpunk Age Pervert Actually seems a bit cr. Pokemon is the highest grossing IP ever and Pokemania was genuinely out of control for years.

Date: April 22nd, 2025 5:31 PM Author: Oh, You Travel? ( ) For some reason the older people get, the more they forget that 7 year olds can play video games to completion... 9 year olds can beat Earthbound... 12 year olds can play guitar... and 10 year olds can play Fake Guitar. Gamefaqs posters and redditors who suck at video games think you need to be like 18 to finish Super Mario RPG or something.
Anyway iirc zoomers start in '97 but these demarcation points are made-up. The millennial starting point needs to be early enough to cover Klebold and Harris. Gen X didn't do school shootings. |
