Just curious. When, in your humble abandonia-biased opinion, was the golden age?

EDIT: For the record. IMHO, the golden age was the C64 era, simply because of the availability/prices, number of genres (when was the lastest space invaders clone released for XP?), ingenuity in gameplay, addictiveness level, beauty through simplicity, and last: Many ground breaking genres were invented in this era. I know that most of the arcade games were later written for the 64 and suchlike, but the flood of games and the broad variety at that time is, to me anyway, still mindnumbing.
