Whenever you were 10-14
When I was 14 I played Ladder.
So no, not my favourite era for games.
This is the answer. Experience is subjective and what feels best to people is going to be heavily biased by where they were in their lives at the time.
"What was the best era to be aged 10-14 and into video games?" is a subtly different question.
