Which decade had better games? I know theyre different and 80s was mostly like text adventures and 90s was more of collectathons or graphics based

90's easily, 80's had a lot of innovation and many genres were born but 90's is when they were truly refined and came into their own, along really strong newcomers like fighting games. They had a perfect combination of soul/restraint from small dev teams, passion and limitations and freedom that came from more powerful hardware. Early 3D is kind of shit though, so is the rise of garbage genres like JRPG's.

Same as rap music

80s stuff was "influential" etc but technology and refinement of a new medium means that the 90s win, hands down, every time, unless you're old as fuck or a contrarian hipster

80's games were not all text. Early 80's games were graphically primitive like Atari 2600 and Intellivision. Nintendo and Sega made "realistic" graphics in the mid to late 80's. That said, the golden age of gaming was the 90's.
16-bit consoles were a huge jump and advertised as home arcade machines.

When will Lil Pump be retro? Lil Pump is 19 years old, he should be retro by now.
