I started with Atari 2600 on a black and white TV. PS2 is the newest console I have. I'm still buying and playing PS2 games. Haven't seen a need to go any further (other than a couple games I'd like to play.)
10 years of being GenX:
year 1: monochromatic primary-coloured graphics on a ZX Spectrum/chunky sprites on a Commodore 64/dying of dysentery and NTSC colour fringing on an Apple II
year 10: 4096-colour 3D graphics and digitised sound on an Amiga/playing Microsoft Flight Simulator on a 1024x768 multisync monitor
None of those games are an improvement over Chrono trigger
Strictly in 3d graphic capacity, just about.
Though Ocarina (1998) was only three years after Chrono Trigger (1995).
Star Fox came out in 1993 and was kind of the defining '3D' game and would've been perfect for this meme.
