	128-bit era
		Bit ratings for consoles largely fell by the wayside after the 16-bit era, with the notable exception of the Nintendo 64.
		The reason for this is twofold: The bit ratings had signified the possible color depth of the console.
		The era to follow this one is set to begin in late 2005 when the three current hardware game companies will release their next-generation consoles.

		By 1996, the 16-bit era of gaming had ended, and a new generation of consoles, including Nintendo's own Nintendo 64, caused the popularity of the SNES to wane.
		Proponents of SNES emulation cite as arguments for their continued distribution: the discontinued production of the SNES, the right of the owner of the respective game to make a personal backup, the frailty of SNES cartridges (even though cartridges are far more durable than optical discs), and the lack of certain foreign imports.
		Starting in the 128-bit era, both Nintendo and emulation proponents began to have a less active stance on this issue.

		All of this has to be achieved through the use of weapons of wanton carnage and a bit of jungle survival knowledge - such as climbing up vines, swimming through crocodile infested waters and knowing what leaves are strong enough to wipe your bum with.
		Including flight sections into the mix is something that the developers have always wanted to do, and now that machines have hit the 128-bit era their ambition is now a reality.
		Controlling your flight enabled dinosaur is a bit tricky at first, and there's no way to slow down which is really quite frustrating on some of the speedier sections where you have to avoid oncoming objects.

	256-bit era
		The 256-bit era is the upcoming video game era, which is set to begin sometime in 2006.
		This era will also see a new portable console by Nintendo, the Nintendo DS, and a portable console by Sony, the Sony PSP.
		Other information on this era of gaming are unavailable as of yet, although Backwards Compatability seems to be a early theme.

		However, as these are arriving at the end of the current generation, it is unlikely that major changes in the market will be clear before the next generation begins in late 2005 to early 2006.
		The number of "bits" cited in console names referred to the CPU word size, but there was little to be gained from increasing the word size much beyond 32 or 64 bits - performance depended on more varied factors, such as processor clock speed, bandwidth and memory size.
		The current era is often referred to as the "128 bit era" which was encouraged by video game manufactures and media, and is misleading.

	Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Wikipedia
		By this point, the superior technical capabilities of the SNES, combined with a great deal of mistakes by Sega such as the Sega CD allowed the SNES to take the lead, beating out the Genesis by a fair, but still relatively close, margin.
		Game cartridges, depending on which market they were released in, were of different shapes to restrict the playing of games intended for a single market and to control pricing in those markets.
		Most games used 256x224 pixels since higher resoulutions caused slowdown, flicker, and/or had increased limitations on layers and colors (due to memory bandwidth constraints); the higher resolutions were used for less processor-intensive games, in-game menus, text, and high resolution images.

	Orchestra
		As the early 20th century dawned, symphony orchestras were larger, better funded and better trained than ever before, and consequently composers could compose larger and more ambitious works for them.
		With the recording era beginning, the standard of performance reached a pinnacle, with many older conductors and composers remembering a time when simply "getting through" the music as best as possible was the standard.
		Recently, as part of the 128-bit era of video gaming, orchestras have assembled for use in video game scores, most notably Super Smash Brothers Melee.

		Of course you could make arguements that the Turbo belonged in the 8 bit era and that the DC is 1st generation 3/d but this is the way I view things...
		The 16 bit era had the greatest volume of good games, the 32 bit era had the arcade ports(and yes many of the 2D games in this era were better than their 16 bit counterparts.

	Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nintendo would never achieve market leadership in Europe and did not manage to do so in the US until 1994, benefiting from the SNES's superior graphical capabilities and Sega's unsuccessful launch of the Sega CD.
		Some video game critics consider the SNES era "the golden age of video games," citing the many groundbreaking games and classics made for the system,[1] whereas others question this romanticism.
		Most games used 256x224, 320x224, 512x224 pixels since higher resoulutions caused slowdown, flicker, and/or had increased limitations on layers and colors (due to memory bandwidth constraints); the higher resolutions were used for less processor-intensive games, in-game menus, text, and high resolution images.

		The GBA is also a 32 bit system, but with the lack of 3D graphics, it fits in more with the 16 bit era.
		The reason I did is because the 8 bit machines were the ones that started it all and paved the way for the much better 16, 24, 32, and 128 bit machines.
		The 128 bit era shouldn't be in the poll, because it's not over yet, we can't exactly know what the future holds for the "new" systems.

		Inter-sprite and sprite-background priorities could be specified, and the GTIA chip would detect all collisions between sprites and background and latch these in registers, indicating the sprites which had been involved in the collision.
		The implementation was more flexible than that of the Commodore 64, in which a single bit registered sprite-sprite collisions and another flagged sprite-background collisions, requiring further testing of extent overlaps to determine which sprite had been involved.
		In all cases, when multicolor mode was selected, pairs of bits in display memory were used to specify the color (background, multicolor1, multicolor2 and foreground).

	TotalPlayStation \| PS2 - Reviews - Mega Man X8
		The core gameplay, while mercifully lower in those 3D shooting bits, is still pretty much what you've known for years now, and can swing from beat-it-in-a-single-go-in-three-minutes easy to retry-over-and-over-twenty-times-until-you-luck-into-moving-on tough, making for a frustratingly uneven experience.
		There are a couple of levels that seek to turn things around, such as one where entire rooms can rotate 90 or 180 degrees, shifting the contents around in fun ways, but by and large the real attraction here is just seeing all the little graphical updates Capcom finally gave the game.
		The music for the most part is basic at best, but the short little bits that play during some of the game menus are amazingly good.

	The Hindu : Booting desktops into 64-bit era
		The recent launch of the Athlon 64-bit chip family enables users of the Windows or Linux desktop or notebook personal computer to leave the 32-bit era behind them and move on to the next generation of 64-bit computing.
		In doubling the number of digital chunks or bits of data that a chip can handle at any time from 32 to 64, computers will also sharply increase the amount of main memory that PC can usefully deploy.
		While today's average PC comes with 128, 256 or 512 megabytes of random access memory (RAM), the new 64-bit computers will, in practice, easily gobble up 1-5 Gigabytes of memory — that's almost a 1000-fold increase.

		The side-scrolling shooting genre is a dying breed, as attested by the lack of release of such titles since the advent of the 32-bit era, which placed an increasing emphasis on 3D graphics and gameplay.
		The only addition to the gameplay technique is the ability to control the option clones in the weapons array, a welcome addition to the well aged traditional gameplay.
		Overall, Gradius V combines the best of retro gaming with the refinements of 128-bit era technology and is certainly one of the best games of 2004.
