This Era of Video Games was Different

I was born in 1995. It was kind of difficult to hold a controller when I couldn't hold my bowels. My first memory of gaming was in 1999... so four years of video games passed without me ever seeing those games. Today I want to find out what those games were like.
Did I miss some great games? Or were they all "meh" and I was born in the perfect gaming era.
