jackson lloyd-the sage, the storyteller, the catalyst of change-has returned! 🙌🎉 Picture this: The sun rises, casting a golden hue upon the play button. The screen flickers to life, and there, bathed in the soft glow of pixels, stands our hero. 🌅 The chat section buzzes with anticipation. “Where have you been?” they ask. “Why did you leave?” But jackson lloyd merely smiles-a Mona Lisa grin that holds secrets and promises. 🤫 And then, with a flourish, the video begins. The intro music swells-a symphony of hope, resilience, and pixelated dreams. 🎶✨

[@FrameRater]

Great production quality, keep it up!

Thank you bro means a lot!

Thank you dude you’re awesome

[@MarioSonicB127]

Damn its not everyday you see a channel grow. I always was partial to the 2000s, the energy gaming had is unmatch and truely unique.

[@jacksonlloyd]

I’m just happy to be here after making videos for so long lol. 2000s are my era I’ll defend it forever

[@Elzrydo]

Never played many games growing up, but having the DS as a kid was a really strong tool that defined my life as a whole

[@CwitiwinChinzal]

this is an amazing video! the quality is up there with the likes of nakey jakey and Scott the woz. Whole video was fun to watch and made me feel happy that other people have had the same experience with video games as I did.

Dude that means the world to me, and yeah they definitely inspired me so I really appreciate the words! I’m glad you enjoyed the vid

I really appreciate your mention of Disney extreme skate adventure. Severely underrated

i miss the early 2000s era of gaming, the devs actually have passion on their project. Your video is very fantastic at describing them

First video I’ve seen from your channel and you COOKED HARD. Can’t wait to see more :)

[@jacksonlloyd]

Thank you bro!

[@PhilipVsTheWorldShorts]

Xbox the first one is a gem I never experienced, the theme/logs and over all vibe is out of this world, really wish they would go back to that theme, instead of this mid era. W video btw keep it up man. More bangers like this you have great potential

[@jacksonlloyd]

Miss the aesthetic of the first Xbox, it’s so much more bland now

[@PhoenixKeebs]

Sega even today has the coolest console names. The genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast all sound sick

[@jacksonlloyd]

Banger after banger name

[@ssg-eggunner]

Tbh I prefer the name mega drive over genesis

[@tonythat_tiger]

Thank u for bringing me down nostalgia lane man loved every second with this production quality ❤ love u dad

[@Vulpas]

4th-6th gen was objectively the golden era, '89-'04. There was good stuff before and after but that period is unmatched.

[@jacksonlloyd]

I’d throw the 7th gen in there too but I agree that was an amazing time for gaming

[@Vulpas]

@@jacksonlloyd 7th was pretty good, better than 1-3 but I think it was a clear step down from the rest, especially for certain genres like RPG. FPS did peak there though tbh.

[@arthurgamerpro6585]

here comes boomer who thinks he's the center of the universe

[@Vulpas]

@@arthurgamerpro6585 lol here comes the kid who thinks the repetitive woke current generation is the best

[@arthurgamerpro6585]

@@Vulpas lie, 7th and 8th generation are the best and I feel more playing video games than the crappy 6th generation (and the current one)

[@merakimerakimeraki]

In awe of your editing aesthetic

[@jacksonlloyd]

Thank you bro, really means a lot

[@MSDGAMEZ]

Think about how lucky we are to be kids and gamers at one certain point in history that we were. 90s and early 2000s will forever be in my heart

[@Em-VR]

Worth every minute it took to make this Video. Absolute banger going through all these different console generations and staying relatively objective while recounting your own stories. I've watched some videos where they try to focus on the documentary style but their own opinions still slide through and here we have someone giving his own opinions while still highlighting other great consoles! The Dreamcast has always felt like the greatest console I've never had. All these amazing games that I later ended up playing on other platforms. So I'm very happy to see it get a little highlight inbetween.

[@jacksonlloyd]

Genuinely thank you bro, I really tried to just respect all consoles (except the Atari jaguar). I think too often there’s so much animosity amongst consoles, when really we should just appreciate them all. They all offer something unique, like the Dreamcast for example. Really appreciate everything you said

[@kel_ski]

So this is what it feels like to discover a hidden gem of a channel. Subbed brother, good stuff right here

[@jacksonlloyd]

Thank you brother really appreciate that

[@ltcobra.]

editing is cold af, nice video

[@ChuckE.CheesesIllinois]

6th Generation was the best era, a lot of good games, and very interesting stuff with the big 4

[@jacksonlloyd]

Valid take

[@HollowRick]

Completely agree

[@Faisalthefist]

Gamecube era?

ok boomer

Damn thank you dude that means a lot

[@connorbolton3934]

When I saw the subscriber count, I was too stunned to speak. The way you make videos is incredible production value off the charts, the narrative you held my entire attention no skips which thanks to tiktok and short form content is brilliant. Nice one man.

Great video and coverage of video game history! I was very lucky to grow up when I did having great memories with the consoles and games I had access to. The late 90s and the 2000s were my era and I'm truly blessed.

Thank you bro that was a great era for sure

Thank you my guy appreciate that!

Relaly enjoyed this bro!

[@frickinawesome]

This was a great retrospective on the console gaming eras, first vid from you I’ve ever watched and your humor, editing and amusing summaries especially of the gaming eras you didn’t exist through earned yourself an automatic subscribe 😃 I’m both proud and creaky to say I’ve lived through all generations of video game existence except the first one, being born in 1977 meant my earliest years of gaming were full of Atari games and their hypnotic strobe and color effects, along with a million other strange and marvelous consoles at the time, as well as tons of PC games and arcade games which were left out of the eras in this video. I’d have to say the original 8bit NES and SNES/Genesis were my favorite eras of gaming, although N64 is up there as well for the giant 3D leap forward it provided from the previous generation… I’ll never forget the feeling of Mario 64 and gleefully running around discovering every move you can do with Mario for an hour before even thinking of heading into the castle to begin the game because the 3D movement was so radically different and done to perfection. The console wars between sega and genesis was something to live through, you HAD to pick a side and passionately argue about your console’s superiority at the back of English class with this one kid for an entire year… hypothetically of course! Looking back, I’m ashamed how susceptible we all were to the (admittedly awesome) advertising of the age, but mortal kombat II on SNES was the first console game that was truly as powerful as the arcade game- even if later on I found out it really wasn’t but it sure FELT like that at the time. Im a switch dude nowadays, play a ton of Zelda and Mario kart with my son and wife, but I don’t think games can ever impact me quite as much as the ones I played 85-95 again. I mean when super Mario bros, Castlevania and mike Tyron’s punch out were released I could literally think about nothing else all day at school than being able to run to my neighbor’s house to get lost in these worlds over and over. Really looking forward to more from you dude 🤘

[@jacksonlloyd]

Thank you man! Loved reading your story, I think that’s awesome that you got to live through some of the stuff I talked about in the video

[@benaiah2119]

Awsome video man gave me a sense of nostalgia. My favorite era was definitely modern because I had most of my experience during it (I was born in 2005) but I grew up with my Wii and Xbox 360 and I’ll never forget the fun I had.

[@lenzoftruth1480]

Great video editing and a fun watch Jackson!! The Gamecube nostalgia tho. I've been having fun creating Nintendo content on my channel and i'm glad I found yours. You have a new subscriber :)

[@gwenicetray]

fantastic video, very relatable as someone who grew up in a similar era and went along a similar trajectory of interests. one silver lining of modern gaming to me, is that those of us who grew up in that golden era are now developing and releasing video games which gives me hope for the future especially in the PC/indie spheres.

[@jacksonlloyd]

this is amazing man keep it up!

[@jacksonlloyd]

Thank you bro

[@hightideahead]

I grew up with the 360 but after going back into retro gaming and emulation, I think the 6th generation takes the cake for the best generation. There's an insane amount of good games shared across the Gamecube, Dreamcast, PS2, and Xbox, that I tend to forget those consoles all came out in the same time span. also The Simpsons: Hit and Run is awesome, I never cared about the Simpsons as a kid but it's probably the best licensed game I've ever played. Replaying it at the moment

[@jacksonlloyd]

Such a good generation it’s insane, and Simpsons H&R is a fckin classic!

[@twistedroots717]

That Pong era bit made me spit out my drink. 😂

[@jacksonlloyd]

lol glad you enjoyed the bit

[@ChampionRevilo]

Duuude! I feel like we share a lot! It was hard being a Nintendo fan during the DVD player, erm, excuse me, PS2 era. I hated it as well back then but I did like the XBOX because my older cousin who I looked up to had one. The N64 was also my 1st console that I personally owned but my parents did have both an NES and SNES (as well as the OG GameBoy.

[@jacksonlloyd]

That amazing bro glad you could relate haha

[@Nostalgia_Road]

Great Video! Love the editing style!

[@jacksonlloyd]

Thank you bro!

[@theogofguitar]

You’re a generation ahead of where I started but man it reminds me how those eras still were revelation. OR maybe I’m so old I don’t get that young gamer nostalgia. My kid shifts between a tablet and Roblox and Gamepass, we aren’t quite at the “I GOT PS5 AND GOW AND I CANT PLAY ANYTHING LIKE THIS”….I also have all the consoles as I’m a gamer where I had to pick a side back in the day cuz my folks thought it was all the same. My era was I’m Sega all the way for years until I beg for the next gen that was probably years after it’s release. I’m hoping the next gen my kid is hyped enough to where we can camp out in line on launch just excited to see what the next big thing is.

[@SalveASMR]

That video style immediately clicked with me. Keep it up man. 👏

[@jacksonlloyd]

Super happy you enjoyed

[@liltexiko1117]

Never in my life would i expect someone to mention champions in a video about game eras. That game is goated

NBA + gaming analysis commentary is all I need at 22 year olds. Great video, liked the editing - felt like it was from a much bigger channel.

[@kaboomkp]

For me, my first console was a GameCube but when I was very young and it was a hand-me-down. Besides a GBA a friend had loaned me a few times, my first device that I had to myself was a Nintendo DS Lite. My dad worked at Microsoft at the time whose building is right next to Nintendo of America headquarters; consequently he had a few friends who worked there who really formed my love for gaming (which is weird because I haven't thought about them in years)

[@jacksonlloyd]

Thank you bro

[@jacksonlloyd]

That’s crazy that your dad actually worked at Microsoft, kids use to threaten with that back in the Xbox 360 days lmao

[@PhantoRoyce]

I would love to see the AAA scene return to the level of quality games it was back in the 2000s, just gotta have more focus on making the game fun, less focus on encouraging players to be whales, making sure the game's not a buggy mess at launch. Luckily we still have indie games being just that to this day.

I think it's really cool that you actually played the older games when you were younger and could appreciate them. I can tell you are probably 10+ years younger than me, yet we have a lot of the same memories of our favorite eras. A lot of other KZbinrs would be like "I never played these but they look cool" or "I tried them for this video and they're really outdated" but it's cool to see a young essayist actually have that experience!

[@jacksonlloyd]

I was always nostalgic for the past, even for eras I never experienced. I’ll always be glad I still got to experience some of those games
