The
fifth-generation era refers to the computer and video games, video game consoles, and video game handhelds available at stores. The fifth generation lasted approximately from 1993 to 2002
and was dominated by three consoles, the
Sega Saturn, the
Sony PlayStation, and the
Nintendo 64. Demographics in console sales varied widely, but these three consoles, especially the PlayStation, defined the
system wars of this era. The
FM Towns Marty,
Amiga CD32,
3DO,
NEC PC-FX,
Sega 32X, and
Atari Jaguar were also part of this era, but their sales were poor and they failed to make a significant impact on the market, though the
Amiga CD32 sold well during the seven months that it was supported. This era also saw three updated versions of
Nintendo's
Game Boy:
Game Boy Light,
Game Boy Pocket, and
Game Boy Color.
