    Insane year for online gaming. Everquest, Counter-Stirke, Team Forteress and Unreal Tournament, I wished I could split into 4 to play them all.

    Didn't realize there were so many great games that year. I loved Everquest though and System Shock 2 is a cult classic.

    Great video. I hope you do more for other years like 1998, 1997 and so on. The 90's were the best for PC gaming. I subscribed.

    It says a lot about System Shock 2 that every time I play a similar game, I'm always waiting for "that twist" that I first remember seeing in Polito's room. I didn't trust Atlas further than I could throw him for example lol

    In March of 1999 there was released game called Heroes of Might and Magic III... did you ever hear about?! Not having it on the list is total disgrace, not to mention about Legacy of Kain.

      I know, I know...I made a long list of possible games, and those were certainly on the list. But at the end of the day they didn't quite make it in.

    Your videos are just awesome and you cover topics that all those self-proclaimed "Gaming Historians" out there don't. I immensely enjoy your uploads. Let's hope you soon will get the success you deserve on UA-cam!

      ​@@computergamingyesterdayCan u tell me game name? Game plot is like this: the girl has two laser guns. When game starts, a girl enter a room, a demon tries to stab her from backside with a trident. The demons were get killed by girl in the game, but they reappear on same place after some seconds. On the way she finds a hall having access to three rooms. The middle one is fire room. If she goes, she dies. She either had to choose left or right one. The right one was difficult. So I chooses left one. There were laser rods coming and going on the foot steps. After coming down she finds a demon, kills it and move further. Next there is a moving robot, that robot is like round sweeping machines . I can't kill it. It tries to give electric shock to me. If I fire, it goes in a hall and charges itself again and attack me. I had to move next room where I don't find anyone but someone kills me.
      It's a game around year 2000

    Not a masterpiece, but a unique and forgotten game from this year is Drakan.

    Nice list dude. I was gonna say Everquest for 1999 games, so I guess, Pepsiman?

      He did say it was going to be controversial. But damn, thanks for the warning.

      @computergamingyesterday  2 роки тому +1

      I didn't even think of it first. But when I got more serious it became clear it had to be on the list. And high on it, too.

  • @killval849

    Is that really what Homeworld looked like when it came out? It looks like a modern game, especially the cutscene

    • @computergamingyesterday
      @computergamingyesterday  2 роки тому +1

      No, it's not, it's from the remaster. I've used a mix of new and remastered clips for this video. Using only clips from an original release can look pretty awful on modern devices, unfortunately.

    Good old times i wish we could go back and relive those moments over again... gaming today sucks so bad all they focus on is dlss and other ba like ray tracing-. These old games looked like crap but they were fun still play them to this day. Serious sam was also a good one
