I was already becoming a serious gamer before this year (started in 1993) but 1998 is the year that sealed my fate and changed my life forever as a gamer with all of the legendary PS1, N64, and PC games that came out, still reliving 1998 on my PS1 even while life has me down living in a travel trailer. I miss 1998 so much, hope I can somehow bring my life back to the way it was before someday...
1998 was an insane year. Many of my all-time favorites are from that year: Grim Fandango Half-Life Ocarina of Time Metal Gear Solid Thief Banjo-Kazooie
PS1 - MediEvil - Metal Gear Solid - Crash Bandicoot 3 - Spyro the Dragon Nintendo 64 - The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time - Banjo & Kazooie - Mario Party - 1080 Snowboarding PC - Grim Fandango - Half Life Dreamcast - Sonic Adventure
Metal Gear Solid for PlayStation Ocarina of Time for Nintendo 64 Half Life for PC Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow for GameBoy and GameBoy Color 1998 is probably one of if not the best year of gaming.
I have fond memories of 98. More and more 3D accelerated games (me- a Diamond Viper 330 (2D/3D) and 2x 12meg Voodoo cards in SLI) on PC came out and it was the year I first got a cable modem. Like you have said you can't think of all the games and list them. But two come to mind from 98 that I really enjoyed; Might and Magic 6 and Starsiege Tribes. I have been enjoying your videos; nice job!
another great yeah for gaming Resident Evil 2, Suikoden 2, Star Craft, Star Ocean 2 and many more :), love your best games lists hope to see 1999 onwards soon :)

TurboMMaster There are many game i missed, for example Nightmare Creatures. It's very difficult to do a complete search. The other way is to take the entire '98 list from Mobygame and make a very, very long (and boring) video.
VideoGameGemsChannel I understand, Besides, I don't say that this is easy, or that vieo is bad, I just wanted to remind this great game. I belive that it deserves to be mentioned, It was quite popular in late 90's, at least in some regions.
Ocarina of Time is still my favorite game ever. The Second place is still for Metal Gear Solid. Plus Marvel vs Capcom, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Suikoden 2, Banjo Kazooie, F- Zero X, Resident Evil 2, Brave fencer Musashi, Radiant Silvergun, Sonic Adventure 1, Tenchu, Guilty Gear, Ergheiz, King of Fighters 98, Rouge Squadron... To me 1998 is still the best year in gaming.

I was a little iffy on some of these games too, but c'mon - this is one person's "best of" list. There were a lot of schmups and RPG's in these videos, and I'm not a huge fan of those... but hey, I still thought it was a cool retrospective. Maybe I'll make my own list some day. Anyhow, thanks for all the videos! I learned a few things, and I was able to put a name to some games I had completely forgotten about. Cheers!
Does anyone know a game that was a character with green hair, who had 3 powers fireball, ball (which looked like water), and a green tornado, the powers were selectable. I remember that the levels were also selectable, there was a forest, an ocean, a tree like the one with magic beans, etc. The game I think was for PC Windows 98. In one level we were fighting a witch who was throwing hearts at us and we had to kick them back or hit her with our hands. In the tree level we had to reach the top and get a key to enter a castle. Please, if anyone knows him, let me know, I would really appreciate it.

In my opinion This was the best year in the history of videogames...only for Metal gear in PS, Ocarina of time in N64, Half Life in Pc and....tecnically first editions of pokemon red blue and yellow in the rest of the world to the Game Boy (and Game Boy Color that was born in this year) only for this 4 pillars is enough....but: Banjo Kazooie? Resident Evil2? Grim fandango? Wario land 2? House of the dead 2? Goemon great adventure? Spyro the Dragon? Army men?...L....S...D....Dream...simu.....Ok this is Weird, but, Fucking one, nine, nine, eight!!
+retromentodo For me it was 2003. I only needed one new game that year; natural selection mod (HL engine). You can never make these lists to suit everyone. For me, Ocarina of time was just a hamfisted 3D remake of a link to the past; I wasn't easily impressed by 3D as I had seen it a dozen times on the amiga and in DOS on a "blazing fast" pentium 133 MHz. Majoras mask was when they were confident enough to make something new and amazing.
Whoever makes these videos are talented. But a lot of games included I have never heard of and don't look appeling. When I good game does pop up I get happy and then it goes to another boring one. For 1999 you should only include the good ones and some boring ones. Not trying to be a jerk just sharing my opinion.
the games you think look boring ... are they the RPGs or adventure games by any chance? some games just don't look interesting in small clips, that's all.
thanks for this moment of pure nostaligia!!!! So many great games this year!!!

Adam Larson Ok. Which games are boring?
Ann Larson Like boobies, for example.
the games you think look boring ... are they the RPGs or adventure games by any chance? some games just don't look interesting in small clips, that's all.
