The Best Video Games Of 1999 🎮

1999. A time when we hoped that the new millenium would bring peace and prosperity to our world. That went well, didn’t it? People in 1999 may have been deluded, but they had a stack of excellent videogames to choose from. When they weren’t looking for nudes of Britney Spears via ancient internet modems, that is.

    Enjoyed the 1999 list. Including the intro. And lol @ the Sega 9-9-99 reference and Tony Hawk jokes. Solid list. Yes, your little son must’ve had skills to beat Crazy Taxi. A beautiful, yet hard game to master! Sidenote: I appreciate that you’re always generous with inclusion of honorable mentions.

    J: this will be my "treat" for today. And interested to find out where (if) Perfect Dark 64 will place on your 1999 list. Thank you for producing these year-by-year countdowns. A valuable contribution, and reference tool for the gaming community. You are the man! Take care. Vin

    Excellent musings from the last century , I love the disclaimer.

    That ribbon rhythm game looks awesome, never even heard of that one.

    I’d still prefer to have root canal surgery with no anesthetic than every again play a grand tourismo game, driving cars is really not a fun thing to do, if I’m going to do it in a game I need something very arcadey. It’s the same with all those job simulator things like the trucking ones, I already have a job that isn’t always much fun, why would I spend my precious gaming hours simulating another.

    I love the story about Crazy Taxi and your little lad, glad you’ve passed on the gaming bug and that he’s already thrashing his old man at games :).

    I do love a subjective list as they vary so widely , great stuff fella.
