    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.

    Are you planning to make a compilation for 1999?



  10. Adam Larson on December 10, 2020 at 9:15 pm

    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.



  11. Nick Brosnan on December 10, 2020 at 9:16 pm

    Where’s 1999+?



  12. VerbalFranck on December 10, 2020 at 9:16 pm

    Parasite Eve.



  13. KATIE NERD GIRL on December 10, 2020 at 9:17 pm

    bel video ragazzi



  14. Dios67 on December 10, 2020 at 9:19 pm

    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!



  15. Vic on December 10, 2020 at 9:23 pm

    Thanks to you i have found a game whicn i have forgot. Go on. Make 1999, 2000



  16. Chase Redd on December 10, 2020 at 9:24 pm

    Shining Force III and Panzer Dragoon Saga are the two greatest games ever made IMO.

    1999?



  38. Andrew Tyler on December 10, 2020 at 9:51 pm

    god damn 1998 was an epic year in gaming



  39. Mark Smyth on December 10, 2020 at 9:52 pm

    Some of these games were great. Most were dull, boring and irritating.



  40. retromentodo on December 10, 2020 at 9:54 pm

    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!! 



  41. kornnut43 on December 10, 2020 at 9:57 pm

    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!



  42. amro Freeman on December 10, 2020 at 9:57 pm

    give us 1999



  43. MCH122790 H on December 10, 2020 at 9:57 pm

    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…



  44. JetLoneStarr on December 10, 2020 at 9:59 pm

    amazing 



  45. Alianger on December 10, 2020 at 9:59 pm

    Keep it going!

    Good work.



  47. Michelle Torez on December 10, 2020 at 10:00 pm

    Best year for gaming ever



  48. Alianger on December 10, 2020 at 10:00 pm

    My only complaint is that the games go by a bit too fast, it’s a nice collection of games and music.



  49. pichonCalavera on December 10, 2020 at 10:01 pm

    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
