Over the history of computer games I only really cared about Starcraft CounterStrike Jagged Alliance Civilization Duke Nukem So I guess 1998 still wins for Starcraft and HL. 1999 is a close 2nd though. Edit: phew, almost forgot The Duke | ||

There's no way that many top titles could be released within 2 weeks of each other anymore. I remember how hard it was to get a copy of OoT on launch day too. My stepbrother and I drove to so many stores until we found a Circuit City that had copies left. Tribes wasn't hugely popular, but it was the predecessor for the Battlefield series, Planetside, et al. It was years ahead of its time, suffered from patching problems, and lagged because almost no one had broadband in 1998. It still holds a special place in the hearts of everyone who played it back then. | ||
