98 has some of my favorite games to ever come out, like:
- Marvel vs. Capcom
- 1080 Snowboarding
- NFS3 Hot Pursuit
- Tekken 3
- Starcraft + Brood wars
- Commandos
- Fifa 99
- Pokemon
- Fallout 2
- Half Life
- Ocarina of Time
- Baldur’s Gate
And many more
It blows my mind how many iconic games came out that year, looking at that list… Also Sonic Adventure, Goldeneye and Ocarina of Time all came out in the same year??
Not to mention Metal Gear Solid, Spyro the Dragon, Turok 2, and Gex: Enter the Gecko
It reminds me of how Weird Al’s wonderful movie UHF didn’t do great in theaters, being released in the summer of 1989. That meant it was competing against the following blockbusters:
- Ghostbusters II
- Back to the Future Part II
- Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
- Lethal Weapon 2
- Batman
- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
