Saturday afternoon challenge - Pick a year!

[orderoftheflame]

A bit of fun.

Rules:

• Pick the year you think was the ultimate year for video games so far.
• You have to name five games to justify why you think it was the best.
• You can only have one year. If you think two years were good, you have to choose between them.
• Bonus brownie points if you post up the box art of the games to get the nostalgia going.

My year is 1998:

would be 98/99 for me

i'll go with 99

And System Shock 2, Planescape Torment, Counter Strike.

But those two sick puppies are the main reason

My year is 2003:

+ The Half Life 2 2003 E3 conference hype.

This was (I think) my first year owning a real gaming PC and it was a very memorable year for me.

Hold on to you're hats its all about 1994

LucasArts Tie Fighter (this on its own could win)

Microprose UFO: Enemy Unknown
Blizzard Warcraft (which went on to spawn all sorts)

That was just the PC

Sorry but the topic ended in the first post. Nothing can compete with 1998.

On top of the games you mentioned, there was also Age of Empires, Unreal, Rainbow Six, Thief and Fallout 2.

And on consoles there was Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Rogue Squadron, Banjo Kazooie and Turok 2.

1999 for me :

1999 was a really, really unproductive year for me
