    Final Fantasy VI (or III as it was known then). Just a masterpiece with great music, a great story, great characters, and fun gameplay.

    Sonic Adventure.

    If 1998 in Japan and 1999 everywhere else is too close to the '00s (and in the context of what SA1 meant for the Sonic franchise I wouldn’t blame you,) Sonic CD.

      I replayed Spyro recently, and honestly, I felt like it didn’t hold up. It felt like the objective was to get all of the gems, but there was no reward for getting gems. And maybe because it was a kids game, I just felt like it was way too easy. You could basically just walk to the end of each level, skip any gems and dragons that weren’t in the main path to the exit of the level, and finish the game in a couple of hours. I also felt like the level design was kind of wonky. Like, there were paths where you would follow to a dead end just to get gems, and there was nothing else there. That’s fine if that happens a couple of times in the game, but it was like this like 4 or 5 time per level.

      Spyro 2 was a huge improvement to this formula, because you use the gems to buy upgrades and unlock new paths, or pay the dude to let you use the elevator and such. It made getting gems - and therefore the rest of the game - feel a lot less pointless.

    The entire list of releases from the year 1998, the objectively best year in all of video gaming history.

    I don’t think I can choose between games like Alpha Centauri, Marathon, Chrono Trigger, Homeworld, Quake, Counter-Strike (I played the beta in '99, does that count?), not to mention King of Fighters '98, Half-Life, Star Craft… wow it really was the golden era of gaming wasn’t it?

    I liked the Marathon series for Mac and the Twisted Metal series for PS.

    So many amazing games to choose from such as all the D&D based ones, Morrowind, the SimCity ones and the Championship Manager games, but my absolute favorite was Fallout 2 for sure!

      Was looking for Street Fighter II on here. That game set me back DM150 and it was worth every bit of it. Possibly surpassed by Virtua Fighter II eventually,
