Very excellent GAMES !!! best year was 98' 

1. 1998

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)

There are good years, there are great years, and then there are years so astounding we're still shocked they really happened. For us, that's 1998, the best year in video game history.

Why? Start with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Considered one of the greatest games of all time, it remains as beloved now as it did the day it turned the N64 into a must-own system.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Shooter fans got one helluva twofer in the vastly different but equally awesome Unreal and Half-Life. The former was a mind-blowing technical landmark, while the latter was just a classic in first-person storytelling and AI programming (fingers crossed we see the Half-Life story finally come to an end next year).

Prefer strategy? How about a little number called Starcraft? Action game junkies met Metal Gear Solid for the first time, just as role-playing fans got swept away in Bioware's amazing Baldur's Gate. If your tastes skewed off the rails a bit, you could play best-in-its-class adventure great Grim Fandango, sneak around in the stunning Thief, philosophically role-play in Xenogears, or sit on the bus glued to your Game Boy and Pokemon Red/Blue — the very first Pokemon games.
