Best Game of 1998

[ultimatebob]

You forgot Unreal and Rainbow Six, two other awesome FPS titles that came out in 1998. Both of them started some of the best game franchises of all time.

The Total Annihilation Core Contingency expansion pack came out as well, which also kicked ass.

 

[Dirigible]

You actually played it?

I know, right? Yes I did! :shocked:

 

[adlep]

HL > All

 

[AstroManLuca]

Never played Half Life. Never enjoyed Starcraft. Never really got into Ocarina of Time.

My favorite would be Fallout 2. I've replayed that game at least a dozen times over the years.

Ok, there is a MASSIVE HUGE HOLE in this poll.

See:

HL > Unreal > *

tough choice between starcraft and ocarina of time... I'd have to say ocarina because I enjoyed it more. i may have played more total hours of starcraft, but i LOVED ocarina of time.

 

[coldmeat]

OoT. I'm actually replaying it right now. The only other games I've played on that list are Starcraft and HL and I never really enjoyed either of them.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Starcraft by a mile for me.

1998 was a year before I got into PC Games... but I did have an N64. So my choice has to be Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I still have that game (and the N64 too), in all it's golden cartridge glory.

I think Ocarina of Time is by far my favorite game every made. Exceptionally well done IMO. Of course, if we were doing categories, several of those games would top my lists.

I found the uber challenge for OoT a couple years back and started it.

It's really hard... uses glitches throughout the game to let you to skip picking up items and go places you aren't supposed to etc. Unfortunately I got stuck for a while at the point where you get into Gerudo valley as a kid and then my TV broke. Really fun to try if you love the game and want another crack at what feels like a new game.

How could I possibly choose between Half-life, Ocarina of Time, Starcraft, or Metal Gear Solid?

 

[LordMorpheus]

Came in here to say Homeworld, but that was 1999.

No way I can vote in a poll that doesn't include Baldur's gate.

 

[secretanchitman]

ocarina of time by far. that was a great jump from 2D to 3D. definitely still my favorite game of all time.

 

[ProfJohn]

Other aka Baldur's Gate

Although BG 2 was MUCH better. Probably the best RPG ever.

 

[adairusmc]

Other - Descent Freespace

 

[Molondo]

Hard pick between SC and HL. HL brought us so much.

 

[Train]

Wasn't Unreal or Unreal Tournament '98? Man those were some fun games.

Though StarCraft has to take the cake, will probably go down as best game of all time

 

[Fenixgoon]

How could I possibly choose between Half-life, and Starcraft?

fixed for me.

two different genres. totally love them both though.

i'd probably have to vote SC. i'd sell my soul for SC2

 

[coloumb]

No brainer - Half Life.

Now I feel OLD.
