I think the holy trinity of Metal Gear Solid, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Half-Life have on their own ensured that 1998 is the greatest year in gaming history

That was the year that gave us such canonical favorites as Photopia, Spider and Web, and Anchorhead. I hadn’t really considered what a good year it was for mainstream games as well.
