in my opinion, '98 was the best year for game releases. What's yours? (en.m.wikipedia.org)

1999 for me because of Age of Empires II and Quake III Arena

Q3A was released October 22, 2000.

2000 is a contender for retro gaming "best year".

Diablo 2 (still the best one, imho)
Q3A
Jet Set Radio
Baldur's Gate 2
Deus Ex
Paper Mario
No One Lives Forever
Counter Strike
Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver

Anyway, late 90s early 00s had a lot of banger years with awesome new IPs dropping regularly. The last 5-10 years have been amazing for indie games, but AAA games are just fancier versions of what we already have, for the most part.
