What is your favorite year in gaming?

I'm a little torn between 1997 and 1998. While 1997 saw the release of Diablo, Castlevania SOTN, Diddy Kong Racing, Goldeneye 007, Fallout, Age of Empires, FFVII, Wild Arms, and Crash Bandicoot. It also had the redicioulus yet fun Parappa the Rapper. PaRappa the Rapper.

1998 saw my favorite game of all time (Final Fantasy Tactics), Zelda: OoT, Pokemon, Fallout 2, Crash Warped, Starcraft, and Magic Knight Rayearth.

It was a great time to be a kid
