1998 topped OutKick's ranking of the greatest gaming years, led by "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time," the Sega Dreamcast and a release slate the article called "practically untouchable."
That case also leaned on 1998 launches including "Half-Life," "Metal Gear Solid," "StarCraft," "Resident Evil 2," "Baldur's Gate," "Banjo-Kazooie" and Pokemon Red and Blue.
1997 finished No. 2 on the list behind titles such as "Final Fantasy VII," "GoldenEye 007," "Diablo" and "Fallout," while 2001 placed third with "Halo: Combat Evolved," "GTA III," Xbox and GameCube.
The ranking was framed against a potentially strong 2026 for games, with the piece pointing to "Star Fox" on Nintendo Switch 2, a new "Ocarina of Time" remake and "Grand Theft Auto VI."
