I definitely agree that 1998 had to be the best gaming year - so far, at least.
However, I'm baffled that the thread got this far and neither Fallout 2 nor Baldur's Gate got mentioned once - or hell, since Red Alert goes, Fallout should as well. Fallout 2 was my reason of getting into WRPG's in the first place, and every fan of Mass Effect (and Bioware games in general) should be grateful that Baldur's Gate was even made, let alone becoming a critical and commercial success.
