I can't fault you there, 1998 was great. The intro and start of half-life with surround sound was immersion as I had never experienced before. MGS, Zelda oot, Grim Fandango, Unreal lan multiplayer and Baldur's gate were phenomenal.
I can't believe that was all in one year!
My other favourites from '98 were
Descent 2, it's from '96 but I replayed it in '98 with a 3D graphics card and 3D shutter glasses.
Heart of Darkness, more of these please!
Heretic 2, one of the first games I played with 3D shutter glasses.
Forsaken, first game I played with a 3D graphics card on 800x600 and it ran fluently.
The journeyman project 3: legacy of time
Kings quest Mask of eternity
Might and magic VI mandate of heaven, awesome series at the time
Need for speed 3 hot pursuit, still the best of the entire series! "Eine gelbe diablo in die S-kurve mit zwei hunderd km pro stunde"
Populous the beginning, just wow.
Starship Titanic, one of the last adventures you can talk to featuring the spookitalk engine.
Tex Murphy: Overseer, it wasn't that good actually but the first game I played on my brand new $400 dvd drive along with watching imported dvd movies since they weren't available in stores yet.
In that year I experienced proper surround sound, dvd, 3d graphics cards and 3D shutter glasses all for the first time. Hard to top that year!
