1999, (Runoff) Game of the Year

[Bofferbrauer2]

Other, as usual, but first a complaint: No Alpha Centauri or Planescape: Torment on either list despite both often being on shortlists of best games ever released???

Number 5 goes to Unreal Tournament. This one, along with Quake 3: Arena (also from this year btw), really brought Multiplayer ego-shooter to the forefront.

My fourth spot goes to Heroes of Might & Magic III. I'm probably one of the few who actually prefers HoMM IV over HoMM III.

Third one goes to Planescape: Torment, the RPG with probably the best story ever.

Second one goes to Alpha Centauri. This is what Civ should have become, but alas it never went that way.

And my number one spot goes to Jagged Alliance 2. Poor, poor Elliot... *slap slap*
