1999, (Runoff) Game of the Year

[UnderwaterFunktown]

When System Shock 2 loses its shortlist spot to Donkey Kong 64, mama mia! (But yea hard to narrow it down ofc).

Actually another packed year, System Shock 2 and Silent Hill could bould have taken the crown, but once again my pick will be a game I had forgotten was even from this year: Pokémon Gold/Silver (since the version I played is Crystal). Not counting its remake it's still the greatest Pokémon game they've ever put out, and even more so comparative to the time it was released. My full top 5:

1. Pokémon Gen 2
2. System Shock 2
3. Silent Hill
4. Super Smash Bros.
5. Hmm... Rayman 2 maybe?
