yay

I love nostalgia.

best year ever for me. too bad i was 8.

Honestly, a little too soon.

+1

too many video games.

+1

Lauryn Hill FTW

+5 for starcrat +5 for Half-Life -6 for all the other completely pointless crap.

It would have been better to do in 2008, but still.

Thief owns..

You forgot about the other thing.

great stuff.

It's already been 8 years? Damn you time!

1998 was the best year ever.

God...1998 was an amazing year. Glad that I can remember it all.

1998 was a fun year for me. I finished my junior year of high school, started my senior year that fall. Also there were many great video games to play, some fun yet cheesy movies and some funny political moments.

No Cowboy Bebop?

I'm working on an update. I'll add Cowboy Bebop.

man starcraft makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

All it reminded me of was how sh*tty that year was.

5'd just for putting Grim Fandango in there!

nostalgia! zelda ocarina of time for the win

you use an 80's song for 90's nostalgia? +1 for Hello Nasty

and sc...cannot forget sc!

wow, I forgot how much that year really sucked

late 90's my fav years so far

almost cried...i miss the good times

meh

I dunno, seems soon but thats whats funny. It was only 8 years ago, but if you think about it, half of the people on this site 8 years ago still had a hardon for their pediasure. It's okay. Everyone sucked as a kid. 'cept Jesus, lol.

YES I DO REMEMBER KTHXBYE

I f*cking love nostalgic sites .... ;'( !

The best part of that year was the Padres winning the pennant. Just pretend the world series was never played ok?

Half Life FTW. Best shooter series ever.

I miss that year.

Yep - graduated from high school in 1998.

5'd for: MGS SIM CITY 3000 HL Zelda

5'd for being such an awesome year

Good f*cking times man, i was only 8 but thats when all my campers at my job were born. But why did you mention Godzilla? that movie sucked

I graduated HS in '98. Damn that was a long time ago...

5 for nostalgia

I remember, The Intel Pentium III with Katami core came out that year.

Man, I still play Sim City 3000, Starcraft, and Zelda OoT.. and I just saw There's Something About Mary for the first time last week. Kinda sad.

ocarina of time ftw.

such a lot of stuff... i was so young. btw it's spelled "ho", hoe is a garden instrument. i also semi-expected "1998" by Naoki. Which brings me to this: in 1998, the first Dance Dance Revolution machine was put in arcades.

DDR DDR DDR DDR DDR

ocarina of time ftw... but why is it THE VERY LAST ONE?!

Yay, I know most of these! I'm amazed I was only 9 though. Was red alert released in late 99 or early 00?

Woo Zelda, Starcraft and Oddworld FTW

1998 wasn't that long ago, try going back further.

you started off with 2 of the sh*ttiest movies of the decade, thanks for reminding me

acutally i dont....

one extra star for the Episode 1 teaser trailer...I still bust a nut watching that...f*ck the prequels

why'd you use an 80s song for the 90s nostalgia? you could have at least used Life Of Agony's cover of the song...

This stuff just breaks down into complete randomness linked only by the year. But you're getting a 1 because of a 5 second sound clip that doesn't even loop right.

good year

Phil Hartman one made me sad...

Godzilla ftw

Holy crap that was less than a decade ago, of course I remember it. -4 for lack of real nostalgia.

I miss bill :(

STOP BRINGING BACK OLD MEMORIES!

How can you forget Starcraft? Thousands of people still play it.

The entire time I watched this all I thought was 98 was when ocarina came out. Zelda FTW!

YES! 5'D FOR THIEF: DARK PROJECT. My video gaming life changed forever when that came out!

Grim Fandango, the best game ever. period.

Needs more Jazz Jackrabbit 2

Pretty much the greatest year of my life.

a four, for the reason DONKEYPUNCH points out.

good times.

5 for Phil Hartman.

f*ck yeah I remember all this, however you need to change the music to something from 1998. May I suggest Zoot Suit Riot?

With each site like tis, nostalgia-whoring becomes more and more transparent. By now, it's so transparent that nostalgia-whoring could be classified as a metamaterial with a negative refractive index. Congratulations. Your shallow attempt to whip up arbitrary praise has created the superlens.

+5 for simcity300, +10 for legend of zelda, and +1000 for METAL GEAR SOLID BABY!! so that equals.......1015?! V

i cried from the memories. OH STARCRAFT HOW COULD I LEAVE YOU! *

Would be a 5 if it weren't for the crappy American Godzilla. That's something I want to forget about from 1998. Also, needs Pokemon...

5 for phil hartman

What a very good year

no

It took me 6 years to realize that the Unabomber and Timothy McVeigh were different people. But Grim Fandango and Half-Life came out during the same year? Wow.

Half-Life > Everything else in existence.

WHAR IS FALLOUT 2??

+100 for Grim Fandango...I'm popping it in as we speak.

It's pretty much perfect as it is, but if you do an update, how about adding DDR like unknownbuzz suggested? (And I apologize if my voted didn't register, most of mine haven't been lately for some reason.)

Oh come on, 1998 wasn't THAT long ago. I'm not sure this is necessary.

Ah the memories!

98 was a great year. Only second to 97 for me

like rampaginfrodo says 1998 is too recent to be nostalgic

Add Delta Force: 2 please :)

again, stupid *ss fad, please stop turning ytmnd into vh1 or the e! network.

Much like mine? http://the1940s.ytmnd.com/

I was a sophomore, yay

You forgot Sonic Adventure

sh*t. Good job putting Ocarina of Time at the very end. I was sh*tting myself thinking it wasn't going to be there! Thief alone grants you a FAV, though. 1998 is considered the best year ever in gaming.

No Olympics?

Many memories, but 1992 was so much better.

I forgot what an outstanding year that was for gaming. Grim Freakin' Fandango, man.

awww... I had a tear in my eye when I saw Starcraft.

1998 sucked.

great year indeed

Phil Hartman :(

the balogna is in the nest, the pastrami is recyclable.

Needs ''When Dale Earnhardt FINALLY Won The Daytona 500''

wow. i didnt realize that 1998 was the best year ever. jeez.

-1 for not using music from 1998

It was 8 f*cking years ago. Stop with the goddamn nostalgia already.

A good year for gaming.

Starcraft and Theif FTW

This is the best example of irritatingly needless nostalgia ever.

I remember Starcraft...

Forgot Tenchu and Xenogears and anticipation for the Dreamcast!!!!1

5'd For Oddworld and MGS

w00t now make a 1991 one because pee-wee got arrested for masterbating over nurse nancy xD

Creepy - I actually remember all of that stuff.

Lol, that was year lost my virginity and went mad.

umm.Thats Zidane holding the Golden Ball award for EUROPEAN PLAYER OF THE YEAR. That's not the World Cup Trophy he's holding. It's completely different.

And 1998 was only 8 f*cking years ago, It's not f*cking 1978 for god's sake.

COLUMBINE HIGHSCHOOL SHOOTINGS?

Columbine was in 1999.

Indeed they where good times. Well anytime is a good time compared to now. For the first time in decades we aren't looking forward to the future, but instead fearing it and dreading the fact that we may not have much future left at this rate. Either way Good YTMND.

WAY too many video games, it's a hobby, it doesn't define a year.

some good memories.. also simcity3000

Give me a buffer decade before bombarding me with nostalgia!

umm.Thats Zidane holding the Golden Ball award for EUROPEAN PLAYER OF THE YEAR. That's not the World Cup Trophy he's holding. It's completely different. Failure.

Meeeeeeeemorieeeees....like the corners of your mind..

Grim Fandango, Half Life, and Hello Nasty = Auto 5'd.

f*ggot

80's music though?

great concept, -1 for france, -1 for music choice (more like 1985)

Is this supposed to be funny or what?

Wow, I can Google image search too, big deal. Also, something like "Mambo #5" or one of those swing-type songs would've been a better choice to represent the year.

Yes I do remember 1998. It was the year I died.

As soon as I saw StarCraft, I was satisfied.

half-life, zelda, MGS...you sir are my f*cking hero. 5'd

Yep OoT

-4 for sammy sosa, +1 for SC

WTF!?!?!? Baseball, basketball, and soccer, but no mention of the Minnesota Vikings record setting season for total points scored?

I want to do one for 1999 - it was pretty much a universal crossroads of amazing movies....

Graduated high school here.

5 stars for 1998, the best year of my life... so far. I expect great things from 2007, though.

Scanning through the list of comments... yeah, COWBOY BEBOP absolutely, positively, no question about it, beyond any sort of doubt whatsoever, NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THAT OTHERWISE FLAWLESS YTMND. And for those who question the use of 80s music... 80s nostalgia was already in full swing in the 90s, sort of like how we're getting all misty over '98 here in '06.

I love you, so so much....i had almost forgotten..all the good things in life.

Shoulda added Kipland Kinkel! 4rd anyway

"best year ever for me. too bad i was 8."

so many good games

That Godzilla movie was a complete mockery of the real series and a disgrace to the name of Godzilla.

How DARE you play on my sappy nostalgic tendencies. You're gonna make me cry, you bastard.

btw, I'd like to see 1999 done. That was pretty much my golden year.

The memories(also cocks)

Nobody cared about soccer in '98 and if it where not for that headbutt you would have no idea who zidane is

Awesome year.....MGS ftw

What was it with that year that made it so f*cking great? Oh, and you forgot the original Super Smash Bros!

Smash Bros actually came out in 1999.

omg woooo OOT!!!

you forgot Breath of Fire 3

Half Life! Ngggg... I feel old.

5'd for starcraft.

some of those were some good times, I was just playing starcraft like 5 minutes ago oddly enough

lol doesn't seem that long ago

Starcraft = 5'd

It was really an awesome year

This is about as amusing as sh*t. Thank you for wasting my 3 seconds, the time it took to decide to down-vote you.

good year.

Guh whaaa? Shouldn't you use a song from 98?

Ah yes, when Tupac & Biggie controversy was still about, Clinton was getting blowjobs from Monica, stupid Playstation games took over, I got laid for the 1st time, and music was beginning to suck because of groups like Korn & Limp Bizkit. As Homer would say, that's good, that's bad, etc. etc.

I feel so old now. -3 for making me feel old.

I was only 3 then so... I didn't remember too much then.

Too many video games and worthless events. Oh, and you spelled "UNIBOMBER" incorrectly.

don't you forget about poland

Don't try telling me Britney Spears was a hoe in 1998, because she was. Watch the music video for "...Baby One More Time" and you'll see. Other than that thanks for the walk down memory lane to the good and the bad of a year in my past.

*"Don't try telling me Britney Spears was not a hoe in 1998, because she was."

nice... could have had better music and a better presentation, but the site in and of itself brought back memories

I'm about to drop the hammer, and dispense some indescriminate justice.

Phil Hartman was dead already.

98 Was an Awesome year..Turned 21....Goodtimes!

5 for grim fandango

That was such an amazing year for games. I'd almost forgotten that it was that year that all those came out.

Automatic win for Thief, but you need to loop the sound, it makes it hard to watch the whole ting

did i just watch I Love the 90s?

its hard to believe how long ago that really was, for some reason 1998 always seems like the year a lot of stuff happened

pretty much all those memories minus the MGS and Half-Life make me cringe

everyone on this site was about 7

-_- why wouldnt you choose a song from 1998

Banjo Kazooie

I'm torn - on the one hand this is nostalgic, on the other hand it has far too much stuff about America that I don't get. Three'd.

Yupp... that was a good year... ...imma go cry now :')
