bro, Half-Life, Unreal, Metal Gear Solid, Gram Turismo and Star Craft in the same year. I didn't know how good I was eating as a 13 year old. The next year we all went to see the matrix and nothing was the same

This was the golden age of gaming, when I would regularly collect gaming mags, with a free demo disc, how i miss those days

For me, 1998 is the year of Starcraft. It was all my friends and I (grade 8) were playing for the next two years, and then moved to Diablo 2. Blizzard was the goat back then.

I was 13 on 1998. Every new game was a revolution. We just were discovering 3D and no one was afraid to try new things.<br>Games, parks, bikes, good albums. Lovely time to grew up
