Games of Yesteryear: 1998

Episode 223

Welcome to the first episode of a new series we're launching, "Games of Yesteryear"! In this series, we'll pick a year in the past, debate the best games, and crown a game of the year. We kick it off with one of the greatest years in gaming history, 1998. What was 1998's game of the year? As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (MapleStory, Sword of the Sea, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33). This episode was recorded in August 2025. Intro and outro music composed for Gametalk by Dylan Chase.
