What a year for PC gaming. Does any other compare?

Classics released that year include

Duke Nukem 3D
Civilization 2
Descent 2
Silent Hunter
Warcraft 2
Quake
Close Combat
Mech Warrior 2
Tomb Raider
C&C Red Alert
Diablo
Grand Prix 2

A classic released for almost every genre :cool:
 
Good list, I can add

Road and Track: Need For Speed (the first one)
Crusader No Remorse
Worms Reinforcements
Elder Scrolls Daggerfall
Zork Nemesis
Phantasmagoria
Under A Killing Moon
Interstate 76

I think one or two are late 1995 and early 1997 releases......

Interstate 76 was insane :D

1998 was a great year too.

Starcraft
Unreal
Half-Life
Thief: The Dark Project
Foresaken
Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
Grim Fandango
Baldur's Gate
Populous: The Beginning
Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit
 
I wonder if any year in the naughties compares. 2004 or 2007 perhaps?

Would be cool if Mygaming took a look back at a classic from time to time. Some reminiscence for us aged gamers :D
 
Yea, like a retrospective type thing. I think NAG do it.

Some of my favorites to write on from that period would be Total Annihilation, Omikron: The Nomad Soul, Carmageddon, Theme Hospital...
 
I think 2004 compares nicely

Far Cry
Half Life 2
Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow
Thief: Deadly Shadows
Doom 3
Rome: Total War
World of Warcraft
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay

Lets hope 2010 rivals these great years
 
Oh the good old 90's *sigh* good times and that was the biggest jump start to the gaming industry for PC's and consoles :D

Got my hands on Carmageddon 1,2 and TDR i really hope they do remakes or something.... also got the old Sim cities and Theme hospital... Duke Nukems, Dooms, Wolfenstein.
