The 1999 Video Game Draft

This week we party like it's 1999! All this talk about how great 2023 was for gaming stirred our ongoing debate over which years have been the best in gaming history. So far on the show we've done deep dives into 1996, 1997, 2001, and 2007, but somehow we missed one of the most fruitful years of all time: 1999! From Silent Hill and Legacy of Kain, to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Super Smash Bros., the onslaught of great games is almost unmatched! Join us as we wade through the launch window of Dreamcast, and the heart of pokemania while we each draft a team of 7 games to see who can put together the best lineup.
