All 5 classic games released in 1998 — with reviews, cheats, and trivia.
Widely considered the greatest video game ever made, Ocarina of Time translated the Zelda formula into three dimensions with such perfection that it redefined what action-adventure games could achieve. Its Z-targeting system, time-travel narrative, and extraordinary dungeon design set standards that remain unsurpassed.
Hideo Kojima's stealth masterpiece redefined what video games could achieve narratively and mechanically. Metal Gear Solid blended Hollywood-caliber presentation with innovative stealth gameplay and fourth-wall-breaking moments that players still discuss 25 years later.
One of the rarest and most extraordinary RPGs ever made, Panzer Dragoon Saga combined rail-shooter combat with deep RPG mechanics in a richly imagined post-apocalyptic world. Its western release of only 30,000 copies makes original versions highly valuable, but its reputation as a lost masterpiece is entirely deserved.
Rare's charming 3D platformer masterpiece sent a bear and a bird through nine inventive worlds brimming with collectibles, clever puzzles, and an irresistible sense of fun. Banjo-Kazooie refined the collectathon formula with exceptional world design and remains one of the N64's finest games.
Insomniac Games' gem-collecting adventure placed players in the wings of a young purple dragon exploring vast, colorful worlds. Spyro the Dragon's open, exploratory design and warm personality made it an instant PlayStation classic and launched one of gaming's most beloved franchises.
