More games on the 1998 gaming list include:
BattleTanx (rental)
Cruisin' World (rental)
Gex 64 Enter the Gecko, (PSX also)
Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (neighbors ... ok never mind, I think I only played the first one)
Quest 64
Rampage: World Tour N64
Small Soldiers ... saw this on Wikipedia as well, but I really do wonder if I played it or not. I know I was into the movie as a kid, so it seems like I would have rented it at some point.
Tekken 3 ... how the f* does Wikipedia not have THIS on their list?
WCW/NWO Revenge
WWF Warzone
Coolboarders 3
Rugrats (PSX)
Fighters Destiny (betting not many remember this one, but I sure do)
Buck Bumble (ditto this one)
Ok ... so Wikipedia definitely does NOT have the most comprehensive list of video games for this year. What gives? What is a better website?
Top 5 games and songs of my '98 coming tonight or tomorrow.
Bonus: Films of my 1998:
Godzilla 98 (was 8; loved it)
Mulan
Dr. Dolittle
Twilight (didn't see it, just funny there was a movie with this name in '98)
The Big Lebowski (later)
Never saw Lost in Space, but remember toys or something ...
3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain ... don't remember that subtitle, but sure I caught the VHS
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (much later in HS, college, maybe even after undergrad)
The Truman Show (only saw way later on Netflix)
Never saw the X-Files movie but remember the ads and theme song
Small Soldiers
The Mask of Zorro (parents watched this at home quite a bit; think I saw it in theater with them too)
The Parent Trap (Remember after this movie when Lindsay Lohan became attractive ... then drugs happened?)
BASEketball (way later ... forget when I saw this one)
Rush Hour
What Dreams May Come (Saw this later, both on home video and way later on Netflix)
The Waterboy (I remember the medulla oblongata did not do what the professor said it did)
The Rugrats Movie (I convinced my aunt and mom to see this instead of A Bug's Life cause the line was shorter ... well, that's why they agreed; I actually did want to see this much more than ABL)
Babe:Pig in the City (I know I saw this, but don't remember it as well as the first)
The Prince of Egypt (when we saw this in the theater, the parting of the sea animation was amazing)
Patch Adams (critics shit on it, but at 8 years old, it was one of my first introductions to Robin Williams outside of animation)
Mighty Joe Young
Addams Family Reunion (dunununu nu nu)
SHIT JOEY HASN'T SEEN:
Armageddon
Saving Private Ryan (Does playing the first level of that one Medal of Honor game count?)
There's Something About Mary (only bits and pieces)
A Bug's Life (seen most of it, but not the whole way through ... this may or may not belong on the "seen" list, but I'm not 100% sure)
Oh Saving PRivate Ryan is really good if you are interested in techniques of filmmaking. A little cheesy, but also very good. You know, I've never seen Mulan. I don't know why.
Sorry, I haven't commented on your first blog about this, my eye is bothering me.
You should rest the pink eye; I'll have an audio upload of my gaming and music favorites from '98 up tomorrow anyway. I know you don't like podcasts, but it's just going to be like a minute or two max. Hoping it gets put in NWP.
you should do podcasts with those guys! Or do your own for the site. More content = good.
I still haven't seen Saving Private Ryan or There's Something About Mary. I have heard so much about those movies over the years and seen tons of parodies of them. Saving Private Ryan was a pretty big influence on games. Medal of Honor tried to replicate that opening beach landing. I caught humerous references to the movie in the 2000 game Hogs of War. I think there was a whole level devoted to a joke about it.
I remember nothing else about that Medal of Honor game, but I definitely recall the opening D-Day level and how "real" it seemed at the time.
Yea, that was big news in the gaming press. I'm not sure I played that game either, though. Maybe though, just don't have a strong memory of it. Much stronger memory of BattleTanx and Rampage World Tour.
I have a strong memory of all three, but I remember less of Battletanx.
I have even stronger memories of the Battletanx sequel Battletanx: Global Assault because you could play the campaign co-op, which was a rare feature in 1999. Mark and I played that one a lot.
Hmmmm maybe that's the one i am thinking of too.
I was totally into Jazz Jackrabbit 2 back when I was in college. It was one of the few times I played PC games over console ones. I'd love to see a Jazz Jackrabbit collection on consoles, though.
I remember Buck Bumble. I had to review it for the newspaper. Ubisoft, the publisher of that game, have been supportive of me for that long! The thing that sticks out most to me about Buck Bumble is the title screen music. I bet you're rapping it in your head right now!
Actually no. The first video to pop up for that game was the music, but while I definitely rented that game at some point I didn't remember it and I've already forgot the theme. Maybe next time it'll be clearer to me. It's one I remember playing but from one or two rentals. And I like a few Ubisoft games, but I am getting tired of their emails from when I had to sign up for online stuff in free trials. Lol
I'd love to play some Jazz Jackrabbit on PS4. I played it on my neighbors PC. They had a shmup game on there they played a lot too, but I only did that one every once in a while cause I always died. Forget the name of it.
Go look up the title theme for Buck Bumble. It'll be stuck in your head for days. :)
I'm going to guess and say that shmup you played on PC was Tyrian. That was a popular sharware shooter around that time.
The second time around it is more catchy. I don't really remember it all that well though.
You are correct. It was Tyrian. I think it also had a sequel?
Ooh Fighter's Destiny. I believe I own a copy of that. Love Cruisin', and Rampage but I played Rampage on the PS2. I bought those wrestling games years later, and nWo 4 Life!!!
As for the flicks, how have you never seen Armageddon, Saving Private Ryan, and There's Something About Mary? Check those flicks off your list...save Private Ryan for a long weekend.
I really dug Truman Show. I liked the conept and if you ever wander around the Caymans, it reminds me of the town Truman grew up in.
I'm surprised other people know Fighters Destiny.
I'm one of few people I know who actually doesn't like "I don't want to miss a thing" by Aerosmith. I've always intended to watch SPR, but hey, at least I've seen the D-Day scene 100 times outside of the movie. And I think I saw most of Something About Mary on Cinemax at the neighbors' but I was very little and mainly remember hair-cum (cause of references) and zipper-balls.
