1999 in Video Games - THRILL RIDE 🎮 🎮
Literally a thrill ride. Much of this is attributed to Sega's last system the DREAMCAST. Those 9.9.99 ads were everywhere ! The system felt futuristic. We were playing a 6th generation system in 1999 ! Who can forget going to Blockbuster video and printing out Pokemon snap stickers ! ? The only low for this year video game wise was Donkey Kong Country 4 ( AKA Donkey Kong 64) which was a collect a thon snooze fest and failed to live up to it's predecessors.

1999 is peak late 1990s and or Y2K era futurism! People really partied like it was 1999 and these video games show it. I think 1999 was slightly better than 2000, even though those years were identical. That Dreamcast launch... It was mind blowing. Sonic Adventure & soul calibur blew my mind. THE HYPE WAS REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the video speaks for itself

You can see the Y2K aesthetic quite prominently here. Video game cover art and menus were very Y2K.
This was the absolute peak of the survival horror genre, with Silent Hill, Resident Evil 3, and Dino Crisis.
