    • Society & Culture

History of Awesome is an epic 38-part trip down memory lane - each episode we're covering a new year's most important, influential, or just-plain-awesome movies, games, TV shows, comics, and more. Up next is 1998 - a year famous for being one of the greatest in video game history. 1998's games include: Baldur's Gate, StarCraft, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Half-Life, Metal Gear Solid, Pokemon Red & Blue, Thief, Gran Turismo, Fallout 2, and plenty more. It was a respectable year across the rest of the pop culture spectrum as well, thanks to the release of Cowboy Bebop, Saving Private Ryan, The Big Lebowski, and more.
