Summary

1998 sure did happen! And there were video games all up in it!  So let's talk about way too many of them!

It's weird to have watched this series change: what started as a time filler in between "bigger" essays has itself become one of the biggest projects in scope I've ever done.  And what started as talking about one game each year has slowly become more and more about looking about each year in context and cross-comparing what was going on.  I think this is more useful and interesting, but it is also undeniably more resource and time intensive to produce.  Hopefully the results continue to bear fruit, though.
