      Q3A was released October 22, 2000.

      2000 is a contender for retro gaming “best year”.

      Diablo 2 (still the best one, imho)
      Q3A
      Jet Set Radio
      Baldur’s Gate 2
      Deus Ex
      Paper Mario
      No One Lives Forever
      Counter Strike
      Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver

      Anyway, late 90s early 00s had a lot of banger years with awesome new IPs dropping regularly. The last 5-10 years have been amazing for indie games, but AAA games are just fancier versions of what we already have, for the most part.
