The best consecutive days in gaming... 10 years ago this week?

1998 was a special year in gaming and many consider it to be the best ever, but I might have found the best consecutive days in gaming history... and it involves two of the biggest franchises that are highly respected.

Hmm... Can't remember release dates...

Holy crap, they were released 1 day after the other? O_O That's amazing!

I don't know what other major games have had release dates close together like that, but wow!

Thats incredible. That has to be the best pair of games released simultaneously.

I totally remember this now, and I was in heaven at the time with these games. R.I.P 1998, still the best year in gaming to me.

And I never played HL1 and Majora's mask was better!

But as far as short spans of times and lots of games coming out goes, umm... look at the present, within a few weeks: LBP, Gears 2, Banjo, Left 4 Dead, Fable 2, Resistance 2, and Fallout 3

Some quality gaming pedigree, if I say so myself.

While I'm loving L4D, and some of teh other releases in this short span, none of them equal OoT or Half Life coming out nearly day and date, and never will. A huge games start, as in first game released in a series that succeeds to this date, is far superior to any sequel. Half Life > every release this year on so many levels, and OoT I still find to be the single best Zelda game ever, and one of the best games ever made(I thought Majora's Mask was good too, just not better, but obviously, just two differing opinions.

I remember getting both of those games for christmas that year, oh what a happy child I was.

I wasn't even into gaming back then, being four years old 'n all.
