Welcome back to our Best Year in Gaming March Madness bracket competition! Yesterday we looked at 1983 vs. 2000, a real David-vs-Goliath story, with the year of gaming’s collapse going up against a real juggernaut in the year of the PlayStation 2 and the Dreamcast’s strongest year.

Result: 2000 Wins
