Welcome back to our Best Year in Gaming March Madness bracket competition! Yesterday we saw 2001 take down 1974, finally punting the ’70s out of our bracket.
Result: 2001 Wins
Today we’re moving on to two very strong contenders, though for different reasons. We’re looking at 1981 vs. 1993.
VS.
There’s a ton to like about 1981; tons of great and important board games, great arcade games, tabletop games, and video games. It’s a year which kicks off the golden age of Dungeons & Dragons. On the other side of things 1993 is a phenomenal year for 16-bit video games on the Genesis and Super NES, but would also mark the debut of Warhammer 40k’s second edition and the release of a little game called Magic: the Gathering.
