Welcome back to our Best Year in Gaming March Madness bracket competition! Yesterday we kicked off round two with our first doubleheader and today we have another one. In a lopsided blowout, 2004 beat 1985, and in a competition that wasn’t as close as I expected it to be, 1999 beat 2003 pretty handily.
Results: 2004 and 1999 win
Today we have another pair of matchups:
VS.
VS.
1987 had a strong first round, featuring a large number of important games from the late 80s. But as a year it has likely met its match going up against 2009 – something which may not become clear until you actually read the lineup of games. I confess I’d forgotten some of the year’s releases and going back over it I was continually surprised by how many big games were on the list.
