the first 3D video game based off of WWE (then WWF) sports entertainment
company published in 1998.

Fighter Maker
Developed and published by Agetec, Fighter Maker hit stores in 1999
offering what was a unique concept at the time. Giving players the
ability to create their own fighter and their own moveset. Despite this,
the game performed poorly, so how could a game with such promise go so
terribly wrong? Let's find out.

NBA Live 2001
NBA Live 2001 is part of a series of video games based on the NBA, now

Timberwolves being featured on the cover. The game has all available NBA
teams on the roster, including some specials like Western, Eastern,
50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s All Stars, and you can even make your own.

NFL GameDay 99
NFL GameDay 99 is part of a series of NFL games developed and published
by 989 Sports. This lasted for ten years from 95 to 05 before ending due
to a decline in popularity. NFL GameDay 99 would actually be the first
game in the series to take on a more Madden inspired approach while
Madden went to polygon technology, and of course there are times where
change is good and change is bad. I won't go any further into that as I
want to judge NFL GameDay 99 on its own merits instead of comparing it
to the rest in the series.

the sequel that came racing onto the scene!

Monsters, Inc. Scream Team
Monsters, Inc. Scream Team is based off of Disney PIXAR Monsters, Inc.
which was scheduled to hit theaters just three days after the game was
released in North America. The game was developed by A2M and published
by Sony Computer Entertainment and acts as a prequel (naturally) to the
events we would later see in the film. Knowing this, it shouldn't come
as much of a surprise to anybody that the game opening would basically
be a movie trailer before coming to the title screen.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Harry Potter. Does this even need an introduction? Screw it, I'll give
one anyway. Harry Potter is a book series about a young boy wizard
written by author J.K. Rowling. The first book was published back in
1997 in the UK before being brought over to America a year later. It
would soon be followed up by sequels and its very own Movie Franchise in
2001. Since then it has integrated itself into our culture. With the
growing success of the series it was only natural for it to expand other
mediums. This brings us back to 2001 for the PlayStation release of:

Casper: Friends Around the World
Late into the PlayStation's life, one of the games we received was based
off the direct-to-video spinoff/prequel to the 1995 featured film, Casper.

of his friends when Kibosh, an evil ghost who runs a haunting school,
is sickened by what he sees and casts a spell that sends Casper's
friends spread out through the world leaving Casper with no choice but
to find them all and bring them home.
