1. Retro gaming spotlight
2. top games and awards

In 1997 quite a few interesting things happened around the world. Scientists cloned Dolly the sheep, Hong Kong was handed over to China by the UK, the Mars Pathfinder probe landed on... Mars. In fiction, the first book of Harry Potter was published in the UK, Titanic literally hit cinemas all over the world and Pokemon were released in the USA.

The 1997 CODiE awards winner was Tomb Raider (I wonder if anyone ever thought that the Tomb Rider series would last for decades), Links and the weird Monty Python & The Quest for the Holy Grail:
