Best-Selling Video Games of 2000

The top 100 on Amazon UK that year.

A definitive look back at the 2000 Amazon UK chart. Click any cover to find it on Amazon.

Trivia, not blockbusters, tops the year: Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? leads on PC, with a second console version close behind, capturing a moment when TV tie-ins outsold most pure games. The list is a snapshot of the Dreamcast/PS1/N64 generation overlapping at once, with Shenmue and MSR: Metropolis Street Racer flying the flag for Sega while Driver 2, Tomb Raider Chronicles and Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon hold the PS1 down. The surprises lean novelty and PC: the licensed Thunderbirds and Robot Wars: Metal Mayhem, plus Roller Coaster Tycoon and Deus Ex among the strategy and sim crowd. With the PS2 yet to arrive, this is the old hardware order at its peak.
