Here are videos we made in 1998, this was the third year of the Arnold Attic Films which is my collection of home videos I made with family and friends between 1996 and 2003. The following is an attempted six-hour-long chronological (as much as possible) collage video of most if not all of the best versions (allegedly) of mostly a basketball video game I was playing on the N64. Long story short, I've been making videos for the past thirty years since 1996. The following has been thirty years in the making. This 1998 collection doesn't currently have any home videos that I know of.

1996 | 1997 | 1998 | 1999 | 2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003
As a family, we started making content as late as the 1000s, we started recording to audio cassette tapes in the 1900s, we started recording VHS video tapes via VCRs at least by the 1980s, we started taking photos decades ago, we started drawing pictures a long time ago, and we started officially recording videos via camcorders in 1996 as far as I know allegedly.

Chapter 1
We started making home videos in 1996.
Chapter 2
We continued making home videos and we had cable in 1997.
Chapter 3
The following is a six-hour-long video of game play of mostly or entirely of me playing a 1998 In The Zone NBA basketball video game on the Nintendo N64 console. These videos were probably recorded via VCRs between the years of 1997 and 2003. Some of it might be from 1998. Some or most might be from like 2000. But I did get this game around 1998 and would play it a lot since then in my teen years until I graduated high school in 2004. There are no home videos on this collage video making this not technically part of the Arnold Attic Films, unless if gameplay is included. I tried my best to include everything I can find for 1998 in chronological order fully in original as-is conditions without edits or changes. But there may be mistakes. There may be typos. This is version 1 of the collection of videos I have as it relates to 1998. This is a rough draft.
Gameplay
I counted eight main matches presented on this tape meaning 8 games, mostly with West versus East on this Nintendo N64 1998 basketball video game, there are a few clips from television and Mario 64 for a total of less than ten minutes including real-life basketball from 2001 and DVD menus from like 2003. Outside of that, the rest is just game play of me playing that basketball video game. Some of the game play may have been recorded in like 2001 and possibly even 2003. The value of this collection is very low.
Audio tapes
There might be audio tapes and other things of me as it relates to the year 1998 but they were not included in this version of this 1998 collection.
