Best Musical: “Titanic” This stage version of the famous sinking ship made a splash with the critics and audiences alike. The musical won the Tony awards for Best Musical, Orchestration, Sets, Score and Book.
Best PC Game: “Diablo” Echoing the success of Blizzard, Inc.”s “Warcraft” series, “Diablo” took role-playing games to the next level. An all-out hack-and-slash monster-fest, “Diablo” made dungeon crawling into an art, without sacrificing storyline or graphics, either.
Best Playstation Game: “Final Fantasy VII” One of the greatest games created for any system, “Final Fantasy VII” combined a movie-quality epic storyline with a giant gameworld. The game was addicting enough to keep all those anti-social teenagers indoors on weekends, attacking anything from giant, animated houses to fire-breathing dragons.

It has great graphics, a multitude of weapons, and with the cheat codes, you are allowed to control any character from Mayday to Xenia Onotopp (who likes to be Onotopp of things). If there”s one game that kept people up until 4 a.m. on a school night, it was probably this one.
