There were simply too many great, influential games in the 90's to pick just one. For me it was the best decade for games, period! Pretty much in every year, something groundbreaking was introduced. From whole new genres, 3D games, optical drives, VR to on-line gaming (or simply, the internet).
Even picking top game of each genre, feels like picking your favourite child. It's impossible to choose. Take FPS games for example. We've gone from Wolfenstein 3D, through Doom, Duke Nukem 3D to Quake, Unreal Tournament, Golden Eye, Half-life and Medal of Honor, with tens of fantastic others in between.

Yeah the industry just seemed to move to fast back then with constant revolutions and breakthroughs.

The decade started with the launch of the SNES and ended with the Dreamcast, with the likes of Doom, Quake, Mario 64, Goldeneye 007, Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life, and Ocarina of Time propelling gaming forward in leaps and bounds.

Now that the industry has matured we just don't see this kind of thrilling, volatile roller coaster ride of fresh new miracles any more.
