I politely disagree, the 1990's is where PC games showed tons of innovation, setting the tone for all the games and genres we play now.
We'll see as these polls move on. The 90's were the golden age for PC gaming :)

I respect your opinion (always) but regardless of our subjective tastes, the general opinion at least here quite clearly leans towards consoles, especially during this period. Let's be real, in a VGC poll, PC games won't stand a chance against Zeldas, Mario 64, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasys, Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid etc.

Personally, my 1990 GOTY is Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake which was a home computer game from Konami, but it's gonna get destroyed by NES/SNES options. It's not a "Metal Gear Solid".

The only way PC has a chance is if one groundbreaking PC game finds its self in a poll stacked with strong console releases that will cannibalize each other. I'd love to be proven wrong though. Phantasy Star just beat Final Fantasy 1, so anything can happen I guess.

I think you have a point there, but if we face the facts, the console games of that time were strong and are stacked against each other. Also the computer games at that time were often released on DOS and Amiga.
