1993, Game of the Year

[The_Liquid_Laser]

The official voting period is now over.

The 1993 Game of the Year is Doom.
The runner up is Mega Man X.

I think we all knew Doom was going to win for a long time.  However, there was a really tight race for the runner up spot with Link's Awakening, Mega Man X and Secret of Mana all being tied close to the end.

Also, I want to say that Doom is the first Game of the Year in the 90's that looks like a serious Game of the Decade contender.  Now I don't really know for sure, but if people want to vote for Mario or Zelda, I think they will pick games from later in the decade, and I just don't see Sonic 2 taking Game of the Decade.  (It barely won Game of the Year.)  Doom is a fun game that created a gigantic genre, and it has a catchy soundtrack.  I at least think it will get more GoD votes than the first three GoY games from the 90's.
