Already crowning the GotYs of 1996 and 1998, are ya? Tut tut! ;)

But really, I think there are actually a lot of people who favour the SMW and ALttP over SM64 and OoT. Add to that, the fact that Mario and Zelda are vastly more popular than Doom on forums like these and I could see them both beating it in the Game of the Decade poll

Ofc looking at my profile pic and you know which game I'll be supporting ;P

Actually, I am not sure about 1996, because there is more than one strong contender that year.  I would bet money on the winner of 1998 though, and I haven't even played the game.

I was thinking 1998 having much more competition than 1996. In 1998 we had Resident Evil 2, Pokemon Yellow, Starcraft, Ocarina of Time. Then again, 1996 had Pokemon R/G, Quake, Super Mario 64, Red Alert and Master of Orion 2. Assuming the Nintendo games win their years, Zelda- and Mario fans will be split between 2D and 3D games, whereas it's really hard to see any FPS that could really challenge Doom - unless there's the N64 kids with Goldeneye voting.
