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.

FYI, I'll be lumping Pokemon R/G/B/Y all together in 1996.  I do think 1998 has a stronger line of PC games than 1996 overall, though.  Do I think any of those PC games will win?  No.

I forgot all about Metal Gear Solid. You might be right. It's funny when you think of it, that there are many games that would definitely be voted as the game of the year - if it wasn't for this one title.
