The voting period is now over.  This year was a close race between 3 SNES games, but in the end Super Metroid was the winner and the runner up was Final Fantasy VI.  

I gotta say that I was reluctant to put 4 SNES games into the poll.  That seemed like a lot of slots to devote to one platform, but after seeing the voting results that was obviously the right choice.  The four top rankings went to the four SNES games.  Even Earthbound, a distant 4th place, ended up above every other game and the "Other" category too.  The SNES really owned 1994, and without any Mario or Zelda game either.

EDIT:  As of me posting this, the 4 SNES games have 78% of the poll's votes.

Has the split between console and PC ever been this one sided before?
I see 84% went to console only games (at release) (not counting other) and it certainly wasn't a weak year for PC releases.
The SNES really hit top popularity in 1994, even though at that time I didn't even know a single person with a SNES. (Just wasn't popular where I lived in Europe)
