I'm voting for "Other" this time, more specifically, Fallout. What a game! Such an incredible experience. From the awesome combat, to the fully realized world to the interesting and unique soundtrack not to mention an absolute nuke blast of an ending (lol). It's one of those games you never forget. It's the game that made me become a huge fan of post-apocalyptic/nuclear apocalypse media and it ended becoming my N1, all-time favorite game of all time.
The rest of my top for 1997 would look like this:
1. Fallout
2. Diablo
3. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
4. Final Fantasy VII
5. Mega Man X4 (The only Mega Man I really like! lol)
