Looks like OoT has this wrapped up as expected, but if FF7 can maintain runner-up, I'll be more than happy. 2nd best game in a whole decade is still a massive achievement.

Ocarina of Time.
It's an A+ in every department and a landmark title in the development of gaming as a medium.

It's interesting how this poll is turning out.  The first day saw a close race between Doom, FF7 and Ocarina.  Not long after that FF7 and Ocarina gained the lead over Doom, and then FF7 and Doom both kind of stalled with Ocarina gaining a very comfortable lead.  However, the most recent development is that Super Metroid has gained several votes and is now in third place.  Notice that I didn't even mention it in the post above.  Looks like Super Metroid fans are coming out to represent.

My favorite would probably be FFVI, but since it didn't win for 1994, Super Metroid is also a great choice

It was interesting to see how the poll progressed over several days of voing.  In the end one game became the clear winner.  The 1990's game of the decade is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and the runner up is Final Fantasy VII.

The 90s were awesome!

Indeed. For me the most interesting period. Gaming exploded into more common usage than before. Never again we saw that massive steps in technology (from 2D to 3D, establishment of soundcards, establishment of networking and online functions). Game devs still tried many different gameplay formulas instead of chasing the most successful only.

PC exclusives mostly dying out in the noughties was a big loss.

VR kinda did and can do it again. Early VR made me feel like I was back in the late 90s, all the new possibilities, experimental games, experimental control schemes. It birthed some awesome new ideas for platformers with Astrobot and Moss and revived the horror genre for me. HL-Alyx showed more possibilities for fps in the future. Puzzle and building games also see great new possibilities in VR and VR is showing new ways to play online together. Or rather different ways than just chasing KD ratios.

The problem is the price and publishers rather chasing easy money instead of continuing to explore the new possibilities VR and motion controls offer. VR still has so much room to grow, but tech needs to advance further first. Lighter, cheaper, better headsets that solve the vergence-accommodation conflict. Yet VR is where the new age of gaming will come from.
