Heroes of Might and Magic 3. :-)
One of the most beautiful fantasy soundtracks ever.
Those two are my faves as well, followed by Outcast and AoE 2.
Homeworld scores pretty high in my book, and not only for that godforsaken , see what i did here , divine message
Voted for The Longest Journey.

So that's it? You stop at 1999?

sanscript: I don't like 1999 (too much).

It's the year that market the end of eurodance and more of that silly dance music, a year filled with angst from media about the pending doom when crossing over to 2000 (just like they do today), that hilarious My (fecking) Space, The Euro was established, more wars, MS Explorer 5 came... Have I forgotten anything else?

Certainly.

On the bright side we got Napster, TLS, Direct Connect and CUPS, and I bought my first AMD PC (AMD K6-III) to test BeOS Pro.

Well, few games stood out this year... Return to NaPali isn't a new game, same with Secret Files.

HoMM3, C&C Tiberan Sun and UT are the only ones that stands out. I think I'll give my vote to Frank Klepacki this year...
Ok

Yep, I was mainly interested in covering sequenced/chiptune music and I haven't researched the '00s much yet.

Well, it was a nice retrospectice. Probably took you some time sighting all those soundtracks and versions for 15 years worth of games.

Thanks, it sure did! The "by year" and "by system" pages on the site have been a WIP for like 4 years now but that's for all platforms, not just PC.
Planescape Torment and Heroes 3 are very strong contenders here, but my personal favorite would have to be Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. So many great ambient and plenty of upbeat tracks with a great sci-fi sound. I still listen to this a lot.
1998 winners: Unreal followed by Baldur's Gate
1999: Outcast followed by Unreal Tournament
