- Hi,
-
- This is the second edition of the new Net PC Games Top 100, and the
- first one that is compiled using the votes of many people from all
- over the world. The number of votes we received indicated that a lot
- of you are interested in this new initiative. So, we'll continue doing
- what we started and hope for the best, and everyone's support of
- course.
-
- If you take a look at the games, you will notice that quite a lot of
- not so new games are climbing up the chart, even some oldies are
- entering the Tip 20. The first reason for this is that last week's
- chart was not based on the opinion of the newsgroup readers, but had
- to be compiled in a different way. The games are now repositioning
- themselves to reflect the opinion of all who have mailed us their
- votes. These automatic corrections will probably take a few weeks to
- be completed. A second reason for the climbing of old games is that
- people now tend to vote for their all-time favourites. We expect that
- those who vote for games they played a long time ago, will get tired
- of this, sooner or later. Then only the games that they are playing
- now will get the votes, as should be the case in a weekly chart.
-
- Some requests:
-
- - When replying to us, for sending your votes, please enter the word
- "votes" as the subject of your message. Messages with other subjects
- have to be scanned manually. This is quite tedious.
- - Don't give more than 5 points to a single game (as some have tried).
- Our program really deletes extra points, so you lose them.
- - Don't give more than 20 points in total (as some have tried too).
- The program deletes extra points at random, and you don't know which
- of your games are the unfortunate ones.
- - The Top 100 is not suited to be an all-time favourites list. Give
- points to the games you are playing this moment, the ones you like
- now. Give the new games a chance and don't think of the games you
- played a long time ago.
- - Don't forget to name the publishers when you vote for games that are
- not in the chart yet. Some games are only published in the US, so
- we don't know them.
-
- Another request:
-
- When you see wrong titles or wrong publishers, tell us! As you may
- have noticed, we try to name both the American and European publishers
- of each game. When developers of some games are well known, we want to
- mention them too. If a name is missing, just let us know.
-
- The chart is published weekly on comp.sys.ibm.pc.games and
- rec.games.misc. It will also be available on some ftp-sites soon.
- Those who send us their votes will be sent the chart personally, for
- four weeks in a row. And talking about votes: keep the flow going!
- Thank you all for joining us.
-
- Jurgen.

-
- Think about it:
-
- Take a look at the top 5 in this chart and wonder...
- Shouldn't Origin have bought Electronic Arts?
