- The Net PC Games Top 100 is already being published in Ross' Game Bytes
- electronic magazine. Now there's another (paper) magazine that regards
- your votes for the Top 100 as a valuable source of information.
-
- This week, one of the two Dutch national computer game magazines (called
- the "Software Gids") contacted me and we agreed upon publishing the
- Net PC Games Top 100 nationally. That is, the top 50 of the latest edition
- of the Top 100 will be published on one page in every new edition of this
- magazine, which comes out every two months. I'd like to thank all of you
- who have mailed me their votes again and again. Without you this wouldn't
- have been possible. There's even more reason for you all to vote now that
- your opinion is regarded as 'the opinion of the world' for many people
- outside the Internet community.
-
- Read the chart and vote. We've done a good job, so stay with me and keep
- this thing rolling!
-
- Jurgen.

- These are the games that got the most attention on Usenet in the
- comp.sys.ibm.pc.games newsgroup last week:
