- Hi everyone,
-
- As I told you in advance, this chart would be published a few days later
- than usual, since I was on vacation until yesterday. There is a very small
- period between the time of this publishment and the usual deadline for the
- next list (on Friday). Therefore I will move the next deadline to Saturday,
- just for once. This will give you a little more time to send new votes for
- the next edition.
-
- I have a few questions to ask you about some games that I don't know so
- well:
-
- Is Capture the Flag indeed published by Carr?
- Could it be that Carr is a person? If so what is his/her full name?
- Is Capture the Flag a strategic game?
- Is 1-0 Goal! the exact title for this game by New Era?
- Is Scorched Earth a strategic game?
- Who made Multi-player Civilization?
- Is Oxyd made by Dongleware?
- Is SuperVideoPoker made by Elton Inada?
- Is SuperVideoPoker the exact title and is it shareware?
- Is Minerva made by Jouni Miettunen?
- What kind of game is Minerva?
- What is DCGames?
-
- I've seen none of these games in the magazines that I read, and I have
- too little time to try to download them and check them out myself. I hope
- you have some answers for me.
-
- Thanks! Jurgen.
