- Two weeks ago I cleaned up my mailing list for computer game developers
- and publishers. I asked everyone to tell me if they were still interested
- in receiving the Top 100 on a weekly basis. Then I would only send the
- list to those who really want it. Here I list all the companies that gave
- me positive feedback:
-
- Access (Mark Werner), Accolade (Dan Evans), AdventureSoft (Simon Woodroffe),
- Apogee (Joe Siegler), Dragon's Eye (Dr. Cat), Electronic Arts (Colin
- McLaughlan and Kelly), Epic MegaGames (Mark Rein, James Schmalz and Tim
- Sweeney), Id Software (John Romero), Impressions, LookingGlass (Marc
- LeBlanc), LucasArts (Jason Deadrich), Maxis (Chris Blackwell and Blud),
- Merit (Mickey), MicroProse (Brian), Origin (Wayne), Papyrus (Jane),
- Sir-Tech (Brenda Garno), Spectrum Holobyte (Karl Maurer), SSI (Matt),
- Three-Sixty (Rob, Sean), Wizard Games of Scotland (Tom Fitzgerald) and
- Computer Gaming World (Alan Emrich).
-
- I give you this list of names for two reasons: First, I want to brag about
- all the people in the industry I am so close with :), and second, I want to
- show all the voters that their opinions are really looked at by many of the
- companies. Some tell me that the Top 100 is being printed out and hung on
- the walls in the offices. So keep this in mind when you send your votes,
- and keep those votes coming.
