- WHOAAA! No less than 367 voters this week! This DOOM/X-COM thread has had
-
- a very serious effect on the number of voters. In a positive way that is!
-
-
-
- I'd like to thank all of you who mailed me these weeks to tell me how
-
- great it is to have a Top 100 on the net. It appears that a lot of people
-
- use it as a guide to buy games. They don't worry if a game gets average
-
- ratings in the magazines. If the game rides high in the Top 100 it must
-
- mean that it's a great game, despite what the magazines say. The opinion
-
- of several hundreds of game players around the world seems to be more
-
- important than the opinion of a few magazine writers. I like that!
-
-
-
- Thanks for the support!
