- Dropped Out:
-
- ( 98) 2 Death Gate Legend AD [1544]
-
- Last week it looked like Descent was going to be the new number one this
- week, but due to some lobbying in the comp.os.os2.games newsgroup
- Galactic Civilizations is still on top. Descent will have to fight harder
- if it wants to be the next most popular game on earth.
-
- This week also shows a rise in the number of voters again. I'm very
- pleased about that, because it means that the steady decline after the
- Internet PC Games Contest boost has stopped. Before the contest, the
- number of voters was 410. Right before and after the contest the number
- of voters climbed to 1133. It was clear that this number would drop
- again, and it did. Now it stopped at 702, so it means that the contest
- made the number of voters for the Top 100 increase with roughly 75%, and
- I was hoping for at least 10%. Not a bad result!
-
- Thank you all again, and keep voting!
