- *** SPOTLIGHT ***
- ==============================================================================
- This weeks' Spotlite is for Raymond, from GamesNet. It is a network with
- roughly 1000 nodes spread over Canada, USA, Greece, Italy, Latvia and
- other countries. (A complete list can be found on ftp.uniserve.com in
- /pub/gamesnet.) Communication takes place in the Fido BBS way. On GamesNet
- the Top 100 is weekly posted in the Announce area, and also spread as an
- archive in a file area. GamesNet is based on the spreading of info and
- shareware games. Supported languages at this moment are Dutch, English
- and French. As many other things in this world, GamesNet came into
- existance as a hobby, and is now operative for four years already. More
- info can be found on ftp.uniserve.com.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Do you have an interesting story to tell about the Top 100? Do you have a
- World Wide Web page pointing to this list? Do you publish the list on a BBS
- or in a magazine? Do you distribute it via leaflets, radio or tv, satellite
- or telephone? Did the Top 100 change your way life? Or are you just glad it
- exists? Tell me about it! And maybe you will be in next weeks' Spotlight!
