- *** SPOTLIGHT ***
- ==============================================================================
- This weeks' Spotlite is for Kais Al-Essa, from Saudi Arabia: "I started as a
- normal user in my college and was getting this list through the GAMES-L
- mailing list. Then I started voting for my favorite games. I started a BBS,
- "Sahara BBS" on mid 1989 and I am still running it. At some point in time
- when the Top 100 was just in its first issues, I started copying these
- issues and posting them in my BBS for public as text files. We even had a
- dedicated files directory for this list as well as a couple of others. Our
- users enjoyed it so much, that if I delayed the posting even one day, I'd
- get howls and screams from everyone!! Now, we started an Internet access for
- the BBS users. This is the first of its kind in the whole of Saudi Arabia.
- So, we are getting some good attention and the number of interested users
- is certainly increasing. We now have a seperate Conference for the Top 100
- list and lots of users are following the tracks of the Top 100 for buying
- their games. We here, at Sahara BBS, both users and operators, think that
- the Top 100 Games List is one of the best publications on the Internet. We
- think this is what the Internet is all about. Sharing information and
- having fun at the same time! Continue the good work .." Thank you, I will!
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 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!
