If you send your vote for the Internet PC Games Charts this week, you may be
the winner of a FREE COMPUTER GAME! Over the next 10 weeks no less than
100 games will be given away to our voters for the games, movies and albums
charts. You don't have to do anything special, you don't have to answer
questions, just send your vote for the charts. If you don't know how to vote,
then visit our site at http://www.xs4all.nl/~jojo and travel to the voting
forms. Or you can ask us for the document that tells you how to vote.
We pick 10 people each week from the newest votes that we received for our
three Internet Charts. The more often you vote, the better your chance of
winning a game. And, if you vote for each of our three charts, your odds will
also increase! BUT: Vote only ONE time for a chart in ONE week. It doesn't
help you if you send us dozens of messages in one week. On the contrary, it
might annoy the computer so much, that it disqualifies you. ;)
The game that will be sent out is the full version of Star Quest I in the 27th
Century, by Virtual Adventures. You can read more about it on the web site.
