Message-ID: The OS/2 game "Galactic Civilizations" is totally blowing away the competition on the Internet Top 100. This is a vote by hundreds of users on the internet that helps determine how popular a given game is. It is looked at by retailers, publishers, and users all over the world! A lot of people cnosider this list THE most accurate list of judging how good ííor badùù a game is! In just 2 weeks of being widely available, GalCiv has jumped all the way to NUMBER 3 on the top 100! No OS/2 game has ever even been on the list and GalCiv is now poised to knock DOOM for DOS out of its place! Completely amazing! ============================================================================= The Net PC Games Top 100 Edition 99 - Week 47 - November 21, 1994 ============================================================================= TW LW NW Title Developer/Publisher(s) Cat ID Points ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 ( 2)ª 6 Doom 2: Hell on Earth Id/GT/Virgin AC í1502ù 464 2 ( 1) 49 Doom (+hacked add-ons) {S} Id AC í1386ù 415 3 ( 6)ª 5 Galactic Civilizations (OS/2) Stardock/AIM ST í1508ù 392 4 ( 3) 31 U.F.O.: Enemy Unknown (+X-Com) Mythos/MicroProse ST í1437ù 329 5 ( 4) 18 Tie Fighter LucasArts/Virgin AC í1473ù 240 6 ( 5) 7 Colonization MicroProse ST í1496ù 218 7 ( 7) 99 Civilization MicroProse ST í1002ù 232 8 ( 8) 59 Master of Orion SimTex/MicroProse ST í1344ù 219 9 ( 9) 6 Master of Magic SimTex/MicroProse ST í1501ù 207 Finally, after many many weeks, Doom has been pushed away from the number one position by... Doom 2! The question is: how long will Doom 2 be able to hold this position? Galactic Civilization is sky-rocketing towards that same #1 position. Could this be the first OS/2 game to hit #1?
