Subject: GALCIV IS NOW #3!!!!!
Message-ID: <deb_9411191646@blkcat.fidonet.org>
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
φφor bad∙∙ 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!

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? The margins are small...
