-
- Welcome to the fourth edition of the Net PC Games Top 100. As this is
- the last edition of the month, we thought it was interesting to see
- which games are the ones most voted for in this first month of 1993.
- There were four editions of the Top 100 this month. Since the first
- (initial) edition was not compiled using votes, we had points
- available only from editions 2, 3 and 4 (this week).
-
- Most of the points were from this weeks edition. For one reason this
- is because the number of respondents around the world is growing
- rapidly (at about 30 new voters every week). The second reason is that
- votes are used for four weeks in a row, for people who don't send us
- new votes. Due to lack of time, we didn't weigh the votes from the
- three editions, so the influence of the editions is not balanced.
- However, we don't think this is a serious drawback.
-
- You will notice some differences between the regular Top 100 and this
- overview of the month. The main reason is that this list is compiled
- using only the votes sent by e-mail. For the compilation of the
- Top 100 additional data is used, like the traffic in the newsgroup,
- the history of the games in the chart and the lifetime of the games.
- See the documentation for more info on this subject.
-
- I will keep this short, because of the lengthy extra list. Next week
- you can expect some inside information on the software we designed for
- the Top 100. Detailed statistics concerning votes and voters will
- probably be ready the week after that.
-
- Please bother us with serious suggestions. We had a few and they are
- all considered. Funny questions are welcome too.
-
- And Keep Voting!
-
- Jurgen.
