HOW TO VOTE

one) :
First to vote, all you have to do is to return the rating ballot
after you have placed your rating in the empty space preceding the name
of the game you have chosen and deleting the others ( YOU MUST AT LEAST
LEAVE A SPACE BETWEEN THE COMMAND AND YOUR RATING ). Please make your vote
a whole number ranging from 1 to 5 (NO 0's) if you don't your vote will
not be included in the list ! A typical vote will look like this:

to include the word 'SEGA CD' so that I know where to put your votes. You
can also vote for games that are not on this list and they will be added.
Please rate the game out of 5 stars (WHOLE stars only, no fraction) or it
will not include it in the list. Also include the number of hours it
would take an average player to beat or finish the game. If you agree
with the previously rated hours, you needn't bother. A typical vote will

Please vote for ALL the games you have played, not just the ones you
liked. People want to know which ones are really crappy. Also if you have
a suggestion or a comment about the ratings, send it to me - as you can
see I've been more than willing to make changes - but I make no promises
that everyone's ideas and changes will be made. I apologize to anyone
who's votes I lose or mess up and for any mistakes that I make in the
future. WARNING - you might find mistakes. You will not hurt my feelings
if you write me to bring any mistake that I made to my attention.
And for those of you who participated -
Thank You
Nick
