Hi,
This is the second edition of the new Net PC Games Top 100, and the
first one that is compiled using the votes of many people from all
over the world. The number of votes we received indicated that a lot
of you are interested in this new initiative. So, we'll continue doing
what we started and hope for the best, and everyone's support of
course.
If you take a look at the games, you will notice that quite a lot of
not so new games are climbing up the chart, even some oldies are
entering the Tip 20. The first reason for this is that last week's
chart was not based on the opinion of the newsgroup readers, but had
to be compiled in a different way. The games are now repositioning
themselves to reflect the opinion of all who have mailed us their
votes. These automatic corrections will probably take a few weeks to
be completed. A second reason for the climbing of old games is that
people now tend to vote for their all-time favourites. We expect that
those who vote for games they played a long time ago, will get tired
of this, sooner or later. Then only the games that they are playing
now will get the votes, as should be the case in a weekly chart.
Some requests:
- When replying to us, for sending your votes, please enter the word
"votes" as the subject of your message. Messages with other subjects
have to be scanned manually. This is quite tedious.
- Don't give more than 5 points to a single game (as some have tried).
Our program really deletes extra points, so you lose them.
- Don't give more than 20 points in total (as some have tried too).
The program deletes extra points at random, and you don't know which
of your games are the unfortunate ones.
- The Top 100 is not suited to be an all-time favourites list. Give
points to the games you are playing this moment, the ones you like
now. Give the new games a chance and don't think of the games you
played a long time ago.
- Don't forget to name the publishers when you vote for games that are
not in the chart yet. Some games are only published in the US, so
we don't know them.
Another request:
When you see wrong titles or wrong publishers, tell us! As you may
have noticed, we try to name both the American and European publishers
of each game. When developers of some games are well known, we want to
mention them too. If a name is missing, just let us know.
The chart is published weekly on comp.sys.ibm.pc.games and
rec.games.misc. It will also be available on some ftp-sites soon.
Those who send us their votes will be sent the chart personally, for
four weeks in a row. And talking about votes: keep the flow going!
Thank you all for joining us.
Jurgen.
Think about it:
Take a look at the top 5 in this chart and wonder...
Shouldn't Origin have bought Electronic Arts?
