Here we are again, with the lists of July 1993. The Top 50 holds the games
that got the most points by votes from readers over email, in the last
four weeks. The Top 20 holds the games that were discussed the most in the
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.* newsgroups. Next week, I will post a seperate
Top 5 for each category again.
I will be on vacation from Wednesday 28th of July until Tuesday 3rd of
August. This means that the next Top 100 (edition 31) will be published a
little later than usual, probably on Wednesday 4th of August. You don't
have to wait for this chart to send votes for the next one (edition 32).
The usual deadline, Friday 1300 GMT every week, still remains.
Ciao! Jurgen.
