As expected, Ultima Underworld 2 has defeated its predecessor this
week. The game climbs to number 2, but it still has to get a lot more
points before it can hit number 1. Dune 2 is heading for the top 5
now. Comanche stopped climbing and sticks to number 18. While we are
all waiting for Lemmings 2, the original Lemmings suddenly makes a big
leap to number 36, earning a bullet. Another strange move is made by
Global Conquest, climbing from 77 to 63 after having dropped in the
chart for several weeks. King's Quest 5 has lost nearly all its
points, which makes this game fall very deep to 84.
The profit from having a Tip 20 is evident when you look at Ultima 6,
a not so new game entering at 91. Some people started to vote for it,
which made it show up in the Tip 20. Then other people noticed this
and started voting for it too, which made it the highest new entry
this week.
The column with the points shows the added result of the points sent
by e-mail and the points calculated by checking Usenet News traffic.
Since the e-mail points have a higher weight in the compilation
process, we multiplied them with their weight, before adding the news
points. This is done every week, but wasn't reflected in the columns
of the previous charts, up till now. So don't be surprised to see much
higher numbers than last week.
As this is the last chart of February, we compiled a list of the games
most voted for this month, like we did in January. You can see the
result below, where the second column denotes the positions of the
games last month. Note that the points are only those received by e-
mail, not multiplied by any factor.
BTW, the number of voters has risen again this week. Keep up the good
work!
