The Net PC Games Top 100 is already being published in Ross' Game Bytes
electronic magazine. Now there's another (paper) magazine that regards
your votes for the Top 100 as a valuable source of information.
This week, one of the two Dutch national computer game magazines (called
the "Software Gids") contacted me and we agreed upon publishing the
Net PC Games Top 100 nationally. That is, the top 50 of the latest edition
of the Top 100 will be published on one page in every new edition of this
magazine, which comes out every two months. I'd like to thank all of you
who have mailed me their votes again and again. Without you this wouldn't
have been possible. There's even more reason for you all to vote now that
your opinion is regarded as 'the opinion of the world' for many people
outside the Internet community.
Read the chart and vote. We've done a good job, so stay with me and keep
this thing rolling!
Jurgen.
These are the games that got the most attention on Usenet in the
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games newsgroup last week:
