Hi everyone,
As I told you in advance, this chart would be published a few days later
than usual, since I was on vacation until yesterday. There is a very small
period between the time of this publishment and the usual deadline for the
next list (on Friday). Therefore I will move the next deadline to Saturday,
just for once. This will give you a little more time to send new votes for
the next edition.
I have a few questions to ask you about some games that I don't know so
well:
Is Capture the Flag indeed published by Carr?
Could it be that Carr is a person? If so what is his/her full name?
Is Capture the Flag a strategic game?
Is 1-0 Goal! the exact title for this game by New Era?
Is Scorched Earth a strategic game?
Who made Multi-player Civilization?
Is Oxyd made by Dongleware?
Is SuperVideoPoker made by Elton Inada?
Is SuperVideoPoker the exact title and is it shareware?
Is Minerva made by Jouni Miettunen?
What kind of game is Minerva?
What is DCGames?
I've seen none of these games in the magazines that I read, and I have
too little time to try to download them and check them out myself. I hope
you have some answers for me.
Thanks! Jurgen.
