Thanks for all the compliments I got after last weeks message. Yes, I do
like to keep up this good work, and I'm counting on you to help me with
that. This week I added extra information to the chart. Some people have
asked me to point out which games in the Top 100 are shareware. From now
on the shareware games will be marked with <S> after the title. I'd like
you to browse through the list and see if I got them all right. I might
have forgotten a game or marked one that is not shareware. Please tell
me if you see a mistake.
BTW, thanks for the info you send me about publishers and categories.
Keep me informed and I will do the same.
Jurgen.
