As you can see, a new column has been added to the list. It contains the
categories for all the games in the chart. It was quite a job, believe me,
to find out the category for each game that was in the chart this year.
I'd like to thank those of you who helped me with the last ones that I
couldn't find in the magazines. Have a look at them, and don't hesitate to
mail me when you think some of the games are in the wrong category. I'm
human too, you know.
This week's bonus is a top 5 for each category containing the most popular
games of the first three months of 1993. And remember: reading the chart
without voting for it, is like enjoying a game without paying for it.
Jurgen.
