Finally, after many many weeks, Doom has been pushed away from the
number one position by... Doom 2! The question is: how long will
Doom 2 be able to hold this position? Galactic Civilization is
sky-rocketing towards that same #1 position. Could this be the first
OS/2 game to hit #1? The margins are small...

My initial post about the upcoming Internet PC Games Contest has
generated a LOT of new votes for the Top 100. The number of voters
for the chart went up from 410 to 589! I guess the words FREE GAMES
did the trick. Well, the promise still stands, and it's become even
better now. Several more companies have promised free games for the
contest, and as promised, I give you the list of all the games that
are available for the first Internet PC Games Contest. But first,
for those who haven't read the previous message:
In one week, edition 100 of the Net PC Games Top 100 will be published
on the Internet. This will be the start of the first one-and-only super
Internet PC Games Contest. The most important games publishers have set
aside 155 commercial PC games, on disk and CD, for this contest. Just
hold your breath for one week, and then you will be able to win one or
more of the newest PC games on the market. And to increase your odds,
you better start voting for the Top 100 right away! Read the document
in comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.announce.
About the contest: The contest will consist of 20 or 30 questions about
games, developers, publishers and the Top 100. You gamers should answer
these questions the best you can. Only Top 100 voters will be among the
winners, and they will be allowed to choose one or more free games from
the following list...
