I have noticed that new games have a hard time getting attention and
receiving votes from the voters. Therefore I have moved the section with
"New Contestants" to the top of the list, which may improve things a bit.
Maybe it helps the readers to identify new games and vote for them.
Oh BTW, several other important people have joined my mailing list for
developers and publishers in the last two weeks after I gave you the
previous list of names. These ones are new: Interplay (John Price),
Digital Integration (Russell), Sierra (Josh Mandel), Raven (Christopher
Rhinehart), Dynamix (L. Allen McPheeters). They too look at how you all
rate their games in this Top 100.
Now let's hope that they too start sending me presents for all the work
I do for them, like Accolade just did. Thanks Dan! :)
