Two weeks ago I cleaned up my mailing list for computer game developers
and publishers. I asked everyone to tell me if they were still interested
in receiving the Top 100 on a weekly basis. Then I would only send the
list to those who really want it. Here I list all the companies that gave
me positive feedback:
Access (Mark Werner), Accolade (Dan Evans), AdventureSoft (Simon Woodroffe),
Apogee (Joe Siegler), Dragon's Eye (Dr. Cat), Electronic Arts (Colin
McLaughlan and Kelly), Epic MegaGames (Mark Rein, James Schmalz and Tim
Sweeney), Id Software (John Romero), Impressions, LookingGlass (Marc
LeBlanc), LucasArts (Jason Deadrich), Maxis (Chris Blackwell and Blud),
Merit (Mickey), MicroProse (Brian), Origin (Wayne), Papyrus (Jane),
Sir-Tech (Brenda Garno), Spectrum Holobyte (Karl Maurer), SSI (Matt),
Three-Sixty (Rob, Sean), Wizard Games of Scotland (Tom Fitzgerald) and
Computer Gaming World (Alan Emrich).
I give you this list of names for two reasons: First, I want to brag about
all the people in the industry I am so close with :), and second, I want to
show all the voters that their opinions are really looked at by many of the
companies. Some tell me that the Top 100 is being printed out and hung on
the walls in the offices. So keep this in mind when you send your votes,
and keep those votes coming.
