*** SPOTLIGHT ***
==============================================================================
This weeks' Spotlite is for Accursed Toys/Happy Puppy Software, producers
of Boppin', released by Apogee, and now #38 on the Top 100. Happy Puppy
operates the Happy Puppy Games Onramp, a one stop games site. They have
links to download points for most of the Top 100 games that have a
shareware or demo version somewhere on the Internet. There are also FAQs,
cheats and patches for many of the top games, and of course: a link to
the Top 100. Try it yourself at http://www.power.net/users/HappyPup/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you have an interesting story to tell about the Top 100? Do you have a
World Wide Web page pointing to this list? Do you publish the list on a BBS
or in a magazine? Do you distribute it via leaflets, radio or tv, satellite
or telephone? Did the Top 100 change your way life? Or are you just glad it
exists? Tell me about it! And maybe you will be in next weeks' Spotlight!

Dropped Out:
( 88) 1 Shipyards {O} Stardock/AIM ST [1589]
Please note that Shipyards is mentioned as having dropped out of the list,
although this is not actually the case. People mailed me that Shipyards is
an add-on for Galactic Civilizations and should therefore be positioned
with its parent game on #2. This has been changed now.
