*** SPOTLIGHT ***
==============================================================================
This weeks' Spotlite is for Scott Catterill. I got a lot of votes for
Nethack this week, and my experience told me that it was likely that
someone was calling people to vote for this game. So I looked in the
Nethack newsgroup and yes, there it was. I'd like to thank Scott for
his call for votes, because he brought in many new voters. This thing
happened several times before with other games, and I hope you readers
continue doing so. It doesn't matter which game we're talking about,
as long as it brings in new voters!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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!
