*** SPOTLIGHT ***
==============================================================================
This weeks' Spotlite is for Kais Al-Essa, from Saudi Arabia: "I started as a
normal user in my college and was getting this list through the GAMES-L
mailing list. Then I started voting for my favorite games. I started a BBS,
"Sahara BBS" on mid 1989 and I am still running it. At some point in time
when the Top 100 was just in its first issues, I started copying these
issues and posting them in my BBS for public as text files. We even had a
dedicated files directory for this list as well as a couple of others. Our
users enjoyed it so much, that if I delayed the posting even one day, I'd
get howls and screams from everyone!! Now, we started an Internet access for
the BBS users. This is the first of its kind in the whole of Saudi Arabia.
So, we are getting some good attention and the number of interested users
is certainly increasing. We now have a seperate Conference for the Top 100
list and lots of users are following the tracks of the Top 100 for buying
their games. We here, at Sahara BBS, both users and operators, think that
the Top 100 Games List is one of the best publications on the Internet. We
think this is what the Internet is all about. Sharing information and
having fun at the same time! Continue the good work .." Thank you, I will!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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!
