*** SPOTLIGHT ***
==============================================================================
This weeks' Spotlite is for Raymond, from GamesNet. It is a network with
roughly 1000 nodes spread over Canada, USA, Greece, Italy, Latvia and
other countries. (A complete list can be found on ftp.uniserve.com in
/pub/gamesnet.) Communication takes place in the Fido BBS way. On GamesNet
the Top 100 is weekly posted in the Announce area, and also spread as an
archive in a file area. GamesNet is based on the spreading of info and
shareware games. Supported languages at this moment are Dutch, English
and French. As many other things in this world, GamesNet came into
existance as a hobby, and is now operative for four years already. More
info can be found on ftp.uniserve.com.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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!
