*** SPOTLIGHT ***
==============================================================================
This week's Spotlite is on Roman Janik, editor of the Computer Entertainment
page in a Czech computer magazine called Computerworld, published by IDG.
Although the magazine is targetted mainly on corporate, business and office
users, they have decided to cover computer entertainment too, including
games, on one A3 page each week. Roman has asked permission to publish a
portion of the Top 100 on this computer entertainment page, which is no
problem at all, of course. In return, he is put on the mailing list for
developers, publishers and magazines. If other people are likewise taking
care of the publication of (a portion of) the Top 100 charts, they too can
be put on this mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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!

The following games have not yet received enough points to enter the Top 100:
