Quake moved to #1 from #3 this week on the World Charts Download


Top 40 Games, with the new shareware release! Folks on the alt.games.apogee


newsgroup are looking grim as Quake with 486 points, has finally toppled


Duke Nukem 3D with only 432 points. They may be launching a concerted


effort to try to regain the #1 spot.


Thousands of game players vote every week to determine the


Download Top 40 Games and the Commercial Top 100 Games. Everyone is


welcome to vote! Voting on the Games Charts has become fairly simple. We


have an automated voting booth at:
