Most definitely, though I prefer the online version at worldcharts.com.

: BC3K at number 24 top selling chart, putting out more copies than
: Pharaoh and Driver?! Yeah, right...

Looks like you've missed the point for those charts. They're based on a 
*popular opinion* of all gamers who bother to vote for their favorite 
games through e-mail or on the website. Unlike some other similar 
charts, there are *a lot* of voters and they use a complicated cheating 
prevention system. Many smart game stores use this chart to plan their
purchases. Jojo's been making this chart for ages already - as you can 
see, they're up to Edition 364, or 5 years, as of now. 
I recall the times when Civilization totally ruled the chart as Doom hadn't 
been released yet.. ahh :).
