I'm not going to vote! How's that! Ya wanna know whyyyy? Because I couldn't
care less what some _stupid_ (to me) list says is the best game!!!!!
It means nothing to me! If I were to vote, I'd vote for Doom. But 
I'won't, because if I let other people's opinion of games sway me, I'd 
have never played Doom once! (whiney people who won't take responsibility 
for their children saying, "Doom is *too* violent!")


I have X-com, and yeah, it's pretty fun. I like it! I have Doom, and IT'S 
GREAT! I LOVE IT! 

X-Com does not support the following things that:
1. Doom does
2. I have 
3. I USE

 14.4 modem, 3 station ipx network, Roland Sound Canvas 55 MK II, 
and most importantly: user created levels. X-Com _does_ support my Roland 
MT-32, but that isn't as good as my SC. 

	Techno weenie? For $750.00, I WANT SC GENERAL MIDI SUPPORT! 
AFTER BUYING MY NETWORK STUFF, I want it to supoprt my NETWORK! After 
buying a 14.4 (soon to be 28.8) I want 14.4 modem support!!

	So, I say _NOT_ techno weenie, but consumer who wants his 
hardware supported! 


	Vote for important things! We who like Doom _know_ how great it is.
It's more important to let people know about the game than it is to vote 
for someone's list.
