I can't vote for DOOM again..  You can only give 5 points to any one game,
out of 20 total that you have to vote with.  Otherwise all my 20 would go
to DOOM.  Each vote is used for 4 weeks.  So each time I vote, I give
5 points to DOOM each week for 4 weeks.  You can only vote for a game
4 times.  So:  for 4 months, I have voted for DOOM as high as I can.

Now, even though DOOM is my favorite game, I cannot vote for it.

Also, it is harder for the games to stay at the top, that it is for them
to get to the top.  How many points did UFO beat DOOM by?  I bet that
it will not last long, but I also think that the scoring system is
messed up.

Get the Games top 100 faq, and read up on it people...
