 It might be also of note that games in the TOP 100 get penalised after
a while. You cannot vote for the same game for over 20 weeks (don't quote
me) and games that have been in the chart longer have a larger penalty on
their overall score. Tho I love Civ dearly how much competition did it
have to contend with when it was released? It may well have been 44 weeks
til another decent strategy game was released. And look at the other 4
games in the top 5 ALL strategy games which is some competition for DooM.
 Whether DooM is dieing off or not it will certainly be the benchmark for
games, albeit action games, for many years. How many people remember Elite?
How long was it before an Elite-beater came around?
