Big Tom's Genesis CD Game Ratings -

Tired of those lists that you have to search endlessly through.  Forget
them, here is the simple rating system to see how good a game is.  If
you want to vote, see the paragraph at the end of this article.

    *      -  Dreck, yak, bleck, hack, gleck (Horrible beyond words).
    **     -  OK, playable, still dreck, although someone might like.
    ***    -  Decent game that will appeal to some (But not everyone).
    ****   -  Pretty good, a fun game that almost everyone will like.
    *****  -  Damn good, a real winner, every game should be this good.

Here's how to vote:

     Simply E-mail me (tmartin@dpw.com) with your votes.  You certainly can
vote for games that are not on this meager list and they will be added.
Please make your vote an even number of stars (1-5) or we will not include
it in our list.  Also, the number of players (available on the screen at
once) should be included, as well as as short description similar to those
listed above, how many hours of play you think the average game player can
reasonably expect to beat or play out the game, and for new games or games
that don't list it, the company name.

     Thanks for participating.

  KIRK - Khan you bloodsucker...
  KHAN - Kirk, you're still alive my old friend.
  KIRK - Still! Old! Friend!  You've managed to kill just about everyone
	  else, but like a poor marksman you keep missing the target!
