The original authors of these are given credit if known. To recap the points system for the award for any new readers, points are awarded at the rate of 1 point per published K of information in the form of reviews, solutions, hints, maps, letters and articles. Points are NOT awarded for graphic files such as screendumps and photos which are used in the PC 3.5" HD version. The points are added when the data is published, not when it is sent in. Files are published as soon as possible but maintaining the balance of the magazine is also a high priority. The next award will be made in May 1998 - Issue 54. The current points list is: Brian Burke 237.2 Bill Commons 190.4 Diana Griffiths 166.5 Julian Gregory 164.1 Ron Rainbird 160.6 James Judge 157.6 Simon Avery/Grimwold 156.7 Piotr Tyminski 148.5 John Moore/Arnie 146.6 Hazel Bradshaw 144.6 The Bitmap Kid 137.5 Jim Johnston 135.2 Phil Richmond 124.0 Tom Lorimer 121.1 Mongoose 119.9 Mary Scott-Parker 114.0 Alex McEwan 111.8 Neil Shipman 113.9 Alex van Kaam 100.1 Janice Charnley 98.9 Andy Stenhouse 91.5 Belisana 89.8 Philip Reynolds 88.8 Vic Horsley 86.7 Dave Stone 83.6 Bev Truter 82.2 Richard Hunt 77.7 MerC 76.4 Mark Bradshaw 75.2 Phil Darke 73.5 David Froude 72.7 Alison Dunbar 70.5 Andrew Wielochowski 68.7 Paul Shoumov 62.9 Richard Hewison 62.4 Matthew Pegg 58.8 George Smith 54.6 Richard Batey 51.9 Maureen Barton 51.3 Steve Clay 46.2 Ian Taylor 45.1 John R Barnsley 44.8 Kev Phillips 43.1 James Jillians 40.4 Graham Wheeler 40.1 John Whatty 39.7 Alan Beer 39.5 Shebo 38.8 James Jillians 38.2 Henry Rushing 37.9 Linda Turnham 34.3 Terry Brawls 34.0 Marion Taylor 31.0 John Betteridge 30.2 Dave Malmberg 29.4 William McCole 29.3 Nigel Parker 27.4 Steve McGuire 26.3 John Wilson/Balrog 25.7 Michael J Roberts 25.6 High Voltage 23.3 Kjell Robertsen 23.0 Tony Woolcock 22.6 Claire Dyard 21.1 Jenny Perry 21.0 Dave Booth 20.1 John Carter 19.5 Colin Campbell 18.8 The Wayfarer 17.7 Dorothy Millard 17.5 Steven Fleischaker 16.3 Paul Vincent 16.0 Bill Hoggett 15.8 Paul Johnson 15.3 Joel Finch 15.2 The Grue! 15.0 Niall Dowling 15.0 Barbara Gibb 15.0 Jess Truter 14.8 Greg Lord 14.6 Laura Duncan 14.5 Theo Clarke 14.3 Patrick Farley 13.7 Sox 13.2 Neil Currie 12.4 Frederick Darlington 12.3 Pete Phillips 12.2 Peter Hague 12.0 Vicky Campbell 11.1 Steve Cook 10.9 Mark McDermott 10.8 Keith Adam 10.8 Dave Barker 10.6 Mark Darlison 9.8 Anna Bradshaw 9.5 Ivan Broad 9.4 Paul Cardin 9.0 Tim Kemp 8.7 Mal Ellul 8.7 Carolyn Brown 8.5 Paul Hardy 8.4 Clive Wilson 7.9 Peter Clark 7.5 Rusty 7.2 Charlotte Wolle 7.0 STormbringer 6.9 Graham Cluley 6.8 Ray and Jo Green 6.0 Stalker 5.9 Jack Lockerby 5.9 Dave Leary 5.8 John Nicholls 4.9 The Unknown Adventurer 4.8 Neal Medley 4.7 The Phantom 4.6 Laurence Creighton 4.5 Jay Blank 4.5 Jean Childs 4.3 Adrian Sill 3.8 David Charnley 3.7 Dawn Tilbrook 3.5 Paul Brunyee 3.0 John Gurd 2.9 David Stocks 2.6 Stefan Herber 2.5 Steve Frost 2.5 Carl Dove 2.4 David Wagner 2.3 Paul Cooper 2.3 John Ferris 2.3 Danny Pearman 2.2 Amanda Oliver 2.0 Antony Bartlett 1.8 Mike Gerrard 1.6 Philip Morgan 1.4 David Lacey 1.3 Lode van de Velde 1.2 Simon Poxon 1.0 Don Burley 0.9 Norman Allan 0.9 Keith Green 0.9 John Lines 0.9 Martyn Westwood 0.7 Jim O'Keefe 0.6 Sue Roseblade 0.6 Paul Coppins 0.6 Geoff Knight 0.5 Contributions are always welcome for old or new games, hints, solutions, reviews, maps, articles - anything! Ideally they should arrive before the 15th of the month before the disk is produced to have a chance of being included in the next issue. Second (or third) opinions of adventures are always welcome. Ideally I'd like ST and PC contributions in ASCII form on disk and, if you send on disk, I'll replace it with the PD disk of your choice. Amiga text files can also be sent on PC disk using Cross-Dos, Or you can send printouts, typed or hand-written contributions. - o -
