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 next issue - May 1998, Issue 54. The current points list is: Brian Burke 256.6 James Judge 251.7 Bill Commons 242.5 Alex van Kaam 199.9 Diana Griffiths 199.8 Julian Gregory 182.5 John Moore/Arnie 178.5 Ron Rainbird 160.6 Simon Avery/Grimwold 156.7 Piotr Tyminski 148.5 Mongoose 148.1 Hazel Bradshaw 144.6 The Bitmap Kid 144.3 Jim Johnston 143.5 Tom Lorimer 133.9 Bev Truter 129.8 Neil Shipman 127.9 Phil Richmond 124.0 Mary Scott-Parker 114.0 Alex McEwan 111.8 Janice Charnley 98.9 Dave Stone 92.4 Andy Stenhouse 91.5 Belisana 89.8 Phil Darke 89.7 Philip Reynolds 88.8 Andrew Wielochowski 87.4 Vic Horsley 86.7 Richard Hunt 77.7 MerC 76.4 Mark Bradshaw 75.2 David Froude 72.7 Richard Hewison 70.9 Alison Dunbar 70.5 William McCole 65.6 Paul Shoumov 62.9 Matthew Pegg 58.8 Dave Booth 59.7 George Smith 54.6 Richard Batey 51.9 Maureen Barton 51.3 James Jillians 50.5 Steve Clay 46.2 Ian Taylor 45.1 John R Barnsley 44.8 Terry Brawls 43.2 Kev Phillips 43.1 Graham Wheeler 40.1 John Whatty 39.7 Alan Beer 39.5 Shebo 38.8 Henry Rushing 37.9 Linda Turnham 34.3 The Grue! 32.6 Marion Taylor 31.0 John Betteridge 30.2 Dave Malmberg 29.4 Dorothy Millard 28.3 Nigel Parker 27.4 Steve McGuire 26.3 John Wilson/Balrog 25.7 Michael J Roberts 25.6 Peter Clark 25.2 Jenny Perry 23.6 High Voltage 23.3 Kjell Robertsen 23.0 Tony Woolcock 22.6 Claire Dyard 21.1 John Carter 19.5 Colin Campbell 18.8 The Wayfarer 17.7 Steven Fleischaker 16.3 Paul Vincent 16.0 Bill Hoggett 15.8 Paul Johnson 15.3 Joel Finch 15.2 Niall Dowling 15.0 Barbara Gibb 15.0 Jess Truter 14.8 Greg Lord 14.6 Laura Duncan 14.5 Theo Clarke 14.3 Christopher Teague 14.1 Patrick Farley 13.7 Carolyn Brown 13.6 Sox 13.2 Neil Currie 12.4 Frederick Darlington 12.3 Pete Phillips 12.2 Peter Hague 12.0 Keeks 11.5 Vicky Campbell 11.1 Steve Cook 10.9 Mark McDermott 10.8 Keith Adam 10.8 Lode van de Velde 10.7 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 Paul Hardy 8.4 John Ferris 8.2 Clive Wilson 7.9 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 Steve Provost 2.9 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 Danny Pearman 2.2 Amanda Oliver 2.0 Antony Bartlett 1.8 Mike Gerrard 1.6 Nettie McCombe 1.6 Philip Morgan 1.4 David Lacey 1.3 Simon Poxon 1.0 Don Burley 0.9 Norman Allan 0.9 Keith Green 0.9 John Lines 0.9 Martyn Westwood 0.7 L Thompson/Thommo 0.6 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 -
