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 1999, Issue 60. The current points list is: Julian Gregory 239.6 Bev Truter 232.5 John Moore/Arnie 179.0 Phil Darke 174.2 Mongoose 173.8 Jim Johnston 164.3 Ron Rainbird 160.6 Vic Horsley 159.6 Simon Avery/Grimwold 156.7 Tom Lorimer 153.7 Neil Shipman 150.7 Piotr Tyminski 148.5 Hazel Bradshaw 144.6 The Bitmap Kid 144.3 Andrew Wielochowski 134.6 Alex van Kaam 132.2 Phil Richmond 124.0 Janice Charnley 121.6 Dave Booth 117.4 Dave Stone 116.1 Mary Scott-Parker 114.0 Alex McEwan 111.8 MerC 96.1 Paul Hardy 93.3 Andy Stenhouse 91.5 William McCole 91.4 Belisana 89.8 Philip Reynolds 88.8 Richard Hewison 80.9 Dorothy Millard 78.8 Richard Hunt 77.7 Mark Bradshaw 75.2 David Froude 72.7 Alison Dunbar 70.5 Paul Shoumov 62.9 John Betteridge 60.1 Matthew Pegg 58.8 George Smith 54.6 Keeks 54.2 Peter Clark 54.1 Richard Batey 51.9 Maureen Barton 51.3 James Jillians 50.5 Diana Griffiths 50.3 Steve Clay 46.2 Ian Taylor 45.1 John R Barnsley 44.8 Terry Brawls 43.2 Kev Phillips 43.1 Carolyn Brown 41.1 Graham Wheeler 40.1 John Whatty 39.7 Alan Beer 39.5 Karen Tyers 39.4 Shebo 38.8 Henry Rushing 37.9 Linda Turnham 34.3 The Grue! 32.6 Marion Taylor 31.0 John Wilson/Balrog 29.5 Dave Malmberg 29.4 John Ferris 28.8 Bill Commons 28.0 Kjell Robertsen 27.8 Nigel Parker 27.4 Steve McGuire 26.3 Nettie McCombe 25.7 Michael J Roberts 25.6 Jenny Perry 23.6 High Voltage 23.3 Tony Woolcock 22.6 Ed Smith 22.2 Laura Duncan 22.1 Claire Dyard 21.1 John Carter 19.5 Colin Campbell 18.8 Nick Edmunds 18.0 The Wayfarer 17.7 Jean Childs 17.0 Stephanie Rhodes 16.5 Steven Fleischaker 16.3 Brian Burke 16.2 Jesslyn Truter 16.2 Paul Vincent 16.0 Bill Hoggett 15.8 Paul Johnson 15.3 Joel Finch 15.2 Niall Dowling 15.0 Barbara Gibb 15.0 Greg Lord 14.6 Theo Clarke 14.3 Christopher Teague 14.1 Patrick Farley 13.7 Neil Currie 13.3 Sox 13.2 Frederick Darlington 12.3 Pete Phillips 12.2 Peter Hague 12.0 Charlotte Wolle 11.8 Vicky Campbell 11.5 Sue Roseblade 11.2 Steve Cook 10.9 Mark McDermott 10.8 Keith Adam 10.8 Lode van de Velde 10.7 Dave Barker 10.6 James Judge 10.2 Mark Darlison 9.8 Anna Bradshaw 9.5 Ivan Broad 9.4 Paul Cardin 9.0 Tim Kemp 8.7 Mal Ellul 8.7 Clive Wilson 7.9 Steve Provost 7.7 Rusty 7.2 STormbringer 6.9 Graham Cluley 6.8 Laurence Creighton 6.0 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 Jay Blank 4.5 Adrian Sill 3.8 David Stocks 3.7 David Charnley 3.7 Dawn Tilbrook 3.5 Paul Brunyee 3.0 John Gurd 2.9 Kanga 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 Mandy Rodrigues 1.7 Mike Gerrard 1.6 Jill Nott 1.5 Philip Morgan 1.4 David Lacey 1.3 Graham Raven 1.2 Andy Clark 1.1 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 Paul Coppins 0.6 Geoff Knight 0.5 Shaz 0.2 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 -
