Re: [Audyssey] Top ten games discussion
I haven't finished technoshock either due to the insane difficulty, but i do have to admit it's well put together and complex for an uncommercial game, which is why I wasn't too surprised to see it in that list.

I'd have been interested to see what the other contenders would've been if it had been 10 games for each catagory instead of five, especially given that the voting system gave people ten slots to play with. Hmmm, part of me does also wonder if some games got in there because people were attempting to think of 10 games for each slot instead of five. I know I put Gma tank commander and Technoshock in there myself, but probably wouldn't have if I'd have only been required to vote for 5 games of each type. Beware the Grue!
