Lots of Downloads

Hey did any of you notice the "Internet PC Games Charts" this week?
Special attention should be given to this section:

(but first, for anyone who doesn't know, these charts are compiled weekly
and posted in *.games.announce, and probably other places.)

Runners Up for Download Top 40 Edition 26 - Week 52 - December 25, 1995

NW Title Developer/Publisher(s) Cat ID

Tip 1 3 Jigsaw {free} Graham Nelson AD [1815]
Tip 2 3 Battle Beast {W} {demo} 7th Level AC [1814]
Tip 3 2 Baryon {share} Acro/Game Factory AC [1823]
[snip]

How does it feel to have beaten "Battle Beast", Graham? (-:

I'm not sure how these "download" charts are compiled. If i had to guess
then i'd think it must be from monitoring the main game sites (which are
listed at the beginning of the chart). One wonders which site Jigsaw is
being downloaded from most (and how many people who download it from whever
they download it can figure out how to get a Zip interpreter to play it...)
