I would be interested in the results of a survey as to which of the
currently-available home video games (that is, which cartridges)
are "the best", and/or "the worst".
How 'bout this: Anyone with the slightest interest in this could mail
me a list of a few (not more than 5 or so, preferably) of the games
which he/she thinks is the greatest under the sun, and possibly an
equal list of those that should be consigned to the Black Hole of
Calcutta for offenses against our pocketbooks. I'll dutifully play
secretary, and post the results in a couple of weeks, or whenever the
rush dies down. For the sake of the survey, please indicate, if possible,
the machine upon which the game runs (Atari, Intellivision, Colecovision,
or whathaveyou), and the company which manufactures the cartridge
(Atari, Data-age, etc.)
Of course, if I have missed a similar survey or if one is going on,
please let me know. No need to waste bits, after all...
I'm afraid NOT to sign my name,

I havn't forgotten about the video game survey that I proposed a few weeks
ago. I've been waiting for responses to come in regarding survey content
and whether or not we should have the thing. The general concenses so far
is that the survey is a good idea. But I havn't recieved a whole lot of
input regarding content.
For those of you who are new to this newsgroup or those who may have forgotten,
we're going to have a survey to collect information about video game players.
This idea was sparked by the recent discussion about the age of video game
players. We want to find out things like age, favorite game(s), playing
frequency, etc..
This is your last chance to submit an idea for the survey. Let me know
what you think might be interesting to know about us video junkies. I
will post the survey to the net in about one week (September 3rd) so respond
soon if you have any ideas.
