For each game, the total number of votes, the average rating, and the vote distribution are shown. New games are indicated by a "*" before their entry. If a "(C)" appears after the title it means that the game is a CD-ROM or disc system title. If a "(J)" appears after the title it means that the game is currently only available in Japan. The general guideline for ratings is: 8-10 worth buying at full price 6-7 worth buying at a discount, or if you're particularly interested in this kind of game 3-5 only worth renting 2 only worth playing for free, and only for a few minutes 1 worthless The vote distribution uses a single character to represent the percentage of votes for each ranking. The following character codes can appear: "." no votes cast "3" 30-39% of the votes "7" 70-79% of the votes "0" 1-9% of the votes "4" 40-49% of the votes "8" 80-89% of the votes "1" 10-19% of the votes "5" 50-59% of the votes "9" 90-99% of the votes "2" 20-29% of the votes "6" 60-69% of the votes "*" 100% of the votes Please consult the article entitled "ABOUT THE VIDEO GAME RATINGS REPORT" in the newsgroup rec.games.video for more details, including information on how to vote.
