ABOUT THE VIDEO GAME RATINGS REPORT
|
|
|
|
In this report, video games have been rated on a scale of 1 to 10,
|
|
with 10 being the best and 1 being the worst. For each video game,
|
|
the total number of votes, the average rating, and the vote
|
|
distribution are shown. New video games are indicated by an `*'
|
|
before their entry.
|
|
|
|
The vote distribution uses a single character to represent the
|
|
percentage of votes for each ranking. The following characters 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
|
|
|
|
To have your votes tallied in the list, send mail to the video game
|
|
ratings server (the address is given below). In your letter, any line
|
|
beginning with the word `vote' will be considered a vote. All other
|
|
lines are ignored. Votes must be of the form:
|
|
|
|
vote rating system-code video-game-title
|
|
|
|
where `rating' is an integer between 1 and 10, `system-code' is a
|
|
two-letter code describing the system, and `video-game-title' is
|
|
everything else on the line after `system-code'. Valid system codes
|
|
include:
|
|
|
|

The source code for this system and much of this text for this ratings
|
|
report was provided by Chuck Musciano. John Leo originally adapted
|
|
this system for video games, and Eric Ng (the current video game
|
|
ratings report administrator) has since made many more modifications.
|
|
|
|
