I spoke with a professional corporate web site designer today in person. (This man gets big bucks for designing corporate web sites and I think that's all he does.) He told me that he does in fact design his web sites using 800x600 settings. (Him and his web designer partner may be the only people in their building who use these settings.) He said that although he does design his web sites using these settings he checks the site again at 640x480. He said that a professionally designed web site must look good in either screen setting. I happen to agree with him and have invited him to join the ISC group. So Michael if you are reading this, it is a formal invitation :-) God only knows, we need all the help we can get around here. ;-) Even if it is just a few new reviews for our web site.

The following are a set of links to some of the major game developers. We are having a contest to see which one of these web sites the on line users like the best. We want you to take part in this contest and tell us what your opinion is. Which of the following web sites do you like the best. Send us a message and cast your vote for your favorite web site. You can even use a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the best and naturally 1 (or less) being the worst.

We are selecting the sites at this time. You are welcome to go ahead and cast a vote and/or suggest a new computer game developer's web site that is not on our current list. I will add it to the list as soon as I get your message and check it out for myself.

Go to the following web sites and check out different pages of their web site, not just the front page. I can give you an example of what I am talking about if you go to the EA (gets my 10 vote) and then go to the Janes development web page. This is the best looking, most sophisticated web page that I have seen to date. The graphics on the left are functional, the switches work. The map buildings are also commands that you can click on and they work.

You may feel free to use either 640x480 or 800x600 screen settings to view these web sites, but please tell us what settings you use when you cast your vote. Tell us what settings you normally use when you browse the web. In my own opinion those web designers who design their webs to only look good at 800x600 are discriminating against the majority of the on line public who still use 640x480 screen settings. However that has no bearing on my own preferences in this contest right ? hehe.. NOT! Certainly web sites that offer an option are going to have the advantage and right now Lucas Arts is the only site that does offer that option.

Nova Logic (Looks good in 640x480 or 800x600)) Electronic Arts (designed for 800x600) (Back on line as of this Monday21st.) Interactive Magic Ocean / DID Digital Image Design (designed for 800x600) (They have changed this web site) Lucas Arts (It now has two web styles, one for 640x480 and one for 800x600) Don't you love that logo ? :-)

InterPlay While you are there at Interplay check out the new StarTrek game. Virgin Software (still looking for the right address for this one) NOTE: More names will be added to this list during the next week. Cast your vote anyway, tell us of other web sites, but game designers must be major players.

I am ready to Cast My Vote, So Cast it All Ready :-)

Please note that your vote goes out to several selected members of the ISC team and cheating is not allowed. :-) What this means is that ISC is going to give a fair count because we double check each other.
