Toyshop Trouble and Reindeer Rescue seemed a little bit low, until I realized that the limited editions probably don't get counted.

I would like to see a list based on average sales per month instead of total sales. Older releases get pushed way up to the top while younger, yet popular releases are way down at the bottom. It would be interesting to see what titles sink and what titles rise way up.

I'd like to see the Holiday Cart sales figures rolled into those cart's regular releases (not the giveaway copies... since free is, well, free.)

I know it's been a while since you've updated this, but it's cool to see that I have a game on the Hacks list and on the homebrew list.

It's hard to believe that Adventure Plus is near the top of the hacks list. That was 10 years ago and one of my first hacks. I bought SWOOPS! on a real cart many years ago and it's one of my favorites to plug in for a quick game. I also had Al make me a cart of Sadistroids a long time ago, another one of my favorites. I still love Cave 1k as well. Actually, I think all the games you've made are among my favorites!

You are right, after one year, there is a good time to update the ranking again. I will have a look this weekend.

Thanks for your compliments about my games. I hope you will also like my next one, Star Castle Arcade.
