CTP SALES IN MAC-O-RAMA DISAPPEAR FROM TOP TEN
(4 April 2000, 6:53 EST) The latest top ten from http://www.mac-o-rama.com shows that Call to power has slipped from it's previous position to out of the top ten list :(. I probably didn't help by pre-ordering my copy of Baldur's Gate last week. Sales still seem to be doing well, though now it is an established game sales will most likely continue to level off. -Baston
