When it is announced that only ten games were submitted to this
year's competition, LucFrench will be very disappointed to have
missed so many of his predictions.  He'll be pleasantly surprised
when he reads the titles, though:

   Burn All Hot Dogs, Quick!
   The Wrong Thumb, The Tokyo Video Post, And The Very Bad Eraser
   To Film An Old Monster Movie
   Murder? Report Yourself To The Copper
   Mailing List or Newsgroup: You Review The Opposable Call
   Black City Cat in "Oh Pretty Glint Ring!"
   Stomp Under The Zork Plant And Whimper
   Singing Ogre Scientist 3: A Teleport To The Humanity Dimension
   Bang (mad you jump) [sic]
   After Cold Fusion, It's Brain Failure Time
