The VIDTRAC rental numbers this week show an overall decrease in revenues generated by the top five titles. Guess all the fine summer weather is keeping gamers outside instead of glued to their consoles.

　　Rare's Banjo-Kazooie stayed in the number one slot while MK4 and GoldenEye swapped slots. Off Road Challenge held on to the number four position but showed a serious drop in total revenues generated at the rental cash register.

　　In the number five slot, the bad boy wrestlers of WCW vs. N.W.O. World Tour edged out Mr. Nice Guy Ken Griffey Jr. (and MLB Ken Griffey, Jr. ). Here are the full stats on the top-five rental titles for the week ending August 2, 1998 (title, platform, weeks in release, revenues):

　　1 Banjo-Kazooie N64 / 5 / $337,380 2 GoldenEye 007 N64 / 49 / $227,920 3 Mortal Kombat 4 N64 / 6 / $204,100 4 Off Road Challenge N64 / 5 / $187,320 5 WCW vs. N.W.O. World Tour N64 / 35 / $168,470
