To no one's surprise, Electronic Arts/Westwood Studio's latest Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun stayed in the top position on the PC Data top-selling games list for the week of Aug. 29 - Sept. 4, as the slightly older Command & Conquer Platinum left the top ten. While the greater part of the list shows all the obvious best-sellers, it is interesting to find Microsoft's NFL Fever taking a firm first leap into the number 8 spot, no doubt for its attractive US$19 price and good gameplay. It is also interesting to note that Microsoft's other sports offering, NBA Inside Drive 2000, didn't make a showing on the list.
Here's a listing of the top games for the week of August 29 - September 4, 1999: Rank / Title / Publisher / Average Price
