NES Power Charts - Vol. 31 (December 1991)

For each month, I'm posting the chart in two forms. The first is exactly how the chart looked in Nintendo Power magazine. The second is the "real" chart, as it should have looked with all errors and typos corrected. It's possible to correct errors for the first 31 volumes because on the next page, the list of the top 30 for each of the three voting blocks (players, pros, & dealers) was published separately. So doing some math revealed any errors.

In the second chart, I've also listed every game which earned points in addition to the overall top 30. A game must have made the top 30 of one of the three categories to earn points.

Errors: Bases Loaded in the players' picks should be Bases Loaded 2, so its total points are wrong and it should rise from 21 to 14.
