The winning entry was submitted by Alexander Dumproff. It was:

This contest had to be taken down because of John Romero filing a lawsuit because of "the other two games making his masterpiece look bad". 3DRealms' reply was that they rather "seem to have a good sense of irony by putting their masterpiece [Xenophage] together with the two other crap games." Shortly after that only the sales of Big Rigs increased - making its developer the one with most buying power world wide.

Some of the others (in no particular order):

  1. Romero's Angels, the story of a detective team of 3 games that use their incredible sex appeal and some kung-fu to put the beat down on the bad guys. Starring: The Asian (Daikatana), The Fighter (Xenophage), and the Fat Ugly Annoying one (Big Rigs). Rated R. (Drew Barnoski)
  2. Joe's favourite three games, and also the main reason why he's not working on DNF. (Nick Mattheij)
  3. The fans were utterly relieved when 3DRealms finally disclosed their sources of inspiration for Duke Nukem Forever. (Haavar Eidslott)
  4. "You're Loser!" (Rob Dagg)
  5. 18 wheels of thunder + 4 claws of rage + 1 magic sword = 3 boxes of crap (John Struharik)
  6. God have mercy on our PCs (Mackenzie Ponech)
  7. "Daikatnophage: Rigs Shooting Aliens! Coming soon" (Gareth Lynch)
  8. Find three errors in that picture. (Jens Eggert)
  9. Mourning for Joseph Sielger

    O, how did you ever fall so low,
    that your desk holds 'Big Rigs' standing?
    Is the gamer still living in you Joe,
    or has he been sold to bad branding?

    We knew of your affections for Xenophage,
    that travesty they called 'alien bloodsport'.
    Yet mocking contest quips you ne'er did gauge.
    Truly, for this title came from thy own fort!

    Does Daikatana stand as an epitaph,
    that you flaunt it with nary a hitch?
    Of seeming value is it's creator's autograph,
    tells me Romero hath made you his bitch! (Gautam Menon)

In reality, this is three game boxes on Joe Siegler's desk in his office.
