it was written either here or on the rybka forum about how spike 1.2 has remained high on the rating list despite the fact that is was released 2 or 3 years ago.

to my mind even more incrediabile is the fact that the freeware ruffians where released as far back as 2002 and are still considered strong enines today and hold rating in the neighborhood of 2670-2710 depending on the version.
