http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/comp_faqs Not terribly fancy, but functional. Should be automagically updated after each site update. See also for boxshots: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/comp_boxes --- Once upon a time everything was lovely, but that was before I had to deal with people. |

First to say not bad! Hopefully this will be helpful when completing FAQs. --- If it's meant to be, then it's not meant for me. If it's not meant to be, then it's meant for me. |

Oh, and don't forget, use the Advanced Search (that's the second one at
the bottom of the search page) to see a list of games without
FAQs/boxshots. Just be sure to select games released "in the past" for
a true list of what's missing. --- Once upon a time everything was lovely, but that was before I had to deal with people. |

This is awesome, but I REALLY find it unusual that the Wii has more than 50% completion rate for FAQs. Do games that happen to be under different listings (Such as Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn and FE: Akatsuki no Megami) each count as individual games on the list, or just one? |

The VC games are almost entirely covered on their original systems I would guess... that drives the numbers up methinks. --- 72 FAQs for games never covered at www.GameFAQs.com. DIVISION 6: WORD |

That would explain it, Brian ;) Not sure why, but for some reason Redemption is listed as 0/5 for Completed FAQs, yet Skee-Ball has an FAQ/Strategy guide for it (that is complete) |

Very cool. I'm not surprised it could be automated, and I am glad to see it is. I'd be interested if for instance my Battle Lode Runner FAQ is valid for the Wii. I don't know if there is a way to check this, or there could be a way to encourage checking a guide to verify that it is cross platform. That's obviously open to abuse(ie my NES Lode Runner FAQ got linked with the Wii) and probably not worth the time spent, but just in case... Now back to #78 and #79 for the Apple. --- My glasses!

Finally, great work. This is really GameFAQs stuff ;) How accurate is the data though, as mentioned there might be some errors? LOL @ Amstrad CPC 1 / 1545 Minor suggestion, how about a percentage after each number? Such as: NES 977 / 1535 (63.6%) And are you going to add this to the feature list? |

.For the boxshots: Do thumbnails count? I mean if you only have a thumbnail, does it appear in this stat as missing or not? --- .Nobody is perfect , I'm nobody. :-Þ |

.For the boxshots: Do thumbnails count? I mean if you only have a thumbnail, does it appear in this stat as missing or not? I don't think so, because I remembered seeing quite a lot of thumbnails for Mobile games, yet it is only recorded as 1/319 in the stats page. --- Stealing information from one source is called plagiarism.

From llamaman2 Posted 6/29/2007 7:36:43 AM #023 I noticed an arcade game was missing a boxshot. How is this possible? That's a good question.

I once did a test, submitted a photo of the Pong arcade machine.
Naturally it was rejected. So there should be some filter (or there is
one of sorts) for Arcade, Mobile and Pinball machines among others. For downloadable games there are often placeholder logos, but I've never tried to submit one myself. I suppose one could mention there is "real" boxshot for the game to get it accepted. Or the system could get tweaked to ignore that release as there is no box, not sure how that would be user submitted. |

| Hmmm... I searched a keyword for games with no box
shots released in the past, and many of the results I got did have box
shots. May want to check that out. --- Simpsons Video Games, ya dig? www.noiseland.net ::Elite Rogue:: {//=|RDoN|=\\} |

Now it is. When the thread was first made it was stickied as well,
but when I posted it was not sticky. Infact I found this thread on the
2nd page (30 thread per page setting). When I thread is stickied, it still remains on the list, it just has two links. --- The more you learn, man, the less you know." - Pascal, AC:WW Super Mario Wiki - www.mariowiki.com |

Not what I meant. I know it has two threads once stickied. This one was
de-stickied, (24 hours ago there was 4 stickied threads, one of which
was CJayC's). As I said, I would not have bumped this topic if I knew
it wasn't stickied. Maybe there was a glitch with v9 users (which is
what I'm still using), but I know there was 4 stickies. Anyways, this is not worth arguing about at all, so I apologize for the screw up and am ending this small little debate now! :) --- If it's meant to be, then it's not meant for me. If it's not meant to be, then it's meant for me. |

| It would be nice if the completition regions would get something like a bold font, for example the VirtualBoy for box shots. That and the % as mentioned earlier ;) |
