FAQs: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/comp_faqs Boxes: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/comp_boxes Numbers are: number of front boxshots or complete faqs / number of games/releases in the database --- Once upon a time everything was lovely, but that was before I had to deal with people. |

Wow, that's pretty great. How often will they be updated? Any idea or whether you'll ever have user level stats like that for the message boards? --- $my_cars = array("1972 Firebird", "1979 Trans Am"); $kick_ass++; |

Nice! But there should be "other" column for games/releases that were
not from US/EU/JP, or even better just add AU, SA, KO etc to the stats,
especially for box shot stats (probably not a good idea for FAQ stats). Hmmm, looking at it, a console called GP32 has 21 releases but only 1 of them from either US/EU/JP... --- Stealing information from one source is called plagiarism. Stealing information from many sources is called research. |

That's neat, any chance that this could be done for reviews too? --- He lived a long, full life. Wait, he was my age... |

I had a bit of time free with excel so decided to some maths based on
boxes. These stats are correct as of when I took the data (a couple of
hours ago). All %ages are rounded up to a whole number... Overall completion of the boxes project is at 37% (North America 42%, Japan 39%, Europe 36%, Others 3%*) *-Others is Korea, Worldwide, Australia and any others... Top 10 overall complete systems ========================== #1.VirtualBoy (100%) #2.Atari 5200 (95%) #3.Atari 7800 (92%) #3.Nintendo 64DD (92%) #5.NeoGeo (86%) #6.DS (85%) #6.Turbo CD (85%) #8.WonderSwan Color (82%) #9.PC-FX (81%) 10.Sega CD (80%) 10.SG-1000 (80%) Top 10 North America complete systems ================================ #1.Virtual Boy (100%) #2.Atari 7800 (97%) #3.NES (96%) #3.DS (96%) #5.Atari 5200 (95%) #6.PSP (94%) #6.Wii (94%) #8.XBOX360 (93%) #9.Playstation 3 (92%) #9.Atari Jaguar (92%) Top 10 Japan complete systems ========================== #1.VirtualBoy (100%) #2.DS (98%) #3.Genesis (97%) #4.Sega CD (96%) #5.TurboGrafx-16 (94%) #6.Neo Geo (93%) #7.Nintendo64DD (92%) #8.Turbo CD (91%) #9.WonderSwan Color (83%) #9.Dreamcast (83%) #9.Wii (83%) Top 10 Europe complete systems =========================== #1.Oric 1/Atmos (100%) <- Finally not a VirtualBoy!!! #2.DS (94%) #3.NeoGeo Pocket Color (86%) #4.Sega 32X (82%) #5.Xbox360 (79%) #5.Wii (79%) #7.Saturn (76%) #8.Sega Master System (73%) #9.PSP (58%) 10.MSX (57%) And i'm not doing others.

Oh, yeah forgot to say another reason why the overall stat is lower is
because there are other releases outside of NA, EU and JP. But the main
reasons have been listed in my post above. --- Stealing information from one source is called plagiarism. Stealing information from many sources is called research. |

Very nice, the box one should be useful since it can be annoying to
look through a system thoroughly only to find the vast majority already
have images. Something just barely related but figured I'd mention it since might see it here, concerning box art. When I do a search for a game, Final Fantasy for example: http://www.gamefaqs.com/search/index.html?game=final+fantasy&platform=0 It lists pics in the results, which is useful at indicating that there are images. On the other hand, if you look by system, like so: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/genesis/list_m.html Notice it doesn't list pics there even though many of the games have pictures. It would be useful if the pics link was integrated when browsing by system as well, both for regular users on the page and those of us who might be sending in art. --- -011a5-400c974c; |

It's like that with Game Saves as well. I'm guessing both are just not
important enough to warrent changing the list pages. Maybe someday in
the future though. --- Spoilers - There are none here. (>ò_ó)>---{[=(>x_x)> |
