+KaeruYojimbo Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I've been working in my spare time on creating an all-encompassing online HSC database. What I have so far can be seen here: http://hsc.statotronic.com/ Take a look and let me know what you think. Are there things that could be better? Other types of information you'd like to see? (I intend to include season standings at some point.) Keep in mind that some things won't be completely accurate right now (HSC Debut, Games Played, etc.) because not all of the scores are in yet. As I've been going through the old scores, I've seen some discrepancies. Some, like obvious typos, I've corrected. Others, like scores that were posted but not included in the score list, I haven't. Would it be worth the effort to go back through these old scores and fix any omissions? Is that something anyone cares about, or should I just match the score list as it appears in the old posts? All feedback is greatly appreciated. 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Looks awesome, Kaeru! :thumbsup: I wouldn't bother trying to correct old mistakes -- you'll drive yourself crazy with detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 statistics boost! Rock On !! good ideas I'll throw some more stats your way as I come up with them one that I've been charting is "rounds won." also "seasons won." the corrections, yeah that would be tedious but then again so is the rest of it... i figure as long as it's fun go for it! otherwise don't bother 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Stats are awesome! The more the better. Right now I'm keeping track of top 5 finishes, but I could easily change that to wins if people prefer that. I could also pretty easily add average weekly and overall ranking. Whatever else you've got would be great. In my mind this site will one day be baseball-reference.com for guys who play old video games. As for corrections, I'm going to focus on getting everything in and see how I feel after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 This is cool, thanks for compiling it! Reminds me that I should be playing more. I'm trying to use HSC as a method of getting more familiar with the 2600 library, but I often forget to check the forum for what game is being played. Need to spend more time playing and less time procrastinating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TwentySixHundred Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Pretty cool, definatly adds another element to HSC and a database that shows a complete list of high scores. Brings back the retro feeling of when you see your name listed in a magazine, great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 I'm working on adding season by season breakdowns for each player. Right now I have games played, rounds won and average rank. Might add percent of high score. I'm open to suggestions for anything else you'd like to see. I'd also like to put overall top tens for things like games played and rounds won someplace. Probably on the front page, but I think that will wait until the database is more complete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Thanks, Kaeru. Looking forward to seeing the changes you've made to your database! :thumbsup: Edited July 6, 2015 by Gorfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KaeruYojimbo Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 I've added games played and rounds won leaders for each season that's in the database so far. I'll make the layout nicer when I have a better idea of everything that will be on the page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 I also added Average Rank leaders, but I need to come up with a fair number of minimum games played to weed out those who show up once a year to kick everyone's @$$ at one game.

+KaeruYojimbo Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 I was thinking it might be interesting to add a breakdown of games by genre (shooter, platform, maze, racing, etc.) to the player stats. The main complication would be categorizing some of the more unique games without creating so many sub categories that it defeats the purpose. But I think it would be pretty cool to see which players tend to do better at certain types of games, or which are just across the board good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KaeruYojimbo Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 So I'm closing in on getting all the scores for every season in (after that, medal rounds, knockout tourney and other "special events") and I've been playing around with some ideas for new looks for the site, including a logo. This is a design I came up with years ago, based on the MLB logo (and all the subsequent logos based on the MLB logo). Here is the red-white-and-blue version and a woodgrain version. Let me know what you think and any suggestions you might have for more "Atari" colors. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 maybe a black border on that woodgrain logo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 OK, I'm pretty sure I have all the score for every season in. Here are some numbers. 9,429 scores (not counting bonus games) 18.6 scores per week Biggest single game week - Season 1 Week 3 (49) Smallest week - Season 7 Week 40 (4) 434 players 21.7 scores per player 87 players who played just 1 game 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's listed as 16,500 in the rankings in the thread, but your actual post and screenshot for that week are 16,560 so that's what I used. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/214210-the-new-high-score-club-s2-week-9-demon-attack-game-3/?p=2791892 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
