<<prev	geek of the week 2005.08.13  3 Comments  Even thoough I have tons of stuff I "should" be doing, from decluttering my apartment to attending to the loveblender, I've been spending my freetime "tecnoslacking"...no, not playing video games, though come to think of it, it is assembling tools and information about games. I made one page that aggregates the results from 5 "Top 100 Video Games of All Time" lists...EGM 1997 and 2002, Game Informer 2001, and IGN.com 2003 and 2005. Here's the top ten from the "powerlist" I assembled.   Name EGM 1997 EGM 2002 GI 2001 IGN 2003 IGN 2005 1. Tetris 1         2  \/ 1 3  \/ 1 4  \/ 1 3  /\ 1 2. Super Mario 64 4         5  \/ 1 12  \/ 7 5  /\ 7 5  = 3. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 3         3  = 23  \/ 20 6  /\ 17 11  \/ 5 4. Super Metroid 6         1  /\ 5 29  \/ 28 3  /\ 26 10  \/ 7 5. Street Fighter II 5         13  \/ 8 22  \/ 9 10  /\ 12 8  /\ 2 6. Super Mario Bros. 37         22  /\ 15 2  /\ 20 1  /\ 1 1  = 7. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 12         4  /\ 8 18  \/ 14 17  /\ 1 16  /\ 1 8. Chrono Trigger 29         26  /\ 3 15  /\ 11 12  /\ 3 13  \/ 1 9. Super Mario Kart 15         44  \/ 29 35  /\ 9 14  /\ 21 15  \/ 1 10. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time --    8         11  \/ 3 2  /\ 9 2  = I made it so you can compare any subset of the 5 lists, like to see how EGM changed, or just to view a single rating by itself. I'm also working on a basic tutorial for writing music on the Atari 2600 (called "do re bB", bB being the batari BASIC language it's focusing on.). I'm pretty proud of this little HTML keyboard I made for a web front end to a "calculate the note" command line program called "Tune2600"... # #  |   |  # # # | | C | | D | | E | | F | | G | | A | | B | | C You can see the full keyboard at webTune2600.	next >>
