@EpicDragon: No worries, it doesn't take so long when you spin it off the old list. Maybe then some time I'll post an update. Regarding posting scores I'm currently undecided to what to play. I always like Atari 2600 challenges. However I'm about to connect my PS2 console and also looking to play some arcade games on PS4.

@RetroRob: Man, I thought that you had some "link" of the site, a secret code or something. If it is a "manual" thing through "brute force", forget that I'd asked anything, please, don't lost this time doing this, better use you time doing more productive, like playing and posting here.

@EpicDragon: I don't have any specific knowledge to make this list. I was just curious and found it interesting to look beyond the top 20. It was a bit of a puzzle game to look up and fit in users in a top 50 list according to their rank/points. The most difficult part was some users who haven't been active for a while. I see what I can do to bring an update.

RetroRob, my man, hope you're fine! How did you get this Top50 scores last year? Could you make a new Top 50 and share with us this knowledge, if it's not to much to ask... You could make a new topic if it's the case.

@RetroRob:

Oh great, thanks!  I remember it was really overwhelming adding all variations of Atari Classics Collection on Xbox & PS2.  Every game had both arcade and 2600 versions whenever possible, along with all the 2600 variations!  We never got all of them added.

@S.BAZ: Canyon Bomber is the Arcade version and only offers 1 game variation for a single player. The other game variation is the 2 player game. Options can be altered (number of missed attempts) but default is enough. For clarification you could add that in single player mode the player uses the black aircraft/has the black score. Thanks!

@S.BAZ: Yeah, only default for now to avoid redundancy. I thought about adding like 'game 1' in the requests but then remembered that on HS there's the presumption of default unless the title states differently. However if it better I can add a comment to requests in the future. Thanks for adding these! :-)

actually a lot of these had various game selections.  It's fine to just assume default but a lot of times I end up going back and editing titles for clarity.

hello! I'm wondering about PS4 Atari Flashback Classics: Canyon Bomber -- is there just one version, or does it offer all the game selections?  If so we might want to specify "Game 1" or etc.

@S.BAZ:

correction -- it was during the 2nd couple of years.  At first Serious was the only admin and he had a bunch of us from the 2600 High Score Club send him tons of requests for Atari games, and he just entered all of them just like how we wrote it, correcting mistakes later when they got pointed out.  I think about 2 years in he decided to give Sixx and myself admin capabilities, and that was when we started adding all atari games with both A and B settings.

@RetroRob:

Yeah, during the first couple years of highscore.com Serious wanted us to always add all 2600 games with both A and B settings.  The (Atari 2600) category we were just using in case of A/B or B/A settings.

He made us do that just in case, because sometimes the difficulty switches actually do make a difference, even when the instruction manual says they are not used.

Thanks for the added games and the Wall Defender find! Apparently back then it was added both under Atari 2600  Expert/A and Novice/B although switches don't affect gameplay (switches not mentioned in manual / checked gameplay). I guess I just post my score in the busier chart then. yes laugh

@S.BAZ: Good to hear that you could verify that it's original hardware.

@RetroRob:

...So -- Wall Defender is in the system already and I can't add Capture and Break-Down to the title because the game got added too far back.  (It's also known as "Wall-Break")
