Map Gab / Re: VGMaps.com now has over 50,000 maps!

Still celebrating VGMaps.com's 50,000 maps!
From the data seen in the last two days, we can see the average filesize per map per platform!
The largest maps on average are on the PSP, mostly due to G.E.R.'s Sonic Rivals and catacombs's Ultimate Ghosts 'N Goblins maps.
The map that is closest to the overall average of 952,006 bytes (929.7 kb) is G.E.R.'s map of Volcano Valley - Stage 1 from Kirby: Mass Attack (DS), which is 1631 bytes over.
The closest that is under, by 2094 bytes, is the map of the Entrance of Dracula's Castle from Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night (PlayStation), by Revned, and thanks to mephea and TerraEsperZ.
Just wanted to mention this, as it's funny to think of this awesome start as an "average map".

Today, we see how much each platform's filesize contributes to the 47,600,318,154 bytes (44.3 GB) of VGMaps.
(Sorry that the colours of the wedges don't always make sense nor are they necessarily the same as they were yesterday.)
Interesting takeaways:
-The PC section takes up ⅓ of all of VGMaps.com ALONE!
-The Switch being second place is kind of crazy, it's a whole tenth of everything, despite having less than 1% of the maps. It's all those massive Kirby and Sonic maps!
-Despite the NES having the most maps (17.3% of them as seen in yesterday's chart), it only takes up 1.8% of space!

Map Gab / What an accomplishment!
« Last post by Cyartog959 on March 22, 2026, 10:24:17 pm »Thanks for bringing up the time I asked for the total map count, Jon!
I knew VGMaps held many game maps, but hardly anybody until then asked about how many there are in total, and, well here we are! Ring the bells, and bake the ham, I'm feeling a bit festive today!
I felt excitement in my heart and mind when I just saw the amount was counted past 50,000, and it was that game to get that count solidified and sped past that! You previously thought the amount would be met by Autumn, but you never knew how quick that can come up, and boy, did it come up so quick; just in time for Spring to begin! What a way to start off another usual season!
I say this, Jon, you, the site, and everyone that contributed maps, now and before, are TRULY blessed to make this happen, and I'm truly hopeful for all this to keep on going beyond decades to come!
I see a good celebration for this! Prayers, blessings, protection, hope and peace to all worldwide and in the whole community! Yeah!
I know there's still lots more games to be mapped, but, for this, I'm feeling the need to celebrate.
We are feeling very good about this! Let's keep this traction going!

Today I made a pie chart showing how many maps there are per platform:
Almost half of the platforms have less than 100 maps... probably not surprising that the NES and Super NES are the most popular sections. With both at about 1/6 of all the maps hosted on VGMaps.com, unsurprisingly (it's math after all), that's 1/3 of all of them. With maps for PC (Windows/DOS) games, that comes to almost half!

This is a productive community and everyone here should be proud of themselves.

Map Requests / Re: JonLeung's Requests
« Last post by JonLeung on March 22, 2026, 02:23:06 pm »Today, we've got maps for the Game Boy Color game, Dragon Warrior Monsters, by Guard Master.
Yes, it's like Pokémon, with monsters from Dragon Quest (or "Dragon Warrior", as it was still known outside of Japan at the time).
Today, I learned that this is the first Dragon Quest game released in Europe, back in January 2000. Man, Europeans didn't have any Dragon Quest games pre-2000? Crazy!
And I see the "(Unmarked)" maps have today's date, so these are actually brand new maps, cool! Not that maps lose their freshness, LOL...
Thanks again as always, Guard Master.
