What is WorldScores?

WorldScores enables almost every 32-bit PC game (both Windows 95 and Windows NT) to transmit a player's score to a rankings database for later retrieval and comparison via the Internet. It targets single player and multi-player games that utilize traditional score keeping, timers, and scores based on multiple criteria. WorldScores gives network gamers a chance to get competitive without having to arrange online games, and it offers arcade-style game fans a compelling reason to play.

Posting Your Score

In order to post successfully, you must first add yourself to the WorldScores user database by selecting User Setup.

If you've already chosen a User ID and Password in the User Setup area then you can upload your score simply by selecting your User ID from the drop down list box, entering your password, and pressing the <Post Score> button.


User Setup

The User Setup dialog is comprised of two tabular screens.

The Create New User tab lets you choose a User ID and Password for uploading your score from within all WorldScores enabled games. Your User ID should be a nickname: this is what people will see on the rankings pages. Asterisks indicate mandatory fields and you must check the WorldScores user agreement before submitting the information. To obtain a current list of countries, select Refresh Country List while connected to the Internet. After hitting Submit, you will either be presented with a Welcome dialog or receive notice that your User ID has already been taken.

The Edit Existing User tab lets you modify previously submitted user information. You have the ability to change a Password or completely delete a user, but in order to do so, you must first select Retrieve User Info.
