Craig 6328 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 We now have a games arcade section on the board! Have a look at the bar near the top next to where you click for Help, Search, Members & Calendar. You should see a new option called Arcade - click on it and try it out If it proves successful & popular, I'll upload some different games (I've found a decent source). Pretty good little mod, you can have your own tournaments going and should you achieve a top score, it will be highlighted in your profile details against each post you make! Any questions, just yell.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 18171 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 What a fantastic idea Craig. I have a complaint about Pac man though - it's not a direct emulation, the ghosts behaviour isn't quite right. I spent weeks in the 80s learning specific routines on how to beat the game, which for some utterly bizarre reason I can still remember. I was looking forward to impressing you all with my 200,000 plus scores and reaching the mythical 'ninth key' level, but it doesn't work. Also there are no cut animation scenes. Did you know on the later levels the ghosts don't turn blue when you eat an energiser, in fact eventually they don't even run away? They don't make games that hard nowadays....

Renton 18171 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Peasepud - 50,860 on Space invaders? I've just got over 20,000 and my wrist now knows what it would feel like to be attached to Jimbo's arm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckypierre 0 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 both the greatest and the worst idea ever.. can you turn it off between 9 and 5 please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6328 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Glad it's popular! (Think I'd better go and find some more games then! ) Renton, can't help you with the Pacman emulation I'm afraid. These games were built into the mod so I'm afraid WYSIWYG. Luckypierre - it's possible to grant individual permission per member - but would you really want everyone else having a go at trying to beat your top scores when you can't?

luckypierre 0 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 luckilly I've got a day off today, hopefully I can get it all out of my system. What other games are there Craig? Any vertical shooters like 1942? peasepuds space invaders score next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is, I'm having trouble with my registration at the moment (you need a 'webmaster@xxxxxx.xxx' email address and while I have 'webmaster@toontastic.net', it doesn't seem to be validating the registration - will speak to them today...

chip2388 0 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Quality idea. How about adding the snooker game there as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckypierre 0 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 to be honest, and Im not being cocky, its possible to play it forever, its far too generous with extra lives. All you have to do is when they get to the lowest start point make sure they dont turn direction more than once, if they do and you havent taken the bottom layer out first its instant game over. I'll leave the rest to you grasshopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very hard to get past wave 3 in the arcade original iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
