Arcade Stuff

So which games does anyone think are actually fun?  I like Ultimate Billiards. 

[tree]

I like Mumu. Mahjong, Jewels, Quix, and Znax. I play a few others, but these are my favorites for passing time

[stpitner]

I like Seconds of Madness even if it does drive me up the wall when I think I'm going well and all of a sudden I whack into 5 million things.  I agree with Mumu and Mahjong.  QWERTY is the best, but unfortunately can't track you scores on it here.

[Bruce Brakel]

Mumu looks like a fun game but there are too many shades of blue and tan that look the same to me.  Quix has some confusing colors too. 

Is there any strategy to Znax or is it just click on rectangles as quickly as possible?  Is there any value in going for full board four corner squares? 

[Bruce Brakel]

I found out tonight that if you complete all ten levels of Ultimate Billiards and try to post the score you get an error message.  So if you get that far, scratch with one ball left.

mahjong all the way, easily my fav...
now that i regained the lead, feel i can complain 

i play several other mahjong programs, and it seems this one has some bad programming. lots of rediculously bad deals, like 4 of the same tile in the top center making a reshuffle necessary. in most of my other programs i generally have about a 30% win ratio, but this one seems like 5%...

ill still vie for the title of discontinuum mahjong master, but maybe we could get another version of mahjong?^^

anyone else or is it just me?

[Bruce Brakel]

This Mahjong deals lots of unwinnable games.  Some are obvious like the capstone sitting on its three matchers and some are not so obvious.

<3 the arcade

What happened to the Arcade?  Since the web site update, I can't find it!

[mirth]

Arcade's on hiatus. Had to uninstall it because of issues with the message board. Trying to find something that integrates into the whole site now.

[CEValkyrie]

Arcade is working. When I submitted a score to Pac Man there was an error.

[mirth]

Apparently Grillenberger Pacman (which is what I think you were playing) isn't exactly supported by this version of the arcade. That game has been removed.

There is another pacman in there tho, so have at it!

[J.R.]

I hate to complain and sound like an ingrate after all the work you've done Mirth, so I'll just throw this out there.

The new arcade records all scores rather than replacing your old best score with a new one. Maybe this is preferable, I just wonder if the high score table will get unwieldy?  Or do you have a limit set as to the number of high scores it will display?  Just my two cents.

Thanks for getting the arcade up and running again.  I actually missed it...though I'm embarassed to admit it.

[mirth]

Thats fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out!

[J.R.]

Cool!  Thanks Mirth.

[mirth]

Added a couple more games to the arcade. We now have Kitten Cannon & Super Mario 2.

[stpitner]

just out of curiosity, would it be worthwhile to look into reformatting how the list of games you're the champion of were resorted so that it doesn't make your sig huge?  Spread them out horizontally instead of vertically?  I'm not sure if it was intentional that way or not.

Need to go reclaim my mumu title...
