Discuss our arcade here.

If this topic actually becomes popular, I might actually do more things with the arcade. =P

Also, bear with us if certain games appear and disappear; I've been noticing some games have trouble saving scores, and have been enabling and disabling them to test... If you see a game that have similar problems in either not loading, or just plain not saving scores, be sure to let us know.

As some of you know, I have been adding selective games to the arcade.
http://www.mlno.org/index.php/topic,7291.0.html

Some do not save scores properly, and should go.
Some do not save properly but are fun to play anyhow!

Some of the older games have not been played in AGES.. and should possibly be archived.

Share your thoughts.

Well, as for the older games; I believe some of them should be simply 'reset'... Aka; have their scores reset so a new generation of arcade players can try their hand at games that would otherwise be impossible to championize. *Cough every single one of the games that has had a champion for the longest*

I mean; if there are a bunch of new games that don't have champions; wouldn't that make people play them?

I don't think it should go for every game, since there are some that can still be obtained with patience. But stuff like Gamedragon's impossible Castle Defender score... =P

---

As for the new games; I was doing that for Mini Tower Defence last night, since it's a very fun game... And I tried it today and the scores worked for me. I don't know why; if it's a time-based thing in that it needed to rework itself, or what.

Also, there are a bunch of games still in the queue to install, so if I don't test them on here, I'll test them on one of the test sites, and add what I think would be good. =)

Kewl..
I believe our tastes in games may be a bit different... so we will have a well rounded set.

BTW.. you can test most of them on the Support board for playability...

Though with a notable lean toward Tower Defence style games, as I see multiple more still there. =P

And yeah, I could; but I also wanna test score saving, so I'll likely try them on RPGM or something. =P

---

Also; to follow up my point in the last post about Gamedragon's record: I will award someone something special(I haven't thought what yet, so please don't ask. =P) if they can dethrone GameDragon on Castle Defender. I've tried, and it seems impossible to me; but if anyone can prove me wrong, then they get some kind of award. =)

There is one game Lionytai and I have played that saved a score  once and no longer does so.. I'd like to figure that one out.. PSol.. eg pyramid solitaire. 

Yeah; I saw Psol and Pyramid Solitaire yesterday; got rid of the ancient variant, which refused to save scores.(Though I might have added that one, I dunno. >>; )

As for the other one, i can't remember if I ever beat that score or not. =P

Some scores had to be lowest as the champion, maybe you could change that?

Lionytai: I'm gonna eventually change that. Still have no clue what the Chess thing's about...

I think that is one that should be changed.

Or; it counts how many pieces were deleted...

Possibly.
The spongebob one wouldn't run.

I ran into it through Random game, and it wouldn't start for me either...

The soduku doesn't run either.

Didn't think so; but if people could confirm, that'd be good. =)

I really would like to see a Sudoku game in the arcade, maybe a Picross-esque game as well.

There was one there...

^^I haven't checked it myself, but what he said.

There are three Sudoku games. One does not work and has been disabled.

Try
http://www.mlno.org/index.php?action=arcade;sa=play;game=248

The Sudoku game MsRR linked works; but doesn't seemingly save scores yet. I give it a while. =P

I didn't see that game. Or it wasn't up there yet.

It was just added last night...

Ah, I see. Thanks.

Score didn't save, like what Blade said.

Gonna start with the testing today.

Would anyone want any arcade contests? Obviously not for the ones like the clicking game, or ones that have a defined max like Skiprock or Glimper, but...

Sometimes it's just for luck.

Yeah, but at least for those you can just hit the 'play' thing where the link to the high scores or random game is, to try again. =P

I know.

Maybe the contest will work somehow. Any ideas for which games?

No clue.

Also, i see that I can do something intriguing with these... heh.

That might be cheating.

Nope; definitely not cheating, as it's not an actual method of playing these. ;) In fact, there's only one way this would correspond to playing with the games, and it doesn't involve winning them... Can't say too much right now, since it's supposed to be, you know, secret until it's implemented. =P

Of course, should be kept secret, and Blade could not join because he was the one who planned it.  >:D
Just kidding

I know I won't be able to join in on my secret project... Disappointing; but since it would be a moot point for me to do that anyway, I don't mind. =P

I have a question, is it possible to include a high end game in our arcade library? Eg; Pirates of the Caribbean or Star Wars

No. We're limited to what's on the game list; plus; flash games typically aren't capable of high end gaming.

Plus, the amount of data that would need to be streamed is also partly why. =P

What's high end gaming?

Retail gaming. Basically anything you buy. =P

We could buy the Mario game. If we were that long ago alive.

Technically you still can. *Points at the Wii VC* However; the Mario game is not any existing game, and is simply a low quality fan game, like the Megaman ones on the Arcade.

I see.
Has anyone beat the mine game?

I fail at Minesweeper. D= Always have, always will. =P

Luck, sometimes,basically.

You'd need like 9001+ in your luck stat, plus a few horseshoes equipped to have enough luck for MineSweeper. =P

Well, first few and last few shots are luck,everything in middle requires skill.

I guess. Unless you don't get the whole section at once. =P

After getting the whole section you need skill.


Micah's trying to beat your mini tower record.

That's okay, I got it up to 500,000 last night, it just wouldn't save for some reason. =P

Mine wouldn't save if I turned off my computer.

Hmm... That's weird. It's saved for me multiple times, but only on one computer.

Maybe your flash settings are different...

How could I tell, or find out?


Or maybe it's because I disabled browsing history?

I have no clue... it said it integrated into the privacy controls like 4 updates ago, and i still see nothing new. So I have no clue. *Shrugs* But as long as cookies are being accepted, I don't see the real problem... Hmm...

I think I disabled the cookies.

Well, that might be it, but I'm not sure. See, I disabled cookies, but added sites to accept so that I could stay logged in here and such.

I stayed logged in here. Maybe I didn't disable the cookies,

I'm not sure... Hmm... Weird. Really weird.

You guys lost me...

=P

Been slowly going through pretty much 1400 games. Not making much progress. ._.;

I do have some that'll definitely not be added, however.

I got THAT part...

You didn't get the discussion about Mini Tower Defence? =p

I enabled the cookies, and it could save now.

No.. please translate.

I couldn't save my score...again.

I meant it told me to start a new game.

Weird. Maybe your flash settings are different or something, which can only fixed by use of the adobe site... I dunno. *Shrugs* =/

Micah took over your record.

For two seconds. =P

So did you remove those games I mentioned as bloody?

I haven't really done much of anything regarding the arcade here today. =P

Do you plan to remove them?

Yes. At least Monkey Ball, since I've even noticed the thing that you pointed out. It just got put in the pile to deal with later, and that pile got lost in a bigger pile I believe.

If you could try the different games that are on there now and report the ones that are, in your opinion, inappropriate, I will test them when I can, and if i decide the same, I will remove them then.

Do you mean in our arcade?

Yes...

Then I don't see any...for now.

Alright then. =P

If you DO report a game, you need to be specific about what is wrong with it. Not just "bloody"
 It is too violent when X happens. so we know what to look for.

Some of the games you have reported you have played many times.. so how are they offensive??

Monkey B--> When it hits a pineapple there is blood coming out of the monkey's head

That is a LOT less gross than some of the fighting games.. but it has been disabled.

I only tried the ones we have.

I am talking about the ones we have.

I don't see any gross fighting games there.

If it's possible, I'd like to see a game like the following:

http://www.flasharcade.com/puzzle-games/circuit-game.html

If we already have one, a link would be welcome! Since I'll be using it for all electronics-related activity in BNS.  :P

EDIT: Also, something like this would be nice:
http://www.heroglyphix.com/

that circuit game wouldn't load in chrome, and when i opened it in IE, it tried to give me a tracking cookie o_O

Could you explain the Circuit game? I might know what you're talking about, but my typical site paranoia, combined with what MTM said, makes me extremely cautious. =P

And what's the Hieroglyphix one?

>_< I didn't mean for you to PLAY it, I meant for you to read the description and see if we have something similar.  :facepalm:

I just want a game that involves reconnecting circuits.  The more complex and realistic, the better. :P

Heroglyphix is basically an online version of Picross.  I was hoping you could find a version we could use (again, as a "minigame" for BNS). ;)

Circuits... It's kinda like a pipe connecting game, or is it something else, like the electrolyzer minigame in Ratchet and Clank 2?

As for Picross; I could be mistaken but I think we might have one on our arcade. We've got a lot of stuff that's cool now, like a couple RPG-like games(Mostly just the turn based battles portion though... But there is a VNOG-styled Action RPG that I kinda like... Even if the scores won't seem to save. =P); I believe there's a strategy game based on StarCraft, though I haven't tested that at all since it runs slowly for me(Take a wild guess why. ::)); and I'm sure there's other things that'd surprise people.

However; I believe I should try them all first, to make sure they should actually go up. =P

How do you decide?

Well, for one, inappropriate stuff is gotten rid of on sight. And then it's a judgement call, but I'd likely tell you so you can test first as well. =P

I doubt any of the ones where the screen pans and is a shooter will get added(Aka; any that are like the 007 Everything or Nothing game we have as a choice on the arcade)...

I have been adding games that seem like they would be fun.. either to me, or because I have seen others enjoy the genre.

I check the out before I add them.. all are available elsewhere to play ( like on the support board =P)

I have left a few up that did not score for me in case it is just my computer.

There are a few I would like to weed out, mostly because they seem er... lame.

I would agree. Some just don't seem that fun.

However; I must say this: Some of the games from the first batch have disappeared upon release of the second batch... However, I do not have a clue how many of those there are.

A combination of both would be really cool, actually. :P

I'll look to see if we have any; I know we have the pipe connecting one as it should already be up on the arcade... However; whether we have one similar to the electrolyser puzzles; I'd have to check. =)

I have not seen one as yet.. and I belive we have two of the pipe ones.. and lionytai is champ on at least one.

I believe I posed this question last page or so, but...

What game isn't Lionytai a champion of on our arcade? =P

LOLZ..

In fact; the few games I can get champions on, I typically get mentions that I'm not champions of a couple hours after, though I hung onto one for a whole week or so! =P

I feel your pain...

Yeah, sorry 'bout that, for some of them.

Now; what should we do about things like GameDragon's impossible score? =P

 I've been the champion for quite a while on Robb'sPacman. :)

about 2/3 of them aren't. Check the statistics.  ;)

Figure of speech, plus you have more than anyone else, which is what I was trying to point out. =P

Yes, yes, figurative language. Not really true. 55/226 is not even a quarter.

You still have more champions than anyone else, though. =P

 Does anyone here still use the arcade? =P

What arcade are you talking about?

Mahri: Yes. =P

 I haven't gone there in like a year and a half. =P

Mahri: You should look again; more games have been added recently. =P

 Maybe when I have the time. I just started Portal 2 however...

Say no more, finish that, and then try the new games. =P

Blade wants to boost activity.

=(  score went to home..... but I took a screenie..

I hate it when things do that. =/

You have Windows 7 now?

Nope.. still have XP

...? Really? Then how do you have the transparency type of thing 7 has? 0_o Unless that's how Firefox handles that new mode now...

I am using chrome, and what transparency?

On 7, you have the effect with Aero that allows you to see what's on your desktop, on the header bar.(Like, where it should the icon for the program, and the name of the program. ;)) That's why I thought it was 7, I'm not used to seeing it on other stuff. =P

I see.. any way to make that score official on the game scores thing?

Unfortunately, I've never seen that option. =/ Which is extremely weird, if you ask me.

It is SO frustrating when you play a game that HAS scored in the past and it doesn't save a scaor. I just had a 77000+ score on EliteMahjong... and no save. =(  *grrrr* :headdesk: :knuppel2:

AND AGAIN...

(http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/8427/mahjongz.jpg)

I am using Firefox currently...

WHich game is it?

 Mahjong where I am already champion anyhow..

Been playing Tenniste on the MLNO arcade all day.

Almost got the high score. so close.

New High Score for PoolJam.. wish scoring worked...
