Arcde 47, Mac 0

Amy,

I am running an iMac G3 using OS X Panther and Safari - Java and Flash plugins are working fine. Most games work fine for me lately, however, Fling the Cow, Breakout and Fall Down Drunk seem to freeze on me a lot. This wouldn't bother me, except SOMEONE (that would be YOU, Amy) challenged me in the Cow game and now I'm hooked and really, really want to play.... and Breakout used to be one of favorite games ever....

Suggestions?

These games work great on my PC, but I spend 95% of my time on my Mac for design work....

Re: Arcde 47, Mac 0

I'm not on a Mac but I cannot get some of the games to work for me either
No Alchamey, no photohunt, ... no ... there was something else ...
When I play hangman I am not given any words - my score is always zero.

Re: Arcde 47, Mac 0

I'm not on a mac either, but I have issues with a lot of the games - Equilbirum has never loaded for me, Pingu Slap has only loaded once, Home Run only loads sometimes, and many others.

Of course, I'm no stinkin' good at any of them, so what's the diff?

Kath, does it *never* give you any words, or just the first round of Hangman? Every time I play it, I get a blank the first round, but it works fine after that.

No words at all. Ever.

I click on letters, build the man, then I get the message:
OOPS!
The correct words was:

PLAY AGAIN SUBMIT

Re: Arcde 47, Mac 0

I don't have the source code for most of the flash games. Nor do I have a mac to test with Sorry. All I can say is enjoy the ones that do work

Regarding hangman, I can't quite figure out why it loads the words file for some people and not others. I know that it was busted when I first uploaded it, and if you even peeked at it when I was working on it, you may have the broken version in your cache. But, other than that, no clue.

Upgrade your flash player to the latest version. That's the only suggestion I can make.

Amy

Re: Arcde 47, Mac 0

Hangman has started for me a couple of times with a score of 2, then when I get a word right, it goes to the true score of 1. Anyone else?

Re: Arcde 47, Mac 0

Earlier today I started Hangman with a score of -1. Winning a game got me to 0. At least I didn't go backwards.

Re: Arcde 47, Mac 0

If you close hangman without submitting your score, it could leave your cookie with an impure score on it. I'll try to figure that out at some point.

Re: Arcde 47, Mac 0

Whoo! Impure scores, eh? Do we have an arcade "confessional" to confess our "impure scores" in, Amy? - Just Kidding
