Don't Plotz When You See the Arcade

[amykhar]

I just upgraded the arcade, but haven't reinstalled all the games we have. Yes, all the high scores are gone; so you'll have to go win back your records.

But, the updated version allows tournament play AND offers many, many more games.

Thanks for doing this while I was in the middle of a game of Alchemy. No problem, though. Just had my best-ever score of 174,000 which would have been good for fourth or fifth on the rankings. All flushed away with a "Blahblahblah SQL Error Blah blah blah" when I tried to record it. 174,000. BEST EVER!!! But don't worry. I'll get over it. Really. I will.


AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!

!tragedy

I am SO sorry, Brian. I had hoped that I would be able to keep the scores, but it wasn't to be.

Oy. And I'd just wrested my typing title back from George. Oh well, I needed an excuse to go back anyway.

[amykhar]

I'm installing tons of new games this morning. Some of them are really good. Enjoy.

Note that you can mark your favorite games now.

Wow! Really?! I have to try it out!

[amykhar]

Everybody, Please tell me your favorite games from the old arcade so that I can reinstall the good ones. I don't want to put back the duds.

Tetris
Pacman
ron's jewels

to name a few

[phoenixx]

the jewel thing, hangman, the ones you've already put back (tetris, etc), the cow thing, othello, alchemy, probably more but names are not coming to me right now. I love the arcade-style shoot-em up and driving games (pedestrian killer) but have a hard time playing them with my cordless mouse at home for some reason, otherwise I'd play them more often

Can we get xwords or scrabble to play against each other????? we could have tons of fun with those!!!! Of course they probably suck bandwidth like nobody's business......

BTW Amy, you rock - thanks for the updates, upgrades and all the time you spend on this site!!!!

[pippadaisy[$]]

Ron's Jewels, Plops, Hangman

Phoenixx, I have the same problem with some of them with my cordless. It took me FOREVER to get the record in Equilibrium because the tightrope kept "sticking."

[Redlass]

Othello, Alchemy, Donkey Kong, Snake, Pacman

ALCHEMY

[amykhar]

ok. Let me figure out how to install the old-style games and I'll get right on it.

I cannot figure it out

[amykhar]

I'll mess with it in a sec and let you know how to use it.

BTW, go play with alchemy and make sure it works ok before I start installing the others, please.

[amykhar]

OK. It's easy. On the list of games, click the game's NAME. Not the icon and not the link to play. Just the name. That will add it to your favorites.

Amy, thanks for working on all this, but...

Please feed Duchess!!!!

[amykhar]

I put in bejewelled. Is Ron's Jewels different enough that I should add it back as well?
