Hey folks,
I'm in the process of re-installing the arcade titles - it's going to take quite a bit of time to get it all right, but I'm thinking everyone can help. I've turned off all costs on the games so you can play and test at your leisure. Report back here when a game ISN'T KEEPING SCORE or ISN'T SIZED PROPERLY. Don't tell me about bugs in the game, there isn't anything I can do about that!
Remember that there are several pages of games, over 170 in all!

Have fun and please post your results here.

Wow that's nice man,i'm off to the arcade,see you guys on the 13th!! :P
Sweet.
Hmm, some of the games won't let you save your score. You get a message about not linking to them.

Yeah, that's why I posted what I posted up above. Please give me the details so I can work them out, thanks.

I played Mahjong Connect just now, and it won't submit my score. It gave me the screen to submit it, and I hit the submit button, but nothing happened. The screen didn't refresh, no error message was given.

OK, one of the settings on that game was wrong. Let me know if that happens again with this or any others. Thanks!
Ok, Frogger won't let me save my score. I get the "do not link to these games" message. :(

That might be the old "timeout" issue. If you were set to auto-login to the forums (that little checkbox you can click when you first sign in), it saves your score despite that message.
As you can see, you have the high score for Frogger.

Everthing has been reset. Time to grab 'em all again! Good news is you won't have me to compete with too much anymore so someone gets to be a legitimate "trophy king".
The bonuses are turned off for now, until some decent high scores are set on all the games. I also need to input the game descriptions all over again - not looking forward to that. After that everything should pretty much go back to normal.

Kaboom! (The Activision version) did the thing where it said the usual thing about linking. I played it twice and the same thing happened both times. I didn't even get a chance to hit the submit button, it switched to that screen quickly by itself after the games.

Is it me, or do all the game names appear a bit weird? Some are spelt wrongly,and they all have a question mark before and after them
Swingball also didn't load for me, screen just went blank. And Typing Master isn't saving scores (Saves all scores as zero)
So are all the games which were there before back? Or have you also added new ones, or taken a few away?

I don't know of anny games being "spelt wrongly" :) so point them out if you feel that is so. However, the odd characters you see before and after the titles are a product of our server reset - they just need to be swapped over, that will happen soon enough.
Swingball also didn't load for me, screen just went blank. And Typing Master isn't saving scores (Saves all scores as zero)
I'll check into Swingball, though it seems that's a problem on your machine (I see others with socres already logged into it). Typing Master scoring was turned off since there's a low limit and it makes no sense. We had 25 users with the max socre before the system went down last week.
So are all the games which were there before back? Or have you also added new ones, or taken a few away?
Every game that was there before is there now PLUS almost 30 new ones.
Enjoy.

I guess Free Play Day is over...I just tried to play a game and was told I didn't have enough meseta to play. No problem...one or two posts and I've got some DP tokens in my pocket :D
Added Note: After writing the above, I wound up with 11 meseta...but when I click on a game to play, it still says I don't have enough to play. Curious...
I can't even access it. Every time I've gone (well, today and yesterday) I get this error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 184320 bytes) in /var/www/html/forum/amod_files/activity_info.php on line 239
I'm using Firefox if that matters.

The arcade is broken. I don't know what's wrong with it. I'll look into it later tonight. Sorry.
