I think that a scrolling shooter type game would be nice, I also played one of those on an Invision Arcade last year, though it was a bit too slow and had no sound.

Side scroll or horizontal?

Or maybe I'll just do both... found a few, just gotta test and see which are best

I couldn't believe I even found Gauntlet last night

I just hope it works good

The one I'm referring to was vertical, but it would be nice to try a few different ones.

Gotta remember this is a pretty simplistic Flash arcade, so anything beyond basic old school stuff is unlikely, but I'm always on da lookout!

I like how we have a vertical-scrolling shooter now, but there might be even better ones out there that could work here. I think there's a Flash or Java-based version of Raiden II out there on Newgrounds or someplace. It's better written and more fun than the thing on here, and for that matter, doesn't spontaneously send you back to level 1 like this one does.

Can we add games from other sites, or are all the games here ones from some kind of free game repository? $:\$

Well, in order for the games to track high scores, they have to be specifically modded for the phpbb arcade (or even the ibproarcade) systems. I CAN put other games not modded, but they won't track scores...

Would the Dizzy games work on here?

So what does that involve, anyway? Altering one part of the game code?

Post by **Roemello** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 2:08 am

Altering a few things in it, yeah... which I could probably do if the games are editable with Flash 5... and if I can't, I can always have Ingrid give it a shot, but to do so, ya need the Flash source .fla to make the edit... there's no way to edit the actionscript on an .swf that I know of....

I wonder if we could find a version of Mahjong...

Ever see Dig Dug or Centipede?

Post by **Frong** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 12:46 am

Never played Dig Dug, though I've seen it in arcades many times before. I think I'm at least half decent at Centipede, anyway. In the end, I'm generally best at platformers, racing games, and vertical-scrolling shooters. Puzzle stuff like Jewels and maze-type stuff like Pac-Man, I'm not so hot at, and games where you can't directly kill any of the enemies piss me off. For Bob's sake, gimme magic or guns or something so I can blow stuff up.

Dig-Dug fits that category, actually, as does Burger Time in the arcade here. You can only kill the enemies by luring them under stuff and then dropping it on them, and then the freakin' things always just respawn anyway. Bloody wankers.
