I think bubble bobble keeps bugging quite a lot, the bubbles fly oddly and sometimes I get killed without touching anything. One time the game even crashed when I lost a life leaving the dragon stuck.

Taluntain · Fri, 18th Jul '08, 9:14pm

That's the "random luck" feature.

Vhailor · Sat, 19th Jul '08, 12:01am

I like the Cutie Quake game. Any chance you will be adding some more?

Taluntain · Sat, 19th Jul '08, 12:31am

Yea, I'll probably add a few new ones every week, so keep checking back.

Blackthorne TA · Sat, 19th Jul '08, 3:19am

I don't get the Cutie Quake... Sometimes after ~50 shots the gun won't fire any more, but there are times when I've shot over 70 rounds... What gives?

I don't know how many times have you missed when this happened?

Blackthorne TA · Sat, 19th Jul '08, 4:02am

Not many as far as I know... My accuracy wasn't that bad.

Boy at a busstop · Sat, 19th Jul '08, 8:48pm

Yeah, I've noticed the random gun malfunction as well. It happened to me twice now, I think it happens after too many misfires or shooting too fast.

Oh btw, BTA: I challenge you to a game of pinball!

To be honest, 7up pinball is pretty lame, I've seen better ones, but it's still cool to have on the site.

Aikanaro · Sun, 20th Jul '08, 2:36pm

Moon Lander is nearly a good game - but argh - repitition. It's pretty easy when you've got the hang of it.

Decados · Sun, 20th Jul '08, 6:04pm

Gah, so many games! To think I was once second on the leaderboard- I don't think I'll be reaching such dizzying heights for quite some time (if ever again).

Is anyone else having a problem with Cutie Quake not saving their score? The last two times I tried to submit score, it gave me a message that my score will not be submitted. And then the score was gone.

Taluntain · Sun, 20th Jul '08, 6:19pm

This seems to be a common issue with the arcade but no one knows all the exact cause(s) why it happens. A few general pointers on how to avoid it are:

Tick the "Remember me" box when you log in
Don't use the refresh or back buttons in your browser to start a new game
Only play 1 game at a time (don't have more than 1 game open in browser tabs)

Aside from the notice you mentioned, do you see any other errors when this happens?

Decados · Sun, 20th Jul '08, 9:30pm

No, that was the only message I received. However, it is possible that I would have used the back button, rather than using the link. I guess that'd explain why it decided not to allow some scores.

Anyway, would be nice if there were more strategy-based games and less grinding or twitch games.

martaug · Mon, 21st Jul '08, 8:21pm

hey tal how long does the tic-tac-toe go on? i'm at 150 games & no end in sight.

Taluntain · Mon, 21st Jul '08, 8:39pm

You can finish it at any time by clicking on the "tic-tac-toe" title on top of the game area.

martaug · Mon, 21st Jul '08, 8:51pm

thanks didn't think to do that

Taluntain · Mon, 21st Jul '08, 10:44pm

It's not exactly obvious, took me a while to figure it out too.

dmc · Mon, 21st Jul '08, 11:11pm

I think Tic-Tac-Toe should go. The machine "AI" is not and it's really nothing more than a test of masochism to see how long you can keep slauthering the machine (except for the very rare tie). I figured I'd just go for 125 wins and the computer only tied me 16 times in that time period. Lame.

Taluntain · Mon, 21st Jul '08, 11:17pm

That's probably on purpose, because otherwise the AI would always either tie or win... and that wouldn't be much fun to play.

Taluntain · Wed, 23rd Jul '08, 6:40pm

I've removed the 7up pinball since the flippers didn't work properly... you get 2 new games instead.

It gets very difficult to take off without smashing into the rocks above as the gravity increases enough. It's not too bad landing, but not easy either.

Very repetitive though, yes.

Damn you, that was my highscore!

To be honest, the other pinball isn't that great either, I suppose chances for Adams Family Gold are slim?

Taluntain · Fri, 25th Jul '08, 3:00pm

There's a lot of junk to sort through with these games and good ones that work with our arcade aren't overly plentiful... but I'll keep looking.

Blackthorne TA · Tue, 29th Jul '08, 4:53pm

Destroy All Humans has the wrong scoring. Is there a way to make the lower score better? Or maybe subtract the actual timer score from 10000 or somesuch? As it is it makes no sense. Whoever can sit around the longest not capturing humans is the leader.

Love the alien's cackle when he picks up a human though! Priceless!

Taluntain · Tue, 29th Jul '08, 7:49pm

Fixed.

Time alone isn't the only thing impacting the score, apparently.
