Default Introducing... The Talking Poker ARCADE!

Bored? Running badly? Tilting? Spend some time in the !

Just click on in the main menu bar. We currently have the following nine games to choose from:

Asteroids
Space Invaders
Pacman
Tetris
Snake
Simon
Hexxagon
Breakout
Moon Lander

Wooohooo! Anyone with at least 5 posts can play and people with over 1000 posts have the ability to create tournaments.

I have yet to play a game yet, so please post here if you find any bugs in the arcade. Once I confirm things are running smoothly, I'd be happy to take requests for new games, etc... We now literally have the ability to host hundreds and possibly even thousands of games!

Oh, an BTW - I will gladly school ANY of you in Tetris. I just played a game of Asteroids (ahhh, memories) and it looks like everything works - the high scores updated properly and so on.

I'm going to keep playing around for a bit, but I'll let you guys go ahead and play Tetris first. Give me something to shoot for, cause once I play, you won't be seeing your names on the Tetris High Score list ever again.

OK, so Space Invaders kind of sucks.

In the Atari 2600 days, I remember it eventually getting impossibly hard. Well, this version seems to stall out at some point, so after playing what I think was the same level 50ish times and still being able to kill all the aliens before a single one hit the right side of the screen, I got my score to an even 200,000 and then started killing myself. I had so many lives, this actually took a while, but finally finished myself off.

My hands hurt. No more Space Invaders for me!

At first, I thought the high score icons in our post headers were annoying and I was going to remove them, but I kind of like them now. They default to a scrolling marquee that says "Asteroids Champion" (for example), but I changed it to show only the icon for the game, which I think is cool.

Seems the arcade is running fairly smoothly so far.

Besides the famous, "Pacman" my 2nd favorite was "Donkey Kong" & I was rather good at "Tetris"!

Nice addition...

I found a bug... I was playing pacman on a pc (not my normal one) and didn't have the "remember me" thing clicked (again, not my normal pc). I scored pretty good, but when the game was over it spewed sql errors - I believe my session timed out during the game and it couldn't update the score correctly.

I'll play again when I get home..

I set the high score for Tetris the first time I played, but it didn't update. I think it was because I didn't click "OK" though - I didn't get an SQL error.

I don't think your "bug" can be fixed either... that's probably just how it works. I dunno.

BTW - someone beat my Tetris score, please. I need something to shoot for.

Did you know that if you click on anyone's "game icon", it brings you directly to that game.

Seems that the phrase I used in one game, keeps coming up in the others. In my 18k high score for tetris, I didn't add any phrase, but yet it picked up an old one from another game or maybe this one.

Default Click on 2nd page...

I'm 14th! (18k)

I never typed any phrase in the blank space provided.

I'm a little rusty, haven't played this in a long time and never on a computer using keys. (I prefer the joystick) In some games, such as Pacman, a joystick is much better than computer keys.

Will have one more game of tetris and then I'm off... for a weekend of R & R.

Have a good weekend, everyone.

ps. You definitely must now add a "frustrated" smiley. (for game... stress purposes only)

I prefer the red one (cussing).

I notice that where the games are listed there's an area for game rating, but I don't see anywhere that you can rate the games, is this something to be added later or am I being blind?

Once I get used to only being able to rotate the blocks one direction and the stupid blocks sticking as soon as they touch instead of being able to move them (like moving them under an overhang)...then I'll be fine.

That is a fine question - I don't know. I'll have to look into this.

Tell me about it. My problem is that I'd prefer they rotate in the OTHER direction. And they don't stick quite as badly as you are saying (you can get them under the overhangs), but they do seem to stick faster than they should.

It also seems that the fgame is especially cruel - you can build up a perfectly filled in wall all the way to the top without getting a freaking straight piece, but I've also had 4 or 5 of them in the span of 6 shapes before.

Thanks for beating my high score. I'll reclaim it later today.

Yeah, it's not awful. But it's definitely a faster stick than the trust TI-83+ Tetris calculator game I honed my skills on.

On the "Your Rankings" page,
on the right it lists your number of "Top Ten Finishes:".
Mine says 5 it should be 7.
When does it refresh its numbers ? If dynamically, it is broken.
