I am backing up our website files over the weekend, then I will attempt to install an Arcade for our forum.  Games like duck hunt, asteroids, etc.

Hopefully it will liven the place up a bit.

Haha. We could play pac-man while waiting for messages!
Gives me a few ideas actually..

As far as arcade goes, give me Mortal Kombat, and I'l be set for hours!

Or even Super Metroid, or perhaps some FPS games? :D

This is super cool.

I hope it isn't a bandwidth eater.

Err, these games are more like Frogger  ;)

Here is a list of games--if you spot one you like, let me know what gamepack to grab:

These are all flash games.  I talked to the website guru JediKiller, and these game should not eat up webhost resources.

Yay!  :) Can we set a poll to see what game pack the community wants? I also noticed pack 16 has a star wars game.

EDIT: I like game pack 2 the best. pack 16 is runner up

Neato. Found a couple.

Gamepack 13:     
[spoiler]Air Fox           
Air War           
Ameriman         
Amira             
Asteriods        
Breakout          
Cheetah Race      [/spoiler]
                 
Gamepack 16:     
[spoiler]Seconds of Madness
Simon             
Simpsons         
Slots             
Smack The Rabbit 
Snake             
Snow Paul         
Space Hunter     
Squid hunter     
Star Wars         
Star Fall         
Target Shoot     
Tetris           
Top Banana       
Video Poker       
Xmas Boarding[/spoiler]

If I had to go with just one pack, then it would have to be 16, because Star Wars.

clear vision was a fun flash game series I used to only play flash games until I got into real games

These is what I will tentatively upload:

1
2
6
13
16
18*
22

*note sure if I can get this one to work; it is phpbb format, dunno about that

I may not activate all the games in the packs, but we can certainly get ones we want.


The arcade installed fine on my test forum, but had some issue on this one.  Jedikiller has graciously offered to help us out in getting it installed.   :cheers:

This sounds awesome! Of course I would love anything Star Wars or space related.  8)

hmmm
What format do the games use? (like besides the script that loads them. Are they in something like SWF?)

Nice to see new things coming to the site but I already spend most my evening here, what will I do now? :)
I play less now but I'll always be around, lets keep this site and battlefront going. :)

Maybe I'm being impatient but when do you think the arcade will be released? Sorry if I am but I'm kinda curious. ;)

The installation did not go smoothly.  It will take a php script expert (JediKiller) to get it going.  It worked like a charm on my test forum, but we apparently have something that conflicts with it.

JK said he will give it a shot soon.
