Yes, it's been mentioned earlier in this thread. The high scores on games seem to be wiped out every 24 hours and replaced with the score that was second. It's happened to me and others several times.

Ok, I switched off auto-pruning for scores which was turned to daily. Let's see if this helps with keeping the scores steady.

I just wish you had have waited to put up the Arcade until AFTER my assignment was due!!!!! I'm addicted to Fun Fun Animals and Balloon Park. I cant play just one game...

Try turning off the sound. It's much less distracting that way and you can concentrate on what you see instead of a voice saying "click the colour, not the word" over and over again, lol

As annoying as that song is, it actually helps me focus.

Thats a good idea, I would probably still mess it up

Love the games

Yeah, I couldn`t work that out either. Thought it might drop when you miss too many but doesn`t seem that way. Keeps the adrenaline going tho!

Ya it does and I still can't help but panic a bit when it gets too close to the bottom.


Ok, are you taking suggestions for games? Theres one called Bloons and there are 2 different styles and several versions of each. I'd love to see some of them here if possible. I originally saw them on lazylaces.

That's one that I can keep track of because I actually play it (and won a tournament - woohoo!). Now, as far as I can see, it does/did reset the records for the current champion but retained the all time score for SillyJilly.

The only complaint I have, is that I got over 80,000 on Bubble Shooter (

) and it didn't save it

 

[sillyjilly]

I feel all special and stuff now!!

Because of arthritis in my hands that limits fast movement, I am enjoying the slower games.

There is something for everyone in the Arcade.

I drops based on missed shots,
also was you remove color sets, its drops more lines of 3 then i think 4 new rows at once.

 

[clixpix]

I have to say, I do not understand all the Bubble Shooter love. I tried that game once or twice, and it's alright, but...

My favorites are 8-Ball Championship (somebody just beat me, and I can't seem to get my title back

), and Gold Miner!

My only complaint is lack of sleep. There are nights (well, mornings, technically) when I don't go to bed until 4am!

 

[mews2much]

You are as bad as me. I stay on until 3 or 4 am playing the Games.

the 8-ball one looks like fun, but i can't get it to work for me... i think it must only be compatible with either Firefox or IE, neither of which i have on my laptop.

I havent got any sound here at work

I can concentrate better when i shout it out

When we become the champion of a game, we get a little icon above our join date.

That's really cool Anne.

Edit:
I lost my Brain Buster icon to a new champ.

So...when a new member wins the championship, we lose our little icons?
That's tragic.

PS...I just won it back.

I started a tournament before I knew how to do it.

8 Ball Champion Tournament Started on 03-28-2008

Are there tournament instructions?
