You really should try the Brasil Slingo. It requires zero skill and is all luck. It's the first tournament I tried.

Uhhhh.... Wiggi Woods seems to have gone a bit wiggy!
I got a high score (and worked my butt off for it. The score was 70-something I think, and probably about as high as you can get. I just got a notification that the score was beaten and the new score is 4550!!!! I'm not complaining about being beaten, but that scores seems kinda impossible!!!!

That's one of the ones I play regularly, but I haven't had much luck. I really like Fast Food Fiasco, and have gradually managed to improve my score.

Maybe I should play again but pretend to not know any places then I get a first place!
Yay!
Thanks for letting me know - I thought I had fixed all of the geography games, but this one escaped me. Just switched it, so I hope it's ok now.

I too was wondering how that score was possible. That is a fun game, but there is no way to get more than the 70-something that you mentioned. ???

I posted about a "high score" I supposedly got. It was actually a glitch that resulted from having multiple tabs open in Firefox--the score I earned on one game posted to the game that was in the last tab I opened. I wish there was a way to delete one's high scores.

ok, i'm very confused about the tournament i entered... we had 8 people, with the following scores showing: 8,961/10,946/8,639/7,385/9,736/10,544/10,598/10,082.
colors in green went on to the next round - colors in gray were eliminated.
does this make sense to anyone? if so, could you explain to me why a score of 8,639 beat a score of 10,082?

here's the tournament thread/posting/whatever it's called: 9 Dragons Hexa

It's an elimination tourney. The first two are paired, the second two are paired, and so on, and the winner of the pair goes on to the next round. There is a graphic here that demonstrates what I'm trying to explain:

You were paired with luvmycat1, and that person had a higher score and went on to the next round. valanhb was paired with rickyd. Since valanhb had the higher score of the pair, that person went on to the next round.

Marvins Speed cheats. Have you noticed that he'll switch the cards when you're going to play something but you can't switch the cards when he's going to play something. That's bull.

Wow - the games are a riot, I love them,
but I'm getting lost now trying to find the ones I liked a few weeks ago. And I am too stupid to figure out how to add them to my favorites. It says 'click the name of the game in the "list" to add it to your favorites' but which list is it? Sorry to be dense...

Great question....
On the Arcade's main page...
scroll down to Game Information.
That is where all of the games are listed in alphabetical order, with the game's title at the top of each game.

When you locate a game you want to save to Your Favorites, look within that game's information box, where you will see the link add to favorites .
Click that link, the game will be added to your favorites on the Arcade tool bar.

When you are ready to play, click Your Favorites, click the game you want to play and have fun.

See you in the arcade.

On my loooooong to-do list, I have a line that says "organize arcade games into groups for easier navigation". It will happen!

I would like that. Groups like "Shoot the bubbles" "pattern matching" "find the pairs" "word games" etc. Maybe if I get bored I'll try to see if I can classify them.

Hi, I am in a currently running Makos tournament. My second game of the 3 I'm allowed for this first level, I scored 47,000 plus points, hit submit score and I got a page not found as it tried to go to the newscore page. I wasn't sure about what to do, so tried to reload the page...then got a message that my score would not be saved.

I went back to play again and it now said I'd played two of my 3 games for this level - though my score was not recorded.

wah!
