I've been doing pretty good in "Bubble Shooter". I managed to get to 222,000 and had a blue bubble to shoot and another blue one following that one. I had a large number of blue bubbles close to the bottom of the screen, so that blue one I was going to shoot would have cleared a good portion of the bottom of the screen and allow me to continue.

I shot the blue bubble, and imagine my surprise when I saw that it changed to yellow when it arrived at it's destination! Game over!!
If it had stayed blue I would have been able to keep going

It's still fun to play.

I had a problem as well. I entered the word it was looking for, but the round instantly ended (I had plenty of time left) and it subtracted almost 5,000 points from my score.

That was REAL close.
I didn't think I was going to pull that out.

I've won some, but I have lost plenty as well.
As soon as I get eliminated, I start another tournament.

I had never played a computer game until TCS's arcade....
even though I lose most of the time, it really fun.

If you want to get your feet wet in a tourney, Brasil Slingo is pure luck.
No skill required.

Come and join us in the Arcade...
the more the merrier.


You can just goof around with the games on your own too...
careful though....
it's addictive.

If you go to the tournament page it will show the ones your in, in bold. Click on View Tournament and it will show the branches of the tournament. Under your name will be a "play" link.

You also get notified when you are advanced or disqualified.
Kool!

I wonder what I shall mostly be doing in my spare time now

That game is so addicting. If I lose it's no big deal either.

I LOVE the TCS arcade! Shame on me too - like I dont have enough insomia - LOL

I have played in 2 tourneys and won 1. I think I am currently enrolled and waiting in 3 others though...

I like to check on the on the tourneys - it's the best way to find the most addicting games!
