Okay, the Arcade is up and has a couple hundred games in it. Some are good and some are bound to be crap. If they are crappy let me know and I'll play it and then probably nuke it from orbit.

Oh man, I gotta play Space Invaders and Asteroids for like an hour each to recreate those old high scores.

I briefly had the Tetris high score before it got knocked down.

Damn you, General Specific! :angry:

Some of the games are stolen from other sites, like Viva Caligula. Is there legal problems that could arise from having those on the site?

Two things...First, is this game Adult Only? I must have missed it but looking at the name...

Second, this is a User Generated game from a vBulletin site. ALL games from there are supposed to be legal and able to be put on a public forum.

Time to play the game and see if it's going bye-bye.

Viva Caligula is from the Adult Swim website... and if you get all the weapons, it does unlock the Orgy Room (but considering it's Adult Swim, it's probably not explicit.) The Adult Swim splash page was edited out of the game to hide the source.

I'll look for any more that I know are stolen. I know the old Arcade set had Back Alley Surgeon, which is also from Adult Swim.

Edit: Here's some I think are probably stolen.

Lego Snowboard (Looks like it's from the Official Site)
Pandemic Version 2 (This is privately owned by someone else on another site. Not sure if he's OK with it being spread around.)
Resident Evil Apocalypse (Very clearly stolen from the movie website)

Damn it. And the game is not bad. Odd and a little easy but not bad.

Dunno why it's in there twice, though.

And I just added the ability to make Tournaments. Look for open tourneys and sign up.

There's like 4000+ games I have to choose from. I started at the beginning of the alphabet so it picked up all the slot games. Then I started to get more selective.

I like Burger Restaurant. Actually, it's the only one I've played. Actually, I am the only one who has played it and as such, I have the high score. I will probably only keep it if no one else continues to play it. :p

I like the mahjong games, except the Solitaire Mah-Jong, which is at such a weird angle it makes my brain attack itself in a desperate attempt to prevent further damage.

I tried playing the game called "Rage" but it just sat at the production credit screen and didn't move. It has some weird bar the followed my mouse, but otherwise did nothing.

Unless the point is to enrage the player because it won't load, I think this game is borked.

(*psst*) Right under the middle of the middle of the screen you see a link called "Play". It's invisible until you arrow over it. RAGE!!

Overflight

...after some effort, I managed first place in Find It.

There is something deeply wrong with me.

I missed your edits there. I'll be removing soem games in the next few days. I don't want to get sued. Now I am not sure whether or not to trust the source who says all their games are legal.

Truth be told, I'd be willing to bet all or nearly all of the games you got are actually stolen. It's just hard to prove it for them all.
