Arcade Bump

[FortyTwo]

Gee, I kinda forgot I'm supposed to be a member of staff. There's that whole arcade thing that has to be managed! Now seems like as good of a time as any to get this going again.

So, bring me up to date. Has anyone done any game-playing recently? Steadily playing, or lost interest? Remind me, what kind of games would you like to see?

 

[Rosie1]

Ruh roh, I haven't played in quite a while.

As far as other games: Othello, card games, Connect Four, Tic Tac Toe, Checkers, Uno, memory games. I don't know if you can get stuff like Crosswords, or Find-a-word type games.

 

[FortyTwo]

I'll be looking for more word games, then.

 

[Second Summer]

Would it make things more interesting if we reset the scores occasionally, like I used to do over on VB?

 

[KLS52]

The only game I can play semi-decently is Bejeweled, so there's only so much time I'm willing to devote to that. I'm just not good, which then translates into not interested in the others. I was hoping for a word game but I understand that there are limitations to the kinds of games that can be added.

 

[ledboots]

We need some old people games, 42!

 

[Second Summer]

42, I think they mean solitaire and crosswords.

 

[KLS52]

No Solitaire for me, please...a crossword would be nice or Bingo! Lol

Perhaps. All in favor?

As for "old people games," I can look into more word and puzzle games, certainly.

 

[Second Summer]

A bit of work, but you might want to consider having a thread where you post the current scores before you wipe and start over. That way the achievements won't be forever lost and forgotten.

 

[FortyTwo]

Hmm. Perhaps a monthly score clear and post?

I loved Scrabble as a kid... is it now considered to be an 'old people game'?

Words with Friends, don't ya know.

 

[Digger]

Words with Friends, don't ya know.

...or Scrabble for folks who don't want to call it Scrabble.

 

[FortyTwo]

...or Scrabble for folks who don't want to call it Scrabble.

Or, as it is known to Zynga, "it shits money!"

 

[FortyTwo]

Also, sorry! I keep forgetting to do this. One of these days I'll get to it.

In the meantime give me more suggestions!

 

[KLS52]

Uhhhh....you're dealing with "old" people here...there may not be much time...

 

[ledboots]

It's okay, everyone will just forget! Short- term, um, what?!

 

[FortyTwo]

Time for another bump!

In case IS didn't point it out already, we have a new version of the system, and it's vastly improved. Games can be added straight from the control panel now, and there is a huge variety of them!

Also, fear not, as the old high score system has been replaced with a leaderboard! Now you can play for a top spot without worrying about beating the pros.

On top of all this, a few new games have been added - go check them out!
