MemberThe arcade is open again, although it hasn’t been tested extensively. We need YOU to help us test things — just let us know if you discover any bugs!
If you like games, give it a try! You’ll find the link in the Community menu.
We’ve even setup an 8-player tournament for Ron North’s Jewels (a Bejeweled clone).

ParticipantSo I tried playing breakout choosing the keyboard option before I realized I had hit the mouse option so managed to get an amazing score of 0….. Well I tried playing again to make my score better and I managed to get a little more than 2000 except my score didn’t save since: Your score won’t be stored in Database because the Arcade only saves users top score per Game.
So I found it funny that it considers my 0 a top score!
Other than that, it’s great. π

That is weird. I have changed the settings to keep all your scores, but be warned that the scores are pruned on a rolling 30 day calendar. Any scores earned over 30 days ago automatically get pruned from the database. This keeps someone from getting a ridiculously high score that is nearly impossible to ever beat.

You can, but you’ll have to earn it (again) every 30 days. π

ParticipantWe don’t get little trophy’s next to our names anymore when we hit a high score? I always liked that feature.
Also, there used to be an option to make some game windows larger/smaller. I liked that feature too, Chopper Challenge seems too small now.
Otherwise everything seems fine so far, I’ve only played two games though π

ParticipantI still wanna keep my high score forever – not lose it every 30 days π

Actually, I’ll see if I can add this in. Thanks for the nudge.@Dr Kimble 236277 wrote:

I’ll have to look into that one. Not sure if it’s configurable or not in the new arcade.@Dr Kimble 236277 wrote:
