T2W Arcade

[donaldduke]

Others are fine, it only happens after i finish a game of snake,
not a big problem really..

 

[Sharky]

Are you using the latest version of IE, because I believe you might have problems with other browsers?

 

[donaldduke]

Im using IE 6, it seems intermittent, actually only happens
after a playing snakes more than once in one browser session..

Didnt stop me from getting 40!!

How do you get to the arcade, other than via the link on this thread?

[Sharky]

Good question! At the moment you can't - I could add it as a link from the Community menu perhaps. Don't want to go overboard and slap it on the front page, people might start to think it's a gaming site.

 

[bonsai]

sounds to me as though it might fit with the competitions.

lol

 

[options]

Any chance of adding Mahjong?

 

[Sharky]

Bonsai, good idea. I'll add it later today.

Options, I'm afriad not - it's not available. But do keep requesting your favourites.

I'll be adding a new game every weekend, starting with Asteriods this Saturday.

 

[Sharky]

Link now added to the Competitions drop down menu at the top of every page.

The current top scores are:

Breakout - Lard42 (8,460)
Pacman - sidinuk (27,010)
Snake - sidinuk (192)
Space Invaders - hjk (14,520)
Tetris - anmolway (246,271!)

Think those current top scores need to be updated! :cheesy:

Any chance of 'Defender' going on?

great stuff!

 

[bonsai]

quite amazing !

Sharky, I think you may have a winner with this.

feels like the sea front at Blackpool.

Asteroids - what a classic, who's ready for hyperspace?

My fingers are sore and my keyboards warn out. A TTW poker room would be fun.

 

[donaldduke]

Poker room reminds me of some floor traders in chicago, after
a hard day on the floor they go to casinos after work because
they need continue the rush they get from trading (gambling?) all
day..

Hi guys. I just thought id post a screen shot taken
today. It was taken in realtime to stop any doubters
from kicking off. U can see here that its sometimes
best to wait for your move and be patient. There really wasn't
much risk here, 'cos as you can see i gave a lot of room for any 'wiggle'.
I do offer coaching but not for a while due to
other commitments.

I hope people can learn from my example.

There's a bug in 'Breakout' ! Prevented me from getting a massive score.

In a couple of the '5 bricks-only' levels (e.g. level 23) one of the bricks is impossible to break, the ball goes right through it however many times you 'hit' it. So you can only sit and bounce the ball around ad infinitum. Losing a life seems to fix it......


On another note:
Wot? Still no 'Defender'?

 

[rossored]

Further game suggestions if I may:

Spy Hunter (i loved that)
Missile Command (I think it was called that - played with a big rollerball?? does anyone know what I'm talking about??)
Pheonix (superb!)
Commando

What about some 'sniper type shooter games' dont know the names though.

 

[bonsai]

hate to spoil the fun but how about a really good trading game ?
with accumulated trading funds attached.
(stocks/indices or fx , but not commodities)

good practice for all standards of traders.

as fast as you like for the 326 trades a day guys.

 

[options]

Only 326?

That's the first couple of hours taken care of. What about the rest of the day?

Sharky. I have to say this is about the best/worst addition you have come up with. It's got me hooked, and I'm rubbish at these games.

This is a serious test of trading discipline not to turn the games on in quiet moments.
