I thought I was doing really well in Chain Reaction...but alas...I scored a mere 1  :-[

Chain Reaction is a great game because it's always random.  You never know what score you'll get

You--you mean there..*stutters* there's.. TETRIS in that thar Arcade..?

*Slaps Face*

..No, I--I refuse to go there.. >:-{


Tetris ? :o

That's just too dangerous  ???

Luckily the weekend is nearly over ;)

I went in to the arcade last night, started playing mahjong, and the the door to get back to the threads started to close and I almost couldn't find my way back here.  :-\\

good idea, I'll just look for the shiny spinning ball, it'll be a beacon like a lighthouse is to a boat. The arcade has all those good old games for free. or is it really free??? there is always a price one has to pay.

I guess that means I've been sprung, hey Paul ?!  ;D

Hence why I refuse to play...

It all started with Tetris for  me!

I am the snake master! hissssssssssssssssssssss

I've also played Tetris and Breakout, and a couple of others. They are indeed highly addictive....

I was playing Break It for awhile, but it wasn't recording my score, so I found Collapse and it did. Those are the only 2 I've played so far. I know once I try a few more, I'll be addicted too!  :)

But how is Blix played, it is still a complete mystery to me.


The buttons on each side shift each horizontal line of squares left or right.  The object is to line up vertical matches of the same color squares.

Thanks, if I give a go now, I may not come out of the Arcade alive...

It all centres on the moves allowed.

Bah! When I go into the arcade, I go only with desire to beat one person... me!

It's about being realistic. I'm never gonna beat the Tetris high score or the Pac-Man high score... but as long as I beat MY best, i'm happy  :)

There are a few really sucky games in there like "Braniac" and "Skating Gamez". 

Ah yes. More "stuff" so we can never get away from this board. Thanks, Chucky.  ;D ;D ;D


(Yes, the games are addicting-just like this board)

I am announcing my retirement from Tetris  ;D

My score is so high, even I can't beat it  :\'(

I was never good at tetris-actually any game where I have to use the arrows, I just can't do very well.  This Cat works the mouse much better.  ;D





Cat

I just played three games of Tetris...couldn't get to 50,000 points :-\\

Some of the games are just impossible to play without any explanation (like Jewel). Something should be done about that.

On a different note: I noticed Waterboy (aka Chris) has taken up the Arcade games as well... ::) Does Erin know about this? ???

With 124615 on Jewels, I think I have mastered it.

Did you knock out my high score?

I think so, that round took over an hour of playing and I reached Level 52, but still could have carried on.

How do you actually play Jewels? I tried but couldn't figure it out. I got my score by clicking everything  ;D

And I see i'm still the snake master  ::)

You make three-of-the-kind of the jewels and the grouped jewels will be replaced.

Good luck!

Yawn. I'd rather play snake!  ;D

I told my mam she could play a few games of snake... and she didn't do very well... apparently it's "The controls"  ::)

Good luck!



Only made it up to level 16.  I'm going to keep trying.




Cat

I'm totally lost on that game! What's the object? I didn't see an explanation of how to play it.

You switch 2 jewels to form 3 of the same kind in a row.

Ok! I'll give it a try.

Some of those games sure do need instructions.  It took me a while to figure Jewel out

Yeah they do. Can someone tell me how to play snake?

You use the direcitonal buttons to move your snake in certain directions, and you have to collect the little spinning crosses. The quicker you collect them (The faster they're spinning) the more points you get, but for each one you collect, your snake grows one block in length

It's game over if you hit the walls or your snake crashes into itself

The three modes are:

Slug - Your snake goes slower, making it easier to manouvre, but the spinning crosses take longer to get to, meaning you get less points for them and therefore it takes longer to get to a high score

Worm - The easiest mode. Your snake goes at normal speed, meaning its moves reasonably quickly and you can get some decent points from the targets

Python - Are you nuts?! Your snake goes at ultra-high speed, meaning that if you can control it, you can get the maximum points from the targets... but this mode's for experts only

Thanks. I think I know why I had trouble-I was using the mouse. I hate those arrow keys. Oh well.

On tetris, does the level increase by score or by the number of lines?

Snake?? That's a game I had on my old cell phone! You could increase the level on it...but the higher the level, the faster the snake would move around.

I'm getting lonesome in the Triathalon game  :\'( 

I keep beating my own scores  ;D

The number of lines  ;)


Are there rules anywhere for some of these?


The rules are generally outlined when you click on the particular game you want to play  :)

I think I need to go to an Arcade Anonymous meeting!

OK, I found it and I like it.
ONce I get in that arcade, I'll never type again!
Mustt......get..........con.trol.....
can't ........get...........sucked.................in!

I can't be bothered with arcade today. I might have a couple of games later if I feel up to it

I played two games of breakout and scored about 0 each time  :-[

It is all down to practice.

It is all down to practice.


When I have my first game I do badly, then improve and improve

When I return I do okay, then I get better but then I get stuck at mediocre scores (If you have a look at the Snake highscore board you'll know what I mean)

For example - If I played Snake right now, I could guarantee a score of about 1,500. Then i'd end up getting something like 1,800 or maybe even beat my high score, but then the more games I play the worse I get, so after those first few games i'd end up getting scores between 1,000 and 1,400 every time...  :-\\

My time has come to finish in the Arcade, I feel brain-dead.

I"ve been playing Jewels, and at level 30 I just said forget it, it wouldn't end! I can't even see right now!!  :o

Yeah, that happens to me a lot. Especially when i've been playing tetris just before bed. I close my eyes and all I see is falling muticoloured blocks!  :D

No, it actually DOES end sometimes :-\\
There is a little technique I worked out, but my lips are sealed.

It's just. . . . .those shiney jewels, they just. . . . . mesmerized me  ;D 


In a while, let me get the high score first.

You already have the high score, don't you?

I just played one game of Tetris...and that was enough for me!! I reached level 29 and made 283 lines...my best ever!! And that's better than I ever did on the Game Boy version!! :D

I was fearing that my high score was going to be beaten.

I have a new high score on Snake...

Justin keeps beating my high scores, and I can't re-beat them  :\'(

Oh well.  Atleast I have Blix, Tetris and Triathalon conquered  ;D

EDIT:  Just re-claimed my Air Sk8ting title  ;D
