What do you think, would the score attack forum benefit from a selection of online games (not unlike what was recently set up on bahn's new site?) Seems like a pretty nifty addon to the forums.

Sure, why not?
The same games or different? If they're different, that'd be cool.
Probably different, yeah...
As long as it has Asteroids, I'm there.
I found a forum with practically every game possible (legal or not) installed:

You should be pretty careful with what you put up, since there's a lot of crap out there. It also seems that less games an arcade has, the healthier it is. Probably because competition is limited to a small number of games: Sure bets are:
Asteroids
Araknoid
Pac-Man
Tetris
Snake
Why? You suck at it.Quote:

Sounds like a cool idea. Go for it.
I'll kick all of your asses.
I was about to say that... Easily the best game at GN.Quote:

Assuming Joust doesn't suck, I want it.Quote:

Someone explain what he's talking about, I don't feel like finding the url to this new site and hunting around.
Flash games that are tied to the forum. Automated score table in the board, etc.
Stuff you Potter!Quote:

Actually, in addition to here, I'd like to see it a front-page link on the sidebar as well, assuming we do it. I can't be the only one who still comes in here via the front page, can I?

Yeah, that's the idea... If I do this, I'm going to totally contain it into this forum so there's not really any links outside of here, kind of like how Melf's trader feedback system is contained only within the Trade Depot forums.Quote:

(edit: hah, I bet that the trader feedback system is news to some of you. :chick: )
Yes, and make sure to get bombjack so I can extend my kingdom to another forum!!
Well the games are the only reason I go to GN, so yes, you'd be saving me some time. Just be sure to get that helicopter game.
I'm all for it.
I used to visit a similar arcade, and that was a lot of fun to have on the forums, so yeah, I'm definitely all for one going up here!
Just so long as the "awards" for having the highest score etc aren't annoyingly scrolling across every post a person makes. A simple icon would be fine.
Would this thing include PGR2?
Alright, I guess I'll set it up later on tonight/early in the morning when board traffic is at its minimum.
If you figure a way to prevent people from having mutlitple scores in the score list then do it. Nothing's more annoying then seeing the same guy taking up 8 of the top 10 spots with the same retarded comment each time.
I'll look at the code for it...
Okay boyos, it's alive with the default slew of games. Coming soon - a handful more!
edit: and it's configured to only use the TNL Default theme, as I'm not in the mood to edit 30,000 templates. :chick:
113870 on Asteroids, w00t!
If you beat your top score, it keeps your old comment instead of your new one.
Nice to see it only keeps your top score though.
You're evil.Quote:

It keeps the same length and time, too. But when you finish a game, and it asks you to enter a comment, you see the original listing, with more than one entry per person.Quote:

I was kicking ass in space invaders, and the game reset.
Weak.
