Subject: Games Week 5, begins with R, tastes like chicken!

Written By: ChuckyG on 03/19/07 at 2:11 pm

There's a whole heck of a lot of new games up there.

I also fixed the bug that was keeping RedAnt from his game editing duties, so I'm sure thumbnails will be coming along soon.

Ratshooter appears to be broken.  I don't know how to get it going?

we already have radial snake, rapid shot seems broken, ratman seems broken, reaction game is not really a game,  reaction pal is chain reaction, reaktoribpa seems busted.

No kidding. It looks like at least 120 new games came with this update.

Thanks for fixing the editing bug. There's 300 or so games w/o thumbnails, and another 100 or so that can be improved.

It'll be a while getting all that done. I'm also doing short descriptions for every game, which means playing them to know what they are about.

If you could do like Q, X, or Z games next Monday, that would be great. It'll probably take me at least until then to update/check what is already here.  ;)

When I try to submit a score on Master of the Lawn, I get this message:

Reaction Game is stupid. 
A - it has reverse scoring
B - The lowest score is the best score, and the faster you complete it, the better score you get, which means everyone gets a score of zero

I was playing fourballs and got a score of 159 It did not take the score and I didn't see a submit button.

Scoring has been set to reverse.

I played it.  ::)

It is kinda lame since it doesn't display decimal points. Gone.

I've set a few others to reverse scoring as well. I had to wipe the worst score to get the high scores for those games to order properly.

The Rshot dupes are gone. Rshot4 is tough!

I'm working by page now it'll be a while before I get to the rest of the R games. If they are broken, dupes, or have backward scoring, let me know and I'll fix em.

It is yes, but it's surprisingly easier than original RShot

Without finding out by going to the arcade, does that have to do with Wacko Jacko?

Maybe there's little kids on the higher levels...but I'm not willing to find out.

The thumbnails are 100% done now. The old pixelated ones have been fixed as well. 90% or so of the games no longer have STE, GC, IBPAG, etc. in the title - they too have been cleaned up.  Most of the games that were broken, backward scored, duplicates etc. have been fixed or removed.

Descriptions are maybe 40% done - they were sucking up too much time since writing them meant playing every game. They'll be added when I get some more free time.

Chucky, if you could still make this Monday's update a "weak" letter, like Q, X, or Z (i.e., probably not a lot of games), that would be great. Many of the R games were still unplayed before I tested them out.

PS: Any more Break-Out, Tetris and Mah Jong games are going to be deleted unless they really rock - there's like 20 of each in the arcade already.

There are wayy too many Mahjongg and Breakout games

The only decent Breakout games are Star Ball MP, and that one that Bobo beat me at, to which I cannot think of the name.  I just remember it took me nearly an hour, and one hell of a numb hand to get the score that I did.  lol
