Arcade

[Cooler]

Ok folks another new section for you Arcade (http://www.martialartsplanet.com/forums/proarcade.php?action=arcade&session=&game=). Just a little bit of fun so get in there and add your high scores :D Unfortunately there seems to be issues with browsers other than Internet Explorer stopping your high scores being logged which we cant resolve at the moment, our apologies to anyone not using IE.

You have to be a registered member to play the arcade games.

Thanx a bunch,

[hongkongfuey]

I'd like to add that if anyone can find any decent Flash martial arts games then I'll have a go at adding them.

[Cain]

There are a few at http://www.newgrounds.com look for fighting games section

Be alert for p**n though ;)

Fantastic Cain - I like the sound of :

BAD DUDES VS BIN LADEN, SAMURAI ******* and CHAMPIONSHIP **** FIGHTER.

Maybe not very PC though!

[khafra]

http://www.spiritonin.com/capoeirafighter/ Capoeira fighter is a pretty good flash MA game.

Hehe, I see where you are getting at but you could try including some of the better stuff like the silat games or the tower of death ones which you might prefer...

|Cain|

[Chazz]

Jack

Great add to the site. I like it a lot

[hongkongfuey]

Cain,

the Silat game might hit the site sooner than you think! Not seen the tower of death yet though.

James

[Saz]

Great Idea! I love it, but I think I'm going to develop a Space Invaders addication again :(

[Chazz]

Soooo i cant get away from tetris. Sorry if my name gets on there A LOT.

That's great to know!

Good work guys n thanx :D

|Cain|

[Jim]

Oh great - now I'll DEFINATELY lose my job...

[Sweeet]

Damn!!! I got 225 at Snake, and it gives me a 404 error! WTF!

I would be #1... :'(

Edit: Browser problem... works fine in IE6. Mozilla doesn't like vBulletin, apparently...

[Chazz]

GRRRRR i cant get to be #1 in tetris

[Cain]

I am in the top 5 :D

Unless someone countered me :(

|Cain|

[YODA]

What can I say?

Space Invaders champeeeeeeeeon :D

[hongkongfuey]

You still are no#1 with your other score. I think Jack's first post should be read "Only works with Internet Explorer" - Mozilla is based on Netscape code (or the other way round, depending on how you view these things).

This is a fault with the software that runs the Arcade, which is still in beta testing. The author is hopeful that this can be fixed in the final version. We did feel that it was better to have in it's present form than wait an unknown number of months for a final version.

[hongkongfuey]

Space Invaders champeeeeeeeeon

Yoda - you da man! Now, what about those other games?

[Cain]

Also incompatible with opera...

No supprise there- Opera & Netscape are both built on Mozilla.

[Tintin]

Yoda, gonna take you down on space invaders.
Just as soon as I can be bothered! :woo:

[YODA]

Go for it dude! :D

[hongkongfuey]

Yoda, gonna take you down on space invaders.

given up on the #1 slot for Tetris then? ;)

[YODA]

Tetris sux :D

[Tintin]

Never been a big fan of tetris, but I'll have the number 1 slot soon just for completeness. My onslaught to unify the titles shall soon begin.

Bwa ha ha ha ha!!!

[hongkongfuey]

I'll have the number 1 slot soon just for completeness

Completeness? How about just trying to take one of my titles?

I only let Yoda win at Space Invadors because he is 'nails' and only 90 minutes drive away from where I live!

[Tintin]

Thats one down....

[Tintin]

oops, there goes space invaders...

[Cooler]

Go Tintin lol this could get interesting :D

Cooler

[YODA]

Nooooooooooooooo.....................

:woo: :woo:

Right - that's it - time to open a can 'o whup ass on them pesky aliens!!!!

:woo: :woo:

Better get some beer & nibbles in - gonna be a long weekend.

:woo: :woo:

[hongkongfuey]

Tintin - 2 out of 5 - could try harder.

[Tintin]

hongkongfuey - 3 out of 5 - the soon to be retired champ is on the ropes.....

[hongkongfuey]

Tintin - do you want another few days before I take my full complement back, or can you defend your title's as well as attack mine? I'll hold off if you are worried.

[YODA]

Into him HKF! :D

[hongkongfuey]

Yoda - you take space invaders. I'll take pacman.

[YODA]

Roger Wilco :D

[hongkongfuey]

the soon to be retired champ is on the ropes

I don't believe it - Balboa is getting up.

[YODA]

Hehe

Hehehehe

Heheheheheeheheeeeee

Mission accomplished :D

[YODA]

Asteroids is coming?

Wahooooooo - now I'm NEVER gonna get these website designed!

[hongkongfuey]

Top result Yoda. But who want's to be king of Asteroids?

[YODA]

Me me me me me me............ :D

[hongkongfuey]

I've also put up a roulette game for Tintin, who obviously can't keep up with the lightning reflexes of You, me, and the new king of Asteroids.........

Mr Andy Murray.

[Andy Murray]

Remind me James/Dave.

What did we used to put in the original Arcade machines?

Was it 10p, 5p or even less?

[YODA]

IIRC it was 10p for the likes of Space Invaders and Asteroids and 20p when the new fangled hi-tech stuff like Pacman came out :D

[Saz]

I remember playing Street Fighter 2 in the local arcade when I was about 12, it was only about 20p a go... Happy days :D

[hongkongfuey]

I remember a game called Darius in about 1988 - underwater shootemup accross 3 screens. First game at £1 a go - outrageous.

I think we need a 'best classic game of all time' poll. Any suggestions on what should be in it? My top 10 (not in order)would be :

Lunar Lander
Defender (Williams)
Moon Patrol (mainly for the funky music)
Scramble
Frogger
Tetris
Outrun
Donkey Kong
1942
Hyper Sports

Or MA related games:
Karate Champ (still the best)
Shinobi
Street Fighter (1!)
Double Dragon
Rygar

[Cain]

Ya I want MA related games so at least I can at least kick b***s in a game :D

|Cain|

[hongkongfuey]

Cain,

calm down old chap! MA games are coming, although they will not be linked to the high score table at first. Also coming very soon is a strategy game similar to othello and a top down space shooter game.

My post was just asking about the top arcade games of all time - do you have one?

[YODA]

Don't forget that Tank game- can't remember the name. Made of green straight lines where you shot at things as they appeared on the horizon - you had two handles to pull & push to manoeuvre.

[hongkongfuey]

Yoda - Battlezone - top call.

Hexagon is now there for all the intellectuals on the site.

[Cain]

Ok, I am calm :D

well, dunno about a top ten list but there was this game I remember from the oldies, not sure if anyone remembers it, it was called something like spartan or something....a side scrolling game, I used to play it on the video game machines...

|Cain|

[Tintin]

I remember the piles of 10p's you used to take to the arcades. Unfortunately in those days a 10 pence coin was about the size of a wagon wheel!

Some of the classics I'd have to add would be:

Rampage
Chase HQ
Afterburner


And MA related:

Kung Fu master
King of boxer
Yie ar kung fu (don't know if this made the arcades or was just for home machines)

And I probably could have bought a street fighter 2 machine for the amount of money I spent on it.

[hongkongfuey]

Cain,

did you have a guy in armour and could strike either high, low or middle?

Tintin - Kung Fu Master - what a classic. Yie ar Kung Fu started in the arcades - also a classic : http://coinop.org/g.aspx/100214/Yie_Ar_Kung_Fu.html

[Cain]

Ya, sort of, the first lavel had a boss where the bad guy had a black stick [not Yoda :D ]

And the second or third level had some seahorses kind of enemies...don't remember much, must have been about 8 years since I played it :)

|Cain|

[Andy Murray]

The earliest MA game I remember was a Karate one;

Two joysticks pulled in various connections gave you various strikes. If you went through the matches, every so often you got to perform a timed break, with a progressively more scantily clad toon girl in the background.

Sums up Karate :D

Commando
Dragons Lair
Galaxian
Galaga
Scramble
Phoenix
Lunar Lander
Double Dragons

Ah, misspent youth!

[hongkongfuey]

Andy - Karate Champ was the game. You should ask Mo Lung about his memories of it!

[WhiteWizard]

ah chase hq what a game chase a car about then knock the crap out of it fond memories

[hongkongfuey]

Tintin - no challenges recently.

Are you trying to steal my titles whilst I'm enjoying the sunshine?

3 each - perhaps a unification bout is in order?

[Tintin]

I've done the taunting thing to get things going, now I'm doing the quiet, methodical thing to slowly take over! I hate Tetris though, and hexxagon is annoying. 3 all though, hmm, do you reckon we could get it pay-per-view for a title fight? :D

[hongkongfuey]

I somehow think no-one would be interested apart from me and you. I love Tetris, although I agree that Hexxagon is highly annoying.

Nice score on Snake - was that on the Python setting by any chance?

[Tosh]

Any chance that these games can be downgraded for Flash. I can't believe all of them use it.

A "i wanna play" permisson-less web monkey

[Tintin]

Yup, Python. Can't play it on anything else as it seems to jerk a bit and not react quick enough to the controls on my computer. Thats my excuse anyway.

[hongkongfuey]

tosh_spice,

I'm afraid all the games, and the vbulletin arcade software are based around flash. I cant think of anyway of changing this.

Looking at your profile, I assume you work with the Inland Revenue. If this is the case then .....


Serves you right ho ho ho.

;)

Dude! I'm a student the show me your taxes means give me your hard earn tax dollars.

What I meant was can you is there any good reason why they are in flash 6??

I know the differenece between 4 and 5 causes havoc but haven't heard too much about 6.

Just griping about the uni waiting before everythings "safe" before upgrading. How about some simple java games for us underprivelged kids!!

[hongkongfuey]

Dude! I'm a student the show me your taxes means give me your hard earn tax dollars.

Apologies. I'm happy for you to be out drinking and eating takeaway kebabs at my expense.

I'm sure some of the games are in older versions of flash. I'll investigate.

[Tosh]

Just these stoopid machines keep raving about installing Flash 6.

I know we've got 4 in the labs but it still doesn't play.

Very infuriating!

In case you're wondering, HKF is referring to the days of our youth when we were a couple of gung ho cadets on an Air Force Base camp. In the canteen (or NAFI or whatever it's called) they had a few games. One was karate champ, so we were chuffed about that and wanted to get the high score. Next to the karate champ game was a pinball machine. Playing the pinball machine were two huge, mean looking dudes with sandy coloured berets. Anyone familiar with the British army will know what that means!

Anyway, I'd heard that the game got harder as the high score increased, so, to make it easier, you should pull the plug and then plug it back in again to reset the high score.

The big, mean dudes were playing pinball next to the karate champ game.

Two plug sockets.

Two plugs...

I'm sure you can guess what happened next.

My short, teenage life flashed before my eyes!

So let this be a lesson to all of you that are gunning for highscores! ;)

:D

[YODA]

sandy coloured berets

(((Gulp!))) They sound a bit "Special" :p

Two plug sockets.

Two plugs...

LOL! So you cats lost a few of your 9 lives then? LOL!

[Mo Lung]

Haha! I did! James just stood there practising invisibility skills! ;)

You never saw a kid offer a big man all the money in his pocket so fast! :D

[hongkongfuey]

I've done the taunting thing to get things going, now I'm doing the quiet, methodical thing to slowly take over!

Tintin - still waiting ......

I'll put some easier games up if you can't hack the pace.

;)

[YODA]

:D

ROFLMAO

:D

[hongkongfuey]

ROFLMAO

thank you, EX space invaders champion.

(Feeling brave since I can't make your seminar ho ho.)

Come on boys - Arcade scores are rubbish - where are the superior reflexes you dedicated martial artistists are supposed to have?

Seriously though, anyone think the high scores should be reset on a monthly basis to make it more interesting? We could probably keep an 'all time greatest' list as well.

[YODA]

I've tried & tried but keep hitting the wall at the 25k barrier!

Dunno how Tintin managed 40k plus!!!!

He must be on summat :D

[Cain]

Can I know any cheats?

:D

|Cain|

[hongkongfuey]

There are no cheats. Anyway, you would only be cheating yourself.

Who has the highscores matter not....

As long as it's me that is.

..... and as long as it's not Tintin :D

[Tintin]

Hehe, sorry, looks like it is still me for the moment. Surely that Asteroids score isn't too hard to beat?!
Space Invaders just becomes a trial of boredom by about 20K, so I hope nobody beats my 41K as I don't honestly know if I could be bothered doing it again. Unless Yoda gets top spot that is!

[TkdWarrior]

Get your name in lights in our Arcade then Tkd! Do you mean UT2, or the original UT? I've got the original, but would probably cost more to post to India than to buy.

[hongkongfuey]

I'll take Asteroids then, but who's going to take over Hexxagon?
