    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

    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?

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

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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!

    Mo Lung Hard work!

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    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!
