Announcement Retiring the arcade

[Second Summer]

Unfortunately it seems the arcade is broken as it won't store our scores any more. Also, the project has been abandoned by its developers. So I plan to remove it in the near future. This has the benefit of freeing up space in the menus, so I can install new stuff. (I have big plans!)

Maybe there will be a new arcade or similar at one point, who knows, but this one has reached the end of its lifetime it seems.

 

[ledboots]

Plans!

 

[Blobbenstein]

perhaps we could get a hooter, and a satnav.

 

[Amy SF]

Oh, drat. Never took the opportunity to try the arcade. Oh, well.

Looking forward to seeing those new plans, though. Care to drop a hint or two? Are you soliciting ideas?

 

[Pirate]

awww RIP arcade. I never used it, but know some enjoyed it. I guess if it's broken and theres no way of fixing it then deleting it is the best plan

 

[kazyeeqen]

Yeah I noticed it was broken, but since my score was still the highest in tetris I wasn't too upset.

Onward and upward!

 

[Second Summer]

It's been deleted.

As for the plans, I think it will be several months yet before it's ready to be installed. I've spent all the contributions from you guys + some of of my own.

You can always ask for more.

Meh. I sucked at the arcade, but I'm glad some of us enjoyed it.

I think I got the video-game addiction out of my system by 1990. I had an Atari 800, and not too many games- but I took a long time to get tired of the ones I had: Star Raiders (GREAT 3-D graphics!), PacMan, Space Invaders, Zork 1, Berserk...

 

[Blobbenstein]

peace at last.

 

[KLS52]

I really liked that version of Solitaire, even though it kicked my butt most times.

Is there a donation system here, IS?

I don't remember ever seeing one at all.

Yes, there is, sort of. You can become a Contributing Member for only £5 or $7.70 per year. Use the Account Upgrades option on your account menu - for convenience here is a direct link.

(It seems the account upgrades feature has been broken for a while - just fixed it now.)

*sends CG a box of vegan donuts and a lovely card with a picture of an adorable 5-week-old white Persian kitten on the cover holding a little ball of yarn between its paws*

So ...

I get my name in environmentaly friendly colouring, a box of virtual donuts, a picture of an immature Iraqi cat trying to knit without needles and something to do with a small bird, that I don't have, on the first page ...

Not bad for a fiver, I guess

 

[kazyeeqen]

Wouldn't the cat be Iranian?

 

[Spang]

I forgot to say goodbye.
