I wasn't able to access the arcade when I set it up yesterday on Chrome but I'm able to load at least the arcade main page on the default Android browser on my phone.

Click the link at test it out. Let me know of any issues but post what browsers you use if it works as well. I may have to do a reinstall. It runs off a third party forum website so its not zetaboard native. I'll have to see if it pans out.

Time to see how much of your time can be consumed trying to beat Lance's high scores.

I couldn't get it to load, but I don't have the latest flash player installed - that seemed to be the hang up.

I just get a banner and the option to change my theme and I do have the latest flash player. Changing the theme does nothing to provide me with yummy games. I'll try it at work tomorrow to see if works on that computer. Solely for troublehsooting purposes of course.

I haven't had time to mess with it. It runs a javascript to pull the flash and java code from elsewhere. Lots going on.

Works fine in chrome on my old machine.
And works fine in Chrome on my new machine. No luck in IE for either.

It didn't want to work in Chrome so I wiped my browser cookies and everything else clean. It works perfectly now. That may help in other browsers. If IE still doesn't want to work, I'll start to think it's a problem with how IE works with java and javascript. Microsoft never did work well with java.

Edit: Works perfectly with IE 64 bit.
I'll be looking into adding more games. I can take requests and see if they have it or a ripoff version.

I don't think we need tonnes of games. We just need a few, fun and hotly contested specimens. That I can dominate you all in.

I noticed some of the default games already there are rather dumb though we did get some nice classics. I'll have to think about some that will be useful. If we do get a decent size of games, I'm glad there is categories, search and the other features. Games are automatically sorted and indexed at least.

Nope, I tried it in four different browsers with same result. A link back to Gambit's main page, an ad, and the ability to choose what skin to use. If I'm not logged in I actually more options. Oh, and I still can't use shout or see the icons in any browser.

It works fine in chrome and ie for me. I'll test out Firefox next. I can't recreate any of the problems you are having :(
Is this all on the same pc?

C'mon Lance... I can't spend all day trying to beat you to the top! I still have to show my face around at work once in a while, you know.

And Funky Pong is absurd, I tell you. It's gotta be some sort of witchcraft you're using there.

And uh... hello there everyone :P

Lynx, I am happy to finally see some competition around here. LGM provides as much resistance as a limp handshake.

I'm going to make a feeble resurgence. That'll show you.

I can take requests to add new games. Specific ones or I can put more of a certain category. Currently these are the defaults. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with their catalog so I'll search for games anyone mentions.

How the hell do you get it to record your score?! I'm logged in, but it's not showing me on the lists after I play.

I had a problem on my laptop using IE - wouldn't actually record the score. So I switched to Chrome for the arcade.

It may depend on the game as well - some games require you to click on "submit" or whatever to submit your score.

I've also written a custom script that automatically discards any Curveball scores higher than my own.

har har har :huh: Just you wait! I'll get you yet in Curveball and Copter. BTW, is 600 a perfect score for Cone Crazy? Because then I won't even try...

It appears I need to give up my dreams of being a professional arcade player. Screw you, Tetris.

Tetris could be challenging. But there are other scores that are quite beatable.

WILL SECONDS OF MADNESS BE THE NEW TESTING GROUND?
