Za Nifflas Arcade!?

LimeLemon, why don't you record highscore attacks of the more skill-oriented games on video?

I think you should change the snake game to a better snake where you can touch the wall.

Once again, it's of little use to complain about the current games if you don't have specific replacement suggestions. Meaning, "replace it with a better one" is not good enough.
It's just really a too tedious, boring, and annoying task to search, find, evaluate and implement new games, only to find out that they might not work with the smf arcade after all or to see that everyone hates them anyways.

especially considering that the whole point of snake is to avoid the walls for as long as possible...

@TechnoGeek & goog:

There are special versions of Snake, actually, and not even necessarily on the computer. Has anyone played Snake EX2 on the Nokia 6070?
You have an option of Extreme mode, which starts off with no walls at all, and at certain score values an exit appears in the level, and it takes you to the next level. In addition to the dots, it also contains moving bonuses (if you collect them before they expire, you get bonus points). There are six different mazes (No Maze, Box, Tunnel, Spiral, Blockade, and Twisted, in that order). Unlike this version of Snake, in Snake EX2 you have 9 different speeds to choose from. Ahh, the possibilities are endless...

In some snake game there are no walls, instead you just "warp" around the screen.

then, it gets fairly boring...

Why would I? Do you think I'm cheating? Are you jealous or something?

I believe he means so that other people can see how you play and maybe it will help them to do better in the games.

I agree. We've done everything we can to make the arcade as interesting as it can be, but it appears that people will always complain. I guess its in the nature of some people to always have to complain.

Funny is that when you ask them for a solution, they can't find a good solution that actually works.

Gorfinhofin is right. I make such videos and I like to watch them.

I don't make such videos and I don't think people would like to watch them.

I often get 'Session is missing' message, after submiting score...

If it would be possible, bar access to the arcade from me...  I've gone way off in an arcaderage, soiling myself to be a dirt goblin.

I think it's a little weird that someone got 140830 points in yeti game. That person must use a cheat ur sumthing.

I found a foolproof way to give yourself any score you like on any of the games a while ago. I didn't use it except to test it by giving myself one point more than I had actually scored on one of the games (then I beat that score legitimately).
When I mentioned it in #niffchat, nobody seemed very interested:

[18:01] <Dataflashsabot> hm. I'm gonna try giving myself one more point that I actually got
[18:02] <Dataflashsabot> if it works I won't abuse it
[18:03] <Dataflashsabot> it did work
[18:03] <Dataflashsabot> in snake
[18:03] <Dataflashsabot> I got 34, it list 35
[18:03] <Gorfinhofin> Why does this Coke taste so bad?
[18:03] <Dataflashsabot> *lists
[18:03] <Gorfinhofin> Also, I hate stale buns.
[18:03] <Dataflashsabot> should I say how I hacked?
[18:04] <Gorfinhofin> The buns had been in the freezer, and my brother got them out. But all he did was take them out and put them in the bread drawer.
[18:04] <Armand> We
[18:04] <Gorfinhofin> So now half of them are wet and the other half are stale.
[18:04] <Armand> I mean ew
[18:04] <Marsgirl>
[18:05] <Dataflashsabot> hm, I could give myself a score of 99999999 :3  but I won't
[18:05] <Armand> The :3 included?
[18:05] <Dataflashsabot> no
[18:05] <Marsgirl>
[18:05] <Armand> Aw.
[18:06] * Armand has quit IRC (Quit: iPhone Ferret -- Away!)
[redacted, cheat info]
[18:07] <Marsgirl> well that's cheating.
[18:07] <Dataflashsabot> indeed
[18:08] <Dataflashsabot> I beat my cheated score legit
[18:08] <Marsgirl> thumb.
[18:08] <J> up your.
[18:09] <Azu> huh

So um, whatever. Possible someone else found about it.

Also, wasn't there supposed to be a monthly reset?
