Now it could me just me but do other people find that the arcade section is taking over their life? I have been dreaming of miniputt and the illusive title for well over a week now. Finally I am champion! This is a huge relief as I knew it was only going to be a matter of time before I lost my job and girlfriend over that damn infuriating game.

-i really only posted this to see the little 'miniputt champion' thingy come up

Everytime I play miniputt I am amazed at the best score recorded! I think I've had a good round and I'm still way off the pace!

Also I suspect that there is some "manipulation" at foot in a couple of games, such as Pingu Slap (the snowball one), where the elapsed time recorded against many of the high scores is significantly longer than the "normal" game speed allows. If anybody wants to fess up and share some "tips" with those of us trying to succeed without assistance...

I'm addicted to plop. :eek5:

Just remember scores only last 100 days before they are removed.

That was harder than I thought. Got 116 for my first go... didn't bother submiting it.

When you have wasted as many hours (probably into days now to be honest) playing miniputt you find that all but about 3 holes can be got in one. Its just trying to to them all in the same round that has me wanting to throw my mouse through the screen.

Ok, got up to 140 but as Hitcher said, its too bloody hard! :sly:

You must have been getting a hell of a lot of hole in ones for a 149. :eek5:

I too enjoy the arcade, spose cos I grew up with comp games! Have to ease off after an hour or two because my game just gets worse and frustrates me...I find I play best after having a day or so out of the arcade and then heading in fiercely with a vengeance!!

Couldn't say it's taken over my life though :shit: ...& the dream comment was hilarious.

Can't expect to have one good game and then stay on top forever. That would be boring for everyone else. If ya want to stay on top, you have to keep at it.

If you have a really old and slow computer, you have a real advantage with slowdown. That is the secret to my tetris success, but I've just let Nuahnn have it now :kick:

Check out people's ping times to see how cheatin they are. On one of the computers I use, an old P166, those shooter type games could go on forever if I had the patience.

Spank the monkey you can cheat on also. Drag the hand to the far right of the box, then, while still holding the button, sneak your mouse pointer out of the box and around to the other side (left). When you go back in the box from the left side you'll see what happens.

There should be an award for number of titles divided by total amount of time played for grand champion. :banana:

Yeah, I knew that cheat ;) but how did you get more than 847!?!?

Not that I'm addicted or anything but Yetisports 4: Albatross Overload is out now on the YetiSports site (http://www.yetisports.org/).

Looks like another candidate for the arcade SpankMe? :banana:

Just keep trying different starting and ending positions for your mouse pointer.. it is real subtle changes that make a difference. What i cant understand is how some people can get 1600+ as i saw on some website that hosted the game :shit:

Is there any possibility of a racing game being added. I always sucked at all the other types of games.

P.S. I couldn't figure out how to play Plops :wacko:
