Default Welcome to play at our Arcade game hall

Our website now features an Arcade game hall that has both classic and modern flash games, complete with a high score system, leaderboards, and tournaments. Check it out!

Why? Well, you know what they recommend when you are steaming from too many bad beats: take a break

How to Play
Just click the Play game link next to any game to start. One game usually costs one Chip, the play money currency of our website. You get more chips by participating in our website; for example by writing new threads and posts.

The game window has information about the objective of the game and its controls.

High Score System
The Arcade keeps track of the highest score of every player. If you want your high score saved after the game, you usually need to click a Submit score button in the game window.

Jackpot
Every game has a Play Cost in Chips, and these are put towards a jackpot that goes to the player who beats the current high score.

Tournaments
All games in the arcade can be played as a tournament against other rakeback users. The Tournaments waiting for players page lists all tournaments that you can join.

When tournament is full it starts, and all registered players get a notification by Private Message. Player gets disqualified if he/she does not play within 7 days.

You can also Create a New Tournament, and get to choose:
  1. For which game do you want to create a tournament?
  2. How many players (2, 4, 8)?
  3. How many tries for each round (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)?
  4. Entrance Fee (how many Chips participants must pay to the prize pool).

Statistics and Settings
  • Your Rankings page lists all your scores and high score table rank.
  • Your Settings page allows you to configure Arcade, and for example set if you want to receive messages from the Arcade.
  • Your Favorites is a bookmark page of your favorites. Please also rate the games after you have played them; the rating link is shown after each game.
  • Leaderboard page lists the overall score of players in the arcade. Points are awarded from all games as follows:
    1. 20 points for high score rank #1
    2. 18 points for high score rank #2
    3. 16 points for high score rank #3
    4. 14 points for high score rank #4
    5. 12 points for high score rank #5
    6. 10 points for high score rank #6
    7. 8 points for high score rank #7
    8. 6 points for high score rank #8
    9. 4 points for high score rank #9
    10. 2 points for high score rank #10
    11. 1 point for ranks outside the Top 10

So what would you say about a round of Curveball?

Click to Play game!

Default nice arcade

Hi,

Wow ... this is a nice arcade. I'm into games and some of the games here are classics. The way these games can be played without a console system like the commodore or the atari 2600 is way cool.

I've noticed that on some of the new games the score is not saved. Do these new games have to have so many jackpot chips before they can be won or have the scores saved?

What is the login time out? When playing for a long period of time I get logged off. What is the expiration for the cookies? Can they be extended for playing purposes?

Thanks

On some games submitting a score is not automatic and you need to click a Submit score button after the game is over.

Good point. The session time out is set to one hour an will not be extended.

Please check the Remember Me? checkbox when you are logging in to our website, and your session will not time out. I played one game of Motherload for 3.5 hours I recall, and the session was alive.

If you wanted to make an incentive to post in the forums, this is definetely it. The Pingu and Yeti games are highly addictive.
Quite possibly more so than poker. LOL.

Default Games Like?

I like games like Zelda, and the old fashion pinball. Are there any games like these?

Games like Zelda could be hard to find as flash versions. But there are lots of pinball games, but the ones I have tried have been bad; I'll try to find some version with good playability.

Default Sounds Good!

Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm still looking into the games just to see what they are, but do you need a joystick on the computer. I think it would be awfully slow without one, and I do not have one on my notebook.

Default Arcade Pass?

When checking out a few of the games, it says at the top I don't have an arcade pass. I can get one for 10,000. What is this all about? Is it on every game?

That message should not have been displayed, and should now be fixed.

I also like their version of Galaga....it just gets me cause the shooter doesn't shoot as fast as the arcade version LOL But it's still just as much fun as the original.
