rubecula Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) Not gerbils Rubes, i think you mean lemmings Good grief thats the one mate Dunno what made me think of Gerbils, yes the real name ins Lemmings. Thanks again Mate. By the way Bill I used to work at Liverpool Uni in the computing department and one of the things we looked at was the games freely on offer. Pipes was a game where you had a box with an exit and an entrance and water flowed in. The idea was to put pieces of pipes in to join the two so the water flowed straight through without filling the box.

Its in the arcade now. T the bottom of th screen you get a set number of blocks, you right click and hold the button down on your choice of block and position it on the main screen to didect the lemmings back up the fixed blocks. To save the lemmings you have to get them to the target symbol. The more you save the higher your points. The red crosses are death, and you have to avoid them.

Bill Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Put two mini golf games on this morning both scoring in different ways, one gets points for how quickly you complete it and how many shots it takes, the other one (Mini Golf Gold) is just like golf, go around in the least number of shots to get on the leaderboard. Give me some feedback on which you like best or should i leave both of them on. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Cheers Rubes. Have put two fun games on this morning .. Yeti Pentathlon is one of our original games, 5 shot speartoss is one i've not seen before. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Had a quick go Bill, the spear toss is good, but the Yeti Pentathalon had me choking on my tea. I had tears running down my face. Warped sense of humour I am afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yeah a bit of fun. By the way if you are like me and just play solitaire golf for the fun of it thats good, But if you are trying to get a high score you will have to play the "Biggy". I think the most you can get with the mini is 25.000. Its much more difficult but the rewards are greater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I just tinker with them to pass the time, not bothered by scores, which is a good job as I am rubbish at them all anyway. Can you get Bejewelled by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 This Arcade is a brilliant idea. Well done to Bill for getting the games and well done to whoever thought of it in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 We had an Arcade for years Rubes, until we did an upgrade a few years ago and we lost it, We then changed our server and forgot all about it, Louis provides the Arcade, I only download the games but thanks for your kind words.

holystove Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I'd like to put in a request for "Straight Dice" and "Santa Golf" .... IMO the two best games from the old arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Why is Louis the Champion of Mini Golf Gold when pete0 has the top score ? Must be a glitch because he has zero (living up to his name ) I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a glitch because he has zero (living up to his name ) I guess. This is a strange one because i checked it out and its in the "low score wins" category, so i'm not sure if we can do anything about it.
