Arcade Games, Game Mishaps!!
« on: Feb 02, 2008, 10:09:54 AM »
I'm starting this thread so that people can post problems or mishaps with the Arcade Games section, I'll start with a good one to watch for and what to do to avoid the issue. I have found issues with other games so I thought this thread might help us.

I was kicking the crap out of Sonicblox and had the high score in the bag so I was just playing and not worring about the score anymore, I reached the end of the game completely and it went through a small animated ending and went to the start screen like it always does. Normally this game automatically records all scores, there is no button to click to record your score. Well guess what it didn't record my score! The last I had checked I had over 4750 and that was when I had stopped even looking since I had the high score in the bag, so I'm guessing that once it ended I was at 5000 or close to it. I guess the cure for this issue is DO NOT FINISH THE GAME! I believe there are 8 levels so if you want to save the score you must bailout before the end of level 8.

That happened to me last night too!!  Also, when it happened to me, I only had something like 2800 points, and then I beat the game :dunno:

I played a different game & it didn't record my score. Something about an error.  I had beat the high score twice & it didn't keep it. Also some games have no instructions.

Yeah there were a few other games that wouldn't record my scores on, can't remember which ones but they didn't have any scores to begin with so I figure they were having issues anyways. I spent a good portion of my morning warming up to Sonicblox and was giving everything into my last game and was just killing it and then I got robbed.

Amira goes only to 45 and then doesn't give you the high score.

I played Billiards early this morning for about 2 hrs & had scores recorded. Now the scores aren't there & it doesn't even showed that I played at all!  :maddest: playing all that time & nothing!  I do like the games though  :yupyup:

Blocks won't record any scores. It allows you to play but once finished and you try to post the score it won't accept it.
