Alien Hominid

Why? The game ends after you kill the giant robot and score doesn't get sent. Apart from that you can die as many times as you want nd your life only goes negative but you stay alive

I never had a problem with the negative lives thing, but I have never beaten the first level either.
I know that it's possible to run up the score simply by shooting the constantly spawning enemies.

There there Jess don't fell depressed. The world is a nice place...most of the time. Besides you didn't create those games so you're not responsible if they were badly programmed

I totally agree with Speedemon35 on the above.
----------------------------------------------

Everytime you put a game in it takes a little work to make it fully function on a given site. Some take seconds while others can take many minutes to set up. I think that is what's depressing poor ole' Jesse.

Games to be Removed
-[URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/ecoli742/bagdad.jpg]Bagdad Bowling[/URL] : still won't let me submit a score. plus the guy in red screams like michael jackson when you hit him.
-Christmas Bounce: no life syndrome game, you get a free life every 5 seconds. game never ends
-Cooking Cookies: easy max high score
-Crazy Block Breaker: no life syndrome game
-Equilibrium: no life syndrome game, just click and hold the tightrope and catch the free life that comes by every 15 seconds or so
-Karts: no life syndrome game
-Magattack: score exploit, ask DDR about it
-Nut Nut: no life syndrome game
-Photo Hunt: easy max high score
-Pipe Mania: no life syndrome game. game never ends
-Pogo panic: same as with Simon, just write the colors down
-Slingshot Santa: easy max high score
-both Space Ace games: wont let me submit a score


Abyss is not glitched, well it wasn't for me at least. I got to the bonus round 3x. it just gets harder to make the bar move as the levels increase.

Embassy Sharp Shooter is not glitched. The point to the game is to hit the targets, do it in succession and you score big. That's the POINT to the game.

I played Bagdad bowling and it submitted fine.

Posted by Jesse Smith

Actually, there should be two different lists.

Games that don't work (Like the two I deleted), and games that shouldn't be counted in the contest because of score bugs. Just because the score's messed up/people can cheat doesn't mean people can't play the games for fun!! At the end of the contest I can simple not count the cheat scores.

Only games that don't work are the ones that should be deleted.




Posted by NES Queen

no, games that are stupid and boring should be deleted. there no need to have 400 games if half of them are retarded.




Posted by Gravitar

Baghdad bowling is indeed broken. Get to the third level and if you are to far into it the game dont submit even if you are fast enough to click on the submit button. So yea, I agree with NES-Queen (Take it out)

Dang! I liked that game too!

Quoting NES Queen: -Karts: no life syndrome game

Granted it's lame, but it still requires a lot of focus and effort to score high on it. 'Karts' could go on forever, but the game ends after one crash (which usually happens when the player falls asleep after dodging cars for 25 minutes straight).

Anyway, more discoveries...

Space Ace (Arcade)
Halfway during wave 5 or 6, the game automatically advances you ahead a couple levels then ends without submitting the score.

Also, it seems I made a mistake on 'Ninja Kid' earlier. It turns out that you can in fact "submit the score after beating it", however the score will register incorrectly.
So it goes like this...

Ninja Kid
If you beat the game, your final submitted score will be cut short by two zeros [example: 75,000 = 750].

...
Bad.

What may be stupid and boring to you may be another players delight. Mainly looking for the games that have no end, or once you end them you cant submit. Those should be deleted IMHO.

Karts is what I'd like to call a dexterity game since it does indeed end if you crash or fall asleep. Mostly the second I think :)

*Remembers to never listen to any one who calls themselves the NES Queen.* IMO, every sport or card game is 'stupid and boring' but did I keep them off?? No, so people that like them can play them. The next update, in a few hours, with 54 games, will even have sport/card games.

*Crud!!!! Now you got me playing Solitaire.* :(



Posted by Gravitar

Adding JOUST to the list of games to remove due to its many glitches outlined below.
-----
A. Enemy gets stuck at the top and bottem of the screen where they dont die and you cant hit them.

B. You can get stuck on the top or bottem also
C. You can clear the screen but if an enemy disappears on the top/bottem you are stuck on that level.

But But I was almost champion.........and just because I got 848 a hundred times doesn't mean I cheated...............:)

Quoting Max Mouse: But But I was almost champion.........and just because I got 848 a hundred times doesn't mean I cheated...............:)


I dont see where anyone said you did. If so please point it out. BTW, the score for that game can go into the thousands and beyond.

Have a good day.

Max Mouse disagrees: You don't know what your talking about



Oh shut up Max Mouse, you don't know what you're talking about.

Another one to be removed is Apple Hunt.

More games with issues...

S.A.M. Site
The score resets after passing each level.

Jungle Jumble 2
Simple memory/matching game. Only one round, and easy to win in less than 20 seconds.
(This one's hard to describe. It doesn't contain any real problems, it just does not seem to belong in the arcade.)

CRUD!!! NES Queen, now you got me ADDICTED to [url=http://www.vgchat.com/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=363]Mahjong Solitaire[/url]!!

If there's ANY ONE out there that knows how to play card games, play the game a few times and knock my score out of the park. Maybe that will get me un-addicted to the game!!!




Posted by loony636

I'm going to try Jesse, right now.




Posted by NES Queen

Remove Koala Sabatoge. When you get to the kangaroo house it wont let you complete the level and continue with the game




Posted by ZEN

As if it really matters now, here are some more games with "issues" that I've found.
(I also wanted to refresh this topic.)


Jungle Jump - Can't submit score after completing Level 3.

Gorlog - Game freezes up after beating third boss.

Jump The Gorge - Won't submit score after completing the last jump.

City Jump - Level 29 is either "glitched" or just plain "impossible". You will NOT get past Level 29. Go ahead... try.

Kirby's Star Scramble - Cheat by getting score of 42,798. (I don't know how this is done. The final digit can only be a "5" or a "0", so a "42798" is not possible. Every arcade that has this game always has that same top score. It can be beaten "legitimately" but it takes FOREVER!)

Square Bears Trivia Squares - It's a good trivia game. Problem is... it's a "trivia game". Getting a higher score just depends on playing it over and over until you get the right answers. May have a "max score".

Donkey Kong (The LCD game one) - Score flips back to "000" when you go over "999". Also can't submit score when that happens.

Virus - This game is just dumb.


There's also this one game in the VGC arcade that contains "innapropriate images of the exposed epidermis of the mammories of the female anatomy".
(Translation) - Itz got nekkid b00bies!

I would tell you what game it is, but first these other crappy games need to be dealt with (otherwise Jesse will just get rid of the game with the pr0no and leave the rest). How's that for a "con"?

*Runs off and plays game where you see the "happy funbags" one more time*
