Introducing the FORT Arcade

[Stargazer]

hmmm. I think it MAY be my computer. I'm too tired to investigate further, though. I'll let you know tomorrow if there's still a problem with it.

I have never, ever play Yahtzee in my life

I have but its been so long ago that I have no idea how to play....I hate it that some of the games don't have directions....I went into the Yahtzee game to play and then just stared at it cause I didn't remember what to do....

Come on, Zaius, can't you let me keep the Himalaya trophy for a little while before you take it back?

[Kay118]

I'm not sure how to play:

I couldn't hit the skiers, almost all were out of range. Do I use another key besides the space bar?

What is the flashing red thingy on the snow for?

I hit only one skier, should I climb down, search in the snow and punch the skier? Do I get extra points for doing that?

Thanks in advance.

Okay....really.

152049 -- My Tetris score.

I got to Level 19....my eyes glazed over at level 9.

the Arcade is very cool. I like the games and wonder if we could find some that are word-based like Wheel of Fortune or something like that for the folks with big vocabularies and slow hand-eye coordination. I'm not exactly sure where to find them, but sometimes there are "guess the phrase" type games at those video games that you can play at bars if you are bored listening to your friends sing karoake.

Also, my hubby saw the games and was inspired to register at the FORT for the first time, but he can't get into the Arcade. He gets a message that says he's not authorized to start new threads. He posted a couple times, but let me know if there is something he needs to do. He's very jealous of me playing tetris and frogger.

I can't play in the arcade. [/whine]

When I click Arcade on the menu, I get redirected to an error message that says I don't have permission to access the page. Am I not cool enough?

[LG.]

that's the same type of error message that my hubby was getting, MS. I thought he was blocked out because of not enough posts, but that would not be the case for you. Hmmm, hopefully John can help out.

Sometimes it happens to me when I try to put in high scores, too.

it's before that point, Leo, as it won't even let him see the list of games available in the Arcade. Just says he doesn't have permission to start a new thread, which doesn't make much sense as he wasn't trying to start a thread, he was just clicking on the "Arcade" icon at the top of the screen.
