Bit random but years ago on InvisionFree we had an arcade loaded with different games that users could play against each other and challenge for high scores. I thought it was great! Have you ever had one?

I had the typical flash arcade games where everyone would compete for scoring.

I had a lot of fun with those arcade games back then.

How retro!
 
Yeah... had two of them when I ran the BBS. Of course, being multi-line, only one of them allowed multiple players... the other had to have a flag file thrown to show it was in use and give anyone else wanting to play a notice it was being played.
 
I had a look across the Invisioncommunity market place and couldn't find anything annoyingly :(
 
I remember trying some out in the old InvisionFree days, but I couldn't even imagine going back down that route today.

They were all java games so those days are long gone haha, it's a shame though, i had a great time trying to beat other peoples scores!

I'd probably play those games today if they were available on forums.

Bittersweet though.

Sweet feature, bitter for forum activity :p
 
I've actually approached somebody who used to create arcades back in the day about seeing whether it would be something they'd be interested in doing now... We'll see how it goes!
 
They’d have to do something else since flash is no longer a thing. But I’ve seen some pretty cool html games using the latest html. I wonder if that could be a possibility!’?
