On another forum where they have an arcade you can have tournaments against other members? like you can play the games against them? Could we have that here or not?

Yes their is an option for tournaments which we weill be using shortly. We are just ironing the bigs out and trying to find a few more games to complete the lineup before starting anything.
 
I am sorry to say this (especially since Tetris is one of my favourite games) but I do not think it is legal for you to have this up here on this website.

I am sure you all know the big website Ebaumsworld? Well, they used to have the exactly same Tetris on their website, but got sent a cease and desist letter and had to take it down.

Just saying. Its copyright infringement because it actually uses the name "Tetris". To quote:

Some players prefer Tetris brand games; others prefer homemade tetromino games downloaded from the Internet, which are given names such as "N-Blox" or "Lockjaw" so as not to infringe trademarks. In late 1997 and in mid-2006, TTC's legal counsel sent cease and desist letters to web sites that misused the Tetris trademark to refer to homemade tetromino games.

Hi there, I have already looked into this before installing the games. The site they are from is subsription based so I assume some money does go to the makers/developers. But this is what the site says...

QUESTION?: So are the games offered for download here completely legal? Before I pay to download games, I'd like to know if they've been obtained legally, and unfortunately I haven't found a source yet that doesn't have illegal games.

ANSWER: At this time all games offered from this site are completely legal to use on your site, if a game owner asks that we dont use his/her games we remove them from the site ASAP and post a message advising members to remove same

They have a list page for games no longer available and tetris isnt on there and is still able to be downloaded. I dont know how they class these games as being legal but as I said its subscription based and it all seems pretty legit. I will keep an eye on the banned list thought just incase.

Thanks for the info though.

the person who programmed this particular tetris game probably DID give their consent, and the game itself IS legal - however, using the name Tetris is not. Which is why other websites had to remove the exact same game as you are having on here.

If it was just a matter of paying a little bit of money I am sure Ebaumsworld would have done this...

Anyway, youre the boss :)

Thats ok its best to remove it then just incase. Will have a look for a few new games now.

Thanks again
 
Tetris rules and i was reigning champ. Please try and find an equivalent and also any chance of digging up my old favourite Frogger
 
Tis a shame that old Amstrad CPC464K games aren't online! I loved Harrier Attack oh and Dizzy Egg fantastic! :D
 
Chain Letters.....

Can anyone tell me why with some valid word on chain letters it says invalid, won't accept them and then black out the spaces? Not sure if I'm missing something!
 
I found out why that happens when you play chain letters ("invalid" and black spaces). It happens every time you click on "submit" twice (accidentally). Maybe the game thinks we want to cheat and submit the same word twice. However, I tested and it happens whenever I click twice.
 
I don't know exactly which thread this belongs to, but I miss games like "puzzle" and pairs in the Arcade.
I have them on my website, so if you would like to beat my highcore (it is getting a bit boring), feel free to play on my website:

www.rachels-gallery.de

Then click on "games" (top menu) and the rest is obvious.
