NMP Arcade Games [Archive]

No longer working :shrug: for me anyway.
I'm not a whizz in the technical department but I understand there's been a change to Adobe Flash player, as in, Adobe no longer supports Flash. I think it ended on the 12th January.
Was the NMP Site using this program as none of the games seem to work anymore.
I've checked my side and can still get games from other Sites, so it's something to maybe look into.

I know we are in the middle of a pandemic but the games could be useful for people in lockdown.
I understand if it's not priority though. Thank you.

Thanks Nicola. I must have missed that thread.
Shame, but maybe something might work when Alex has time. x

If people want access to online game sites, I can produce a list. There's a lot of fun stuff out there.

Carnation

25-01-21, 14:45

Yes please Blue :yesyes: If its ok with Nicola, of course.

BlueIris

25-01-21, 14:47

In work now, but will post a list of good sites first thing tomorrow :)

Thanks Blue :hugs:

I miss those games too Carnation. Quick Words was one of my favourites.

Carnation

30-01-21, 14:25

Fishman, I've searched a lot of games online. Most want you to pay or download for trial, then pay later and lots don't work anymore because of this adobe change.
Its quite stressful searching for games when the whole point of playing is to calm your anxiety.

BlueIris was going to give a list. I hope she is ok. ��

30-01-21, 18:39

I've been searching the web Carnation for alternatives but can't seem to get any working. I agree it is stressful.

Carnation

30-01-21, 20:44

I'll let you know if I find anything fishman x

nomorepanic

30-01-21, 22:00

I will ask Alex if he got anywhere with it

Carnation

Hi all

I am working on this. I have installed a new version of the arcade on our test site but am now waiting for access to be able to get some games. Fingers crossed it won't be too long

Alex

Carnation

31-01-21, 17:07

That's fantastic Alex. Thank you so much :yesyes:

fishman65

03-02-21, 19:17

I agree that's brilliant news Alex thank you, NMP isn't the same without a games arcade.

BikerMatt

03-02-21, 19:34

I didn't really play the games, but would just like to say a big thank you to Alex and Nicola.

Thanks to the admin and mods. Hopefully they'll work with FF browser without Flash.

What sort of games do people want as we can only download 5 a day so want to get a good mix.

Carnation

09-02-21, 22:17

This is great news Nic :yesyes:

I think fishman wanted quick words
I wouldn't mind age of Japan or one of the miner games
But I'm sure the choice you make will be a good one.
Maybe the games could change monthly, if that is possible?

nomorepanic

09-02-21, 23:25

The intention is to download as many as ther are but the site Alex is getting them from will only allow 5 downloads a day unless you pay so we will just keep downloading them each day.

Carnation

10-02-21, 10:18

Ahh, ok Nic.
Like you say you want a good mix initially.
To be honest, most of the games are good. Maybe one from each category. I.e. Classic, platform, sport etc.
If no one comes forward with suggestions, your decision will be the best one. x

fishman65

10-02-21, 13:00

Hi Nic, I agree with Carnation. A mix similar to what was there already. I do like word games, general knowledge quizzes etc. Oh and bubble shooter was very addictive :blush:

whispershadow

10-02-21, 13:47

i like card games :)

Scissel

10-02-21, 15:08

OH.. I quite enjoy knowledge quiz and mind games to improve memory :) Many thanks to admin/mods for the effort and hard work!

Carnation

10-02-21, 18:22

Yes, it is very much appreciated Nic x
And Alex, of course.

fishman65

10-02-21, 20:30

I agree totally. Admin are very much the unsung heroes.

nomorepanic

11-02-21, 19:10

Alex has installed the new games arcade and I have added a few games.

Some of them are not working at the moment but we will look at that, but some work fine.

Have fun!

Thanks Alex

11-02-21, 19:23

Many thanks Alex!! You're a genius. Thanks to everyone in admin too.

Carnation

11-02-21, 20:07

Brilliant news! Thank you Nic. x
Thanks Alex for making it possible. :yesyes:

nomorepanic

11-02-21, 20:59

Sadly of the 18 games I downloaded only 9 will work so we will look into that.

The ones on there should be ok though.

Carnation

11-02-21, 21:19

Sorry to be a nuisance but I cant get any of the games. 404 appears on the screen. does anyone know what it means so I can correct it.
I tried to access on my laptop, IPAD and mobile phone.

nomorepanic

11-02-21, 21:23

all of them carnation?

nomorepanic

11-02-21, 21:23

can you screen shot it at all?

11-02-21, 21:30

that's ok I will be the champion forever lol

what browser are you using?

nomorepanic

11-02-21, 21:31

Just tried it on chrome and yup they don't work.

They work fine on Firefox.

I will let Alex know

Carnation

11-02-21, 21:36

Yes, all of them Nic.
I can see the list of all the new games and headings etc, but when you click to play nothing happens except for this 404. Lol, I think I'm on chrome.

nomorepanic

11-02-21, 21:43

Yeah it is chrome thing. They are fine on firefox

Scissel

11-02-21, 21:57

Thanks, Nicola. Question answered - FF fan here as well - and I will try out some games tomorrow :)

nomorepanic

11-02-21, 22:10

Try now

Carnation

11-02-21, 22:25

Just downloaded Firefox Nic. Thanks x

nomorepanic

11-02-21, 22:30

they are ok on chrome

11-02-21, 22:46

Just to let you know, I can see them on Android. It's a slow loading page though so it might be worth checking they run fast enough.

I'll try on Edge later and report back just in case.

Thanks Alex (and Nic of course) great job!

Hi Nic, I agree with Carnation. A mix similar to what was there already. I do like word games, general knowledge quizzes etc. Oh and bubble shooter was very addictive :blush:

Don't know about Bubble Shooter but there is an Owl Shooter! Eugh, remember that Bauble Shooter one?

nomorepanic

11-02-21, 22:54

We are having a few issues but we are getting there slowly so bear with us and we will be adding more games as soon as we can. Thanks

Carnation

11-02-21, 23:19

Lol, yes! Think I just played one in German, lol.

nomorepanic

12-02-21, 22:19

I have added some more games today. Some I can't get like the japan one you wanted but I am trying to get a good mix.

I can only download 10 a day so will keep adding them each day.

I have tested most of them and they seem to be ok but if you have any problems let me know.

Happy gaming!

My husband worked out a way for me to play 'something fishy' on my laptop even though flash has gone. PLEASE is there anyway you can put it back on the arcade or tell me how I can find it as I have used it almost everyday for the last 10 years to help my anxiety. Thank you in advance, Laura xx

nomorepanic

12-02-21, 23:17

Hi Laura

That game isn't available on the site I am using to download games - only in Flash.

If you want to see if you can find it then google html5 games and the game name.

You'll have noticed I spent most of yesterday trying out the new games. It made a miserable day pass very quickly. They all work except for what I think we're the original five. That would include owl shooter and the chick game. I get a picture of a dog on the screen which I'm presuming is the Site from where the games come from and it freezes when loaded. You may already know this, but just thought I'd mention it.
Apart from that, all working well with the others.
So thank you Nic and Alex. :yesyes:

nomorepanic

13-02-21, 13:18

Owl shooter works fine on Firefox and Chrome for me - what are you running it on?

Carnation

13-02-21, 14:31

I'm running it Firefox Nic. I'll try it again today.

nomorepanic

16-02-21, 22:30

I have downloaded a selection now so going to take a break as it is a lot of work.

If you want anything specific or a type of game then let me know.

I see that hardly anyone is playing so probably a waste of time anyway :wacko:

Carnation

16-02-21, 22:36

Thank you Nicola for all the time you put in so we can have our games back. I've been playing, a lot!!!
Others will eventually. x

nomorepanic

16-02-21, 22:39

thanks carnation - at least one person appreciates it

Carnation

17-02-21, 11:49

I certainly do Nic. It's got me through a very grim week with the boiler breaking down. x

I've tried a good chunk of the games and there is something for everyone there.
I'd you want a quick game, it's there, if you want a challenge, it's there, if you want classic games, they are there, if you want to play all evening, it's there. Games for fun, distraction and relaxation.

Well done Nicola!

Carnation

22-03-21, 12:07

Good to see more members playing the games in Arcade.
Nicola, if there is any free time before work and life resumes to normality, can we have some more games in the General Knowledge Category and maybe a few others that catch your eye?
Many thanks x

nomorepanic

22-03-21, 12:14

Sadly I couldn't find any general knowledge ones (on the site we are downloading them from).

I will have another look but I am pretty sure I didn't find any last time.

Carnation

22-03-21, 12:45

Ok Nicola. No worries. x

Scissel

22-03-21, 14:54

Owl shooter works fine on Firefox and Chrome for me - what are you running it on?I just played street slam with FF, and (as you likely know), I'm logged in here now with Vivaldi Browser (Chromium) and Zuma Legend also is fine - I appreciate your hard work; Nicola :)
