Just wondering what you folks think is the best arcade script on the market i'm looking for something that has a nice backend a ton of games included easy to template...etc...
For ease of template modification, I'd suggest gamesitescript.com. IMO the templates are easier to modify and more flexible. They both have a good amount of gamepacks although you can play wmv movie files on gamescript.net where it is not integrated into gamesitescript.com. Gamescript.com has mulitple movie packs. It's a toss up depending on what you want.
Where is a good place to get free flash games for a flash game website? I'm wanting to get a site started and I don't want to spend a huge pile of money on games if the site doesn't make any money. Also is dupe content goingt to be much of an issue?
* PlayCMS - playcms.com - $20 PlayCMS is great and is just $20. It does the job and is very easy too skin, I mean very easy that anyone can do it. The script has very few files and is really easy to install but .. it doesn’t have a members system and the admin backend isn’t that great. * PhpArcadeScript - phparcadescript.com - $30 I used phpAS on my latest arcade site because I heard great feedback about it. I admit it’s feature rich and had a great admin backend. I also love the tokens system forcing users to signup after they’ve played a certain amount of games. Although the bad point about this is for a beginner, it’s very hard too skin although once your used to the files it’s easy. Taken from my article on building an arcade site
www.getmyownarcade.com is also very good. Script complete with 1,608 games and video files for $40 Plenty of room to modify the look and v1.3 coming out in just over a week. It's difficult to find a better value package anywhere in the world.
I just decided I'd make my own Hardest part will simply be finding the games for it, hell I could fly over to some sites that I know and get some made for a fee
gamesitescript is a great script but the creator is MIA. Either jumped ship or was in some ski accident, we'll see. Can still use gamesitescript but you get no support, other than from other users of the script, and if you buy an already existing site you need to bypass the licence since it can't be transferred.
phpAS is easy to install, but like RYANNNNN said, skinning can be tricky. If you don't want to pay, the phpBB arcade hack is pretty good starting point, but will require a good bit of work to make into a typical arcade site.
does anyone here know of any add ons or "mods" for gamescript? I need an add on that shows the code for site visitors to link games and videos on their blogs or myspace...
I bought phpArcadeScript from persuasion from another forum and I'm happy with it. Pretty easy to work with in my opinion. Good support on their forums too.
Thermit: The phpbb arcade hack: that's integratable with phpbb forums, right? If it is, can you provide a link? I'm looking around for an addon to a site I have auth at. A bit off topic, but will the hack you're speaking of work with phpBB 3.0? EDIT: Sorry if bumping semi-old topics is against the rules, I'm new.
