    Hi All,

    I have just finished a flash game for one of my girl game arcade sites and I want to distribute it too as many other arcades, sites that would host it.

    Any ideas to most effective way of doing this?

    Pm me if you would like a copy of the game :)

    I know of a free web hosting service that might be interested in sharing the game on its site. ;) Of course, we would have to know what it is first. PM me if you are interested. :)

    There are two well established arcade webmaster forums that I am aware of: Talk Arcades and Arcade Webmasters. Both have Content forums that you should post links to your game in. You should also look around in the forums, I know I saw at least one thread about a list of places for game developers to submit their games.

    There is also an arcade resource site that is run by a long time quality poster here and at the above forums who has a form for you to submit your game for distribution in the gamepacks he sells (he has a girls game pack).

    You can also post a link to your game here in DP's Freebie forum.

    I do suggest that you have a variety of images available for use with your game (100x100, 60x60 and 70x60 seem to be popular) and include them in a zip file along with your game.

    You could also do some searches on Google for appropriate "girl games" type of searches and see if the sites listed don't have easy methods of submitting games, many arcade scripts have this feature built in.
