If some people are cheating they can be dealt with. If everyone is cheating then we will have to delete the arcade.
 
Down with the cheaters!

Why cheat when you can just pay some money for a trophy. eh?

So Wibbs, how much will it be for the Snake trophy then?
 
Pacman is my favourite game.

I wonder if there's a way to cheat in this game.

When I was 9 year old, I used to play it through the nights on Atari 65XE.

How far from first place are you?

Because the only way I can make you first is to delete all of the scores above you.

And I charge by the hour.

Perhaps that didn't come out quite right.
 
Given that until 5 minutes ago I had no idea that you could cheat that is hardly suprising. How do we tell who is cheating?
 
Who the feck would cheat just to get that little gold thing next to your username on this webforum, pathetic it really is.

Some people just have to ruin it for the others, every single time.
 
Looking at the Tetris scores it is actually easy to see who was either cheating or (to be generous) running a very slow machine.

The same conclusion with the copter?

Given we know it wasn't possible to cheat the first version (or at least no cheat was able to beat my genuine top score), and that we've established the current game can just put a block up that makes your skill up to that point irrespective because you can't go any further, perhaps we should switch back to the old version hint hint!

Sort of, but you don't know how much each person slowed it down, because with that link I posted, you have a throttle control. You could play the game at normal speed, and then when it starts getting hairy, pause it, turn down the throttle and go slower.
 
Why would anyone cheat? What is the point?

Although on my machine the snake is insanely fast from the start.
 
We are discussing options in the mod forum.

The cheats in tetris are fairly obvious but I can't see much to act on in snake game for example.
 
I now have the top score on tetris, and I can tell you now I didn't cheat.

I started on level 10 too, hence the quickness of my score.
 
You've always cheated.

Bastard.

I had a score of over a million on RR before the arcade went tits up.

In fact the score I have on here now used to be my par score, maybe more than that.
 
Fair play.

I'll go a million on you if you feck with me though.
 
Maybe that lad didn't cheat on Copter because I just stormed it to register a monumental score! And actually died when I shouldn't, just lost concentration

Champion!

IT IS A GAME!

Does cheating in the arcade forum really merit a huge mod investigation?

You're running the risk of not being fat pigeons here. Plus Weaste getting worked up is kind of cute.

That and I'm still waiting for that cheque I sent you to clear before I get my trophy.
 
I was the Tetris champion. I know a lot of suspicion may be on me but I can swear to God that i have never cheated in the arcade.
But judging by the comments on the folks here, the one thing I find funny is that some said it would become "insanely fast" when the level goes up. This has never happened to me as the speed of the game for me never changes much. I start in level 10. I didn't use the so called "cpu-killer" as some had described over at the other thread.
I am using an 1 yr old Acer notebook, with Intel duo-core processor, 1G ddr Ram,running on Windows XP. My internet connection is 1Mbit/sec broadband supplied by my local ISP (TM Net) over here in Malaysia.
My PING result to redcafe.net is 302 ms.
That's all I have to say.

Or did you cheat as well Brad.

Who knows....who knows.
