For a few weeks, we've been keeping our eyes open for a game script that we
can put on our site: World's Longest Homepage

I've been to the sites listed here in the stickies above. Have been to some other sites as well. I'm back here to try to narrow down and make a purchase.

Here is our wish list:
  • Easy Install
  • Customizeable to our own colors, logos.
  • We host games on our server
  • Ability to add/remove games
  • Ability to host arcade in subfolder of main root directory. (We'll need to keep our homepage left for it's own purpose but want to link from homepage to seperate arcade directory on same site).
  • Excellent support
  • High Scores - This could be what determines which script we purchase.
  • Not too much branding, though we don't mind giving credit
  • Easy to navigate
  • Nice window sized games
  • SEO friendly
  • Addictive

This is obviously a wish list, but would like as many features as we can get. Also prefer PHP/MySQL type.

We're forming opinions, but who here has experience with any of these scripts? Support?

Thanks in advance for replies.

Thanks for the kind words Camron

Good luck in your Hunt for a game script we are currently also working on v1.3 which is about 2/3 weeks away from release.
And you also get the 1600+ games/videos with our script

I would highly recommend phpAS 2.0. It is only $30, and it is extremely customizeable. The support there is unmatched IMO, and version 2.13 is currently being beta tested, and will be released in approximately 1-2 weeks. I am currently a beta tester for it, and I can say that it is awesome. The only feature it doesn't have that you mentioned is "High Scores - This could be what determines which script we purchase." I don't think any of the arcade scripts on the market have this feature, as it would require editing the flash games which is not legal to do if they are copyrighted, which 99.9% of them are.

StackedTech, thanks for your opinion. I've also been to your hosting site and have bookmarked it for future use. :)

Thank you bonzer and jeter4982 also. I like both. I like the feature of having the html code on the page for others to paste into their pages. Will this be coming in the future of phpAS, or did I miss it when looking?

Another thing, I'm assuming, since I can add/remove games/movies that we will be able to provide for all ages to view. We would not be listing some of the movies or games that would be innapropriate for all ages. We can add any movie/game of our findings and choice as well I assume??

I had a feeling it would be hard to find the "high score" option, but was hoping there might something out there that might have that. Understandably, if it's not there, it's not there. :)

Yes, phpAS currently has the html code feature as an addon for v2.0, (as well as many other features as add-ons), but it will come standard in 2.13. And yes, you can add and/or delete any game within your arcade with only a couple of clicks via the admin panel.

I also highly recommend PHPAS2 - it may not look much from the preview however its one hell of an arcade system...the best one out there feature and compatability wise.

Thanks for the replies all. I must say, I played around with the admin demo of phpAS and it looks like some good development time was put into it.

rmwebs, I think I like your avatar best out of all I've seen. :)

Thanks Tom,

Does version 2.13 have word filtering of the member comments section as a feature? (Filtering bad words, urls, spam-type).

I asked on their forum as well.

www.phparcadescript.com

PHPAS v3 RC1 was released a few days ago. I run this script on all my arcades. It is easy to change the template and add modifications. The only thing you cant do that you put in your wish list is the High Scores. I dont think you will find any script with this because 99% of the games you add to your site have an agreement where you cant modify the file, and you will need to modify the file in order to get the high scores. Support is great, and alot of times other script owners will help you out (answer your questions, etc)

Edit: didnt see the post saying you bought a script.

O.k, I didn't want to discredit any of the other scripts mentioned in this thread by mentioning which script I went with (kinda left the obvious of which one we bought by going to our site if one wanted to look), but I guess I better write of my experience to help others. We purchased PHPAS.
I'm most happy with this script as it was extremely easy to set up. Haven't done much customization to it yet due to time restraints but for our purposes, we were able to get it up and running quickly without headache. I'm very impressed with the support (via email, helpdesk, or forum). Quick response, great user base. Good add-ons. And, I was emailed with the PHPAS v3 RC1 as soon as it became available. (Haven't installed it yet).
This is truly a script worth buying for us as the development team is continually working to support it. For the price, it saved us time in developing one ourselves.

The only one glitch I found was that when a game is played, the count is doubled. For example, for every 1 time I play a game, the counter adds 2 to the games played total. I want to fix that, but don't have much time to go into the code to find out why and fix. Other than that, it's a great value and I'm glad we were given the suggestions.

I have both. PHPAS and GMOA.

I have to say I like them both alot.

But if I have to choose between the 2 I would pick GMOA because of all the games it brings that was A+ for me to buy it.
