If you notice any bugs, problems or issues HERE on our site regarding the Arcade, please let me know so I can resolve those issues.
Additionally, among the many new features is one I requested, namely being able to sort all the games with download links available or disabled, rather than hunt them down one by one. I have found over 50 games with download links disabled, so I am now allowing those games to be downloaded.
Thanks ipbcoding.com for your hard work, dedication to us webmasters and community gaming members.
