Why don’t you make a poll about the favorite arcade game? I would vote for Disco Mania.

Tadaa! RAN rules Space Slime by now.

I like the mood of the game. Go for double and triple shots. The mini games remind me of Lazy Jones. It’s a little bit sad that you can’t enter your own acronyms. Nice and satisfying puzzle integration (although, the candy dispenser). It’s great that the pARK ARCADE is finally open.

Thanks!

[Btw. there are too many hintline spots available, one should be enough. It’s a little bit confusing when german signs are mixed with english ones.]

Really? I had not tried in Casual mode yet because I didn’t have a save have at the appropriate moment. I was just basing it on what I heard. I guess that was wrong. Cool!

So, things are actually more complicated than I thought.

The official announcement on Steam states that the arcade room is accessible only on Hard mode. Since I have played the arcade games on Casual as well, I have asked a clarification and this is what a developer answered to me:

The Arcade becomes accessible in Casual Mode if you successfully complete the Hard Mode puzzle chain.

Source.

Okay, okay, Ron you’ve sucked me back in.

OK, now that makes sense! I was sure I was told it was an Easter egg for hardcore gamers. I couldn’t really see why it would be a giveaway in Casul mode, except as a cynical assumption that no hardcore gamer would ever play it. Hehehe…

Thanks for clarifying.

I may be wrong, but I don’t think it’s possible. The arcade room, like almost any other place in the town is in awful conditions and even the pinball that you can see in the foreground is broken. I think that the broken games were intentionally made this way to convey a sense of abandon (and also to save development resources ).

What development resources? Mr. Gilbert works for free!

(Just kidding, @RonGilbert, please don’t shoot me!!!)

The arcade is awesome!
