I know that many people enjoyed it but it was another item that I had to manage security wise and was not worth the risk to me. -------------------- Lawrence

Luckily, MSN, Yahoo!, and Popcap (my favorite!! ) all offer free online games. So you can still play arcade games...just not here. Don't stress about it, Grinler...you had to make a judgement call, and I'm sure it was for the best. rms4evr -------------------- Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?

About a year ago I spent about 50 hours or so getting about 60% or something of the high scores and I just came back to check how many of them still remained... does anyone know if I was still the arcade champion when the arcade was removed?
