Update: Originally the All-Time Boss trophies were reduced due to this new feature, however we have decided to keep the All-Time Boss independent of the new feature, so the All-Time Boss trophies will include all games including flagged games.

I may be late on this, but I personally just noticed the ''Note'' that will be on games ineligible for cash prizes.

The note is in yellow and right below the all time highscores and above the comments.

btw, the game I noticed this on was ''ERUPTION.'' I didn't realize there was an exploit and can't for the life of me figure it out lol I'm going to keep trying to find it though Cool

Anyone have a tip?

I for one like this ideal. this will give others a chance to reach the top of the boss of the month list.

i look at it like this i can still play the same games i play through out the month then focus on the games that will be still prize allowed near the end of the month.

this will also show which players was here just to win the monthly prizes with cheats such as C.P.U ENHANCERS . and other forms of cheats ie.... codes easter eggs and other methods.

so i say BRAVO ARCADE BOSS. i may not win any top scores but oh well o can still play other games that i enjoy playing just for the fun of playing Very Happy

Hey Lonny, appreciate the help. With your game notes include the basic issue so we can have a record of the reasoning. What's the issue in Excite Bike?

i will try and to include all notes on to how glitches are done.

i stubble on the EB glitch by mistake.

it seems that if you press/hold the a+f and the up+right at the same time while going of the jumps one can rack up the points.

now the secrets out lets see who exploits it first/most before the day is up..

I'm having difficulty distinguishing the difference between strategy and exploitation in some instances. So forgive me if I'm incorrect on some of there.

--------------------------------------------------

If I may vaguely help:

For Example, a game in which you can walk back and forth in the screen to kill a baddy and get points. Like Castlevania or The Last Fight. That's exploitation, right? Or what about a game where you can gain 1ups and keep killing baddies like a majority of platform games?

A bike/truck game where you can keep preforming jumps to your hearts content. Exploit?

Any game that has the exact same game play every time can also be exploited. For example, Block and Roll, Escape the Car, Bloons, Fragger, Mario's Time Attack, Bug, (most) Tower Defense Games, etc. The levels are the same every time. Therefore they're easily exploitable.

Many (if not most) games with a Pause feature can be exploited.

There are games in which a touch screen prove to be a huge advantage, Cursor Invisible may be a good example.

Games of repetition, like skill stack would be easily exploitable.

Clearly any mouse clicking game, like click it or super kicks.
Also, any mouse ''swinging'' games like hammer throw can be exploited.

Is it considered exploitation in dodging games when the mouse cursor can be moved out of the screen and back into the screen in a different area to bypass game over?

----------------------------------------------

I'm a bit tired, but these are my questions for now.

So for the most part I feel a lot of games fall into a grey area.

If I know for sure what is considered an exploit, or if staff would like some examples of what I mean on certain games, I would love to help ^.^

I've got a list as long as my arm Shocked

I'm glad that AB takes the time to keep things fair for all players!!

Q-Bert-2004 should be removed.

On classic world it seems the purple guy named colly doesnt chases you.
As soon as colly gets to the bottom he disappears or freezes.

and on the other worlds theirs a way to rack up the points
as soon as figure out the details i'll pass it along.
