Open source Arcade Script

August 18th, 2007

Arcade sites are very famous these days and all the paid arcade scripts are too costly for a starter webmaster. Finding a free arcade script is a pain the ass let alone an opensource one.

Rgamescript was an opensource arcade script licensed under GPL. The owner kept it free till version 1.1 and then licensed the future ones under a commercial license. He made sure that the free one is not available anymore and removed the download link from his sourceforge project. I found a copy of the script and used for my site . Trust me, it was an awesome script with many features and perfectly optimised for search engines.

It lacks certain features of commercial arcade scripts like comments and users, but it has an easy to use admin interface and a template different from normal arcade sites. Moreover, it is licensed under GPL and there is a scope for improving it if some interested programmer decides to continue the project. So, I decided to upload the script to my site.

NOTE: There is also a gamepack available for that script, but I cannot upload it as it will eat up my bandwidth. So, if you need it, reply to this post with your email and I’ll email you the link.

Download the script here

There is a vulnerability in the original script that lets hackers to take control of your server. Thanks to Jay Shah, it has been fixed. If you downloaded this script before 5:40 PM GMT, January 24th, please redownload it again.
