If you downloaded this and have a file named gameroomBasic.swf, it should be named gameroom.swf, sorry about that, it's fixed in the archive now.

I would recommend Extreme caution in paying for the pro version of this Andrew has not been on his forum since April and prior to that he disappeared for over 6 months without a peep while his forum was filled with porn spam. As a premium member who paid 45.00 for the last year of ""updates"" I find that I can not even start a topic there and I just got a notice of a renewal of the licence that expires in two days. This experiance has ruined my confidence in supporting third party developers.

I admit it is sad Andrew seems to be MIA, I hope for his sake it is by choice and not some sort of medical or other emergency- I myself left the internet one day for a year with no warning due to a medical emergency.

I am just confused about this 'subscription' you have? When I bought The Gameroom I believe it was a 1 time payment, it's been well over a year and I've never gotten an email about renewing a subscription.

Someone once said he was arrested but I saw nothing to back up that claim. Do you have any info?

A google search shows " ANDREW GREEN PITTSBURG MAN SHOT TO DEATH IN THE 100 BLOCK OF PELICAN LOOP, Published by Staff Writer on February 23, 2010" but he logged in here in March 2010 and I don't know where he is from. (His profile says Winnipeg).

I heard he may not be around - ever so dont hold your breath

I downloaded this lite version, I thought it was pretty crappy, but decided to try the pro version from his forum, i've downloaded it and the programming is really bad, lots of errors all over the place like being able to bet minus figures.

My forum members are enjoying ibparcade a whole lot more than this gameroom which costs a rediculous amount.

VB3 has been out for many years, VB4 has been out for a good year too... yet in all this time with all the demand only this 1 guy has ever managed to come up with a mod where forum users can play games against each other- first in the Casino with Texas Hold 'em ans now with multiple games with this mod... I don't understand why? It can't be all that difficult can it? Seems like someone who is actually around to support it could clean up with a better supported similar mod, you have people paying $45 to a guy who isn't even around - imagine what you could bring in if you charged $20-$25 and actually supported it.

he had a Martial arts studio in Winnipeg and was active on his martial arts page during one of those hideous. I was worried the first time then he made an appearance and offered no explanation.
It was very strange how he suddenly went from very responsive to disappearing .

I thought it was a one time payment as well but then I just get a notice and look at the order it now says yearly renewals 25.00.

This is true... if Andrew had continued working on this we'd have 20 games and be virtually bug free by now... every forum would have it too.
