There's an arcade game for
GTA: San Andreas, and console versions
Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and
Smackdown! vs RAW 2006.
I thought Exnem? made buyable versions of a few games like Quake and Doom. I remember having a Star Wars game from here too but I can't remember who made it.
Paladin has made many arcade games.
I think the reason more people haven't followed this because Open For Business broke alot of custom games and pretty much made this tutorial useless. I don't know if it's been updated to correct the OFB problems or not since I haven't really tried it since OFB came out.
The problem with OFB is simply that you cannot sell custom games in your businesses but they work fine on non-owned community lots. They'll have a max sale price of $1 and will disappear similar to what true_predator described. If you have OFB and are trying to follow this tutorial and are running into a brick wall (if it hasn't been updated for OFB) feel free to clone either my Hulk or SVR games to use as a base. Everything should be done for you except for changing and replacing the guids, texturing the game and game rack, and the videos and ini files of course. Your games just won't be sellable on owned community lots unless someone is aware of a way to correct this problem.
hexxer, the reason for installers is simply because without them the end user would have to manually place several different files in many different folders in order for the game to work, plus they need to modify ini files, etc. Most people will either give up or eventually make a mistake when dealing with so much work to install one game.
skiingiggy the missing stuff for making the game buyable is one of the problems with OFB. I assume you have that, which is why those options aren't there. As far as pulling the game texture uncheck "remove useless files" when cloning and
SimPE should pull the texture for you.
daisyjean0117 for "would this technique work on the standup arcade games? Or Pinballs?" no, this tutorial won't work for the arcade games but
this one will and yes they would be playable by your Sims. As far pinball, I've never even thought about looking into doing anything to them so I can't say at the moment. It's an interesting question. I think I'll go have a look.
