 PUArcade is the original and first arcade component for Joomla, hailing from Mambo - but it is nothing like the PUArcade of old. PUArcade 2.2 was released on January 29, 2008. Needless to say, this project is very active. As always, this arcade is completely FREE and open source.
Here are just a few of the features that are new for this latest release:
* V32 Support!
* Better PNFlashGames Support!
* Atari and Gameboy ROM Support!
* A Content Rating system, like ESRB ratings.
* Install many games at once with nested zip files!
* Tagging
* Leaderboard
* MORE!!!
Features that have been available for some time include:
* Support for many game systems, including PHPBB arcade, V3Arcade, PNFlashGames, and IBProArcade - ALL without any HACKS!
* Favorites
* NES ROMS
* Language support, with a number of included languages
* Many modules available, as well as Community builder plugins.
* Ajax based game and score sorting, so users don't have to refresh the page.
* Use of folders for game display is optional, nested folders ARE supported.
* WYSIWYG game descriptions
* Full configuration over game layout, height, width, background, etc.
* Quick, easy upgrades. Simply remove the old version and install the new.
* Publish or unpublish games, folders, or scores.
* Nice control panel puts administrative functions at your fingertips.
* Open games in a new window. Fully configurable in the back end. Includes popup blocker detection!
* Supports permissions just like other Joomla functions, using the built in Joomla groups.
* Compatible with JACL+
* JomComment integration
* Shoutbox integration
* Shows a folder pathway as you navigate through folders.
* Show the top scores under a game, fully configurable in the back end.
* Configure how many columns of folders to show in the front end.
* AJAX rating system allows players to rate game without a refresh.
* Upload zip or tar files in the pnflashgames or IBProArcade format.
* So Much MORE!
We believe PUArcade to be the strongest arcade offering available for Joomla - and don't worry about complicated licensing, PUArcade has ALWAYS been completely free and OPEN SOURCE!

This has to be the best Game component there is for joomla. I have this on my site and is extremely popular. Every time there is an update for this it keeps getting better. The support for this is fantastic which means if there are any problems they get sorted very quick.
Nice one Pragma and all who have contributed!! :D |

This is a really nice games extension that I would like to have on my website. Unfortunately, I'm getting warning messages at the top of the page that could be a security risk so I'm having to uninstall it. The advice I got from the forum didn't help me. It's a shame really, I like this arcade. Owner's reply: PUArcade is a community driven project. What is REALLY a shame is when users encounter an issue and don't put any effort into solving the problem, expecting the community to solve it for them.
This short changes the user AND the community as a whole. |

I tried this component, at first i looked good and worked fine but after a few tests there seems to be some bugs with the template (VII - rocket theme) i use. In IE7 page is scrolling when u try to control the moves in a game. The developpers dont seem to have a solution either the producers of the template. In Firefox there seem to be a scrolling problem. When u start playing a game the game does not stay in position. So i have to remove this component wich i did not like to do, coz it looks really great. Shame Owner's reply: We believe all of these issues have been fixed in the latest release. Try it again! |

Does a great job of organizing, installing, playing, and maintaining flash-based games on your Joomla! site. Games can be organized into categories & folders with thumbnails and descriptions. Does high-score recording for logged in users. Very simple and effective, installs easily and gets up-and-running just as easily. |

I'm surprised nobody commented here since new version came out. I have not used any older versions, but this new version is top notch and ass kicking. I have seen some websites with older versions of this component, and I really wasn't impressed by PUArcade. 2.1.1 really takes this component to the new level.
It uses AJAX rating system, optional commenting and shout box, allws you to create your own folders and sort the games as you see fit, both view and play permissions, CB profile tab, great high score tracking, compatible with a lot of game formats.
Thank you for this component!! |

Pragma provides great forum support,
new developers are helping with features and modules,
Large and active community of users,
forget reviews of the older systems which were good the current component is exceptional.
Stores most IBpro scores without a hack to the index.php this is helpful when upgrading Joomla and the php file changes, and do you really want to hack it anyway?
There is a rating system now--we can expect a highest rated module soon I'm guessing.
It's fairly easy to change the look and feel of the arcade. If you want just a few games or a large number this is a must try. I experimented with other systems as well as older PU versions and this one rocks! |

This is the component to go with if you are setting up an arcade on your site! It installs easy (and I am using JSMF from Joomla Hacks). Being able to add the games I want was also a major point that made me decide to use PU Arcade. Sure there are others out there that you install and loads of games are available on your site but also loads of ads you have no control over. The support on the forums is also fast and other users are also willing to help where they can. Oh, By the way, I have found loads of games that are compatible with PU Arcade. I have installed within 1 week, well over 100 games ALL of which keep high scores!
Keep up the good work Pragma. |

I have installed the previous versions too. But the latest version 2.1 is working very well.
Easy installation. I had some issues but at the forum at their website there was a solution very quick.
Games from IBP and PPHPBB are running good, although not every game wil submit a highscore.
Thanks for this great component. |

I like this component not only because it bring us the possibility of setting up a game arcade to entertain our members, but also because it provides the feasibility of extend the collection of games by ourselves.
I intalled this on my website and it works very well. Hope this one will be better and better.
Many thanks to the author(s). |

Even the first version (which did not have a way to customize which games would be available and just had 5 classic arcade games) had my COMPETITORS playing games on my website and giving me traffic.
Now, with the customizable version I can provide games that are appropriate to the different sites I create.
It just keeps getting better! |

I have never written a review for an extension that I used off this directory before, mostly due to the fact that so many great reviews were already written.
But after searching and trying many other components (ones hosted on other sites) and reviewing commercial based ones. I decided to try out PUArcade...and I am completely amazed by the work done on this component!
Easy to install, adding and customing games and their categories is as user friendly as it gets! Not to mention the amazing support provided by Pragma in the forums.
This component is a definite MUST HAVE for any site looking to keep its members entertained and consistently coming back to the site. As of this review, version 2.0.3 has just been released which supports even more games!
Simply Wow!!
As owner of IMNetworked I couldnt have found a better component. Visit my site to see the arcade in action or view the sample demo on the website provided.
Cheers! |

Pragma is constantly working to improve the arcade and develop modules.

Not many questions go unanswered. |
