Games on Neopets won't work for me: neopets. Posted: (3 days ago) Games on Neopets won't work for me. Yo I just want to play this stupid gaming contest. I have a brand new gaming laptop. I have updated flash. I have tried chrome + mozilla. When I load a game up, the game screen is just a light grey.
Are you having problems with making the shockwave games work for you?
SO I have been having an ongoing problem with Gourmet Club Bowls not wanting to load for me in any browser (IE, Chrome, FF, Safari, etc.) – I was on the Charter boards today and someone told me this handy little tip and I thought I would share it with all of you!
(Mods if this is already posted somewhere, please remove this thread, but I couldn’t find it.)
First – Open Google Chrome (not sure if this works in IE, but it does not work in FF)
Second – Open four tabs with the following link – physically copy and paste the link, it cannot be in a pop-up (I don’t think anyhow) http://www.neopets.com/games/dgs/play_shockwave.phtml?va=&game_id=386&nc_referer=&age=1&hiscore=555&sp=0&questionSet=&r=3891114&&width=600&height=456&quality=high
Third – Open another tab with this link http://www.neopets.com/games/dgs/play_shockwave.phtml?va=&game_id=330&nc_referer=&age=1&hiscore=350&sp=0&questionSet=&r=9631574&&width=740&height=500&quality=high
Now you can close the other tabs of Attack of the Slorgs and you should be able to play Gourmet Club Bowls!
It took me a few tries to load the Slorgs game in each tab, just do one at a time and you should be alright!
Yay for finally being able to get this snazzy avatar!!
