Title: Trouble with Big Jon TPIR games where you drag items.
Post by: Sonically on May 17, 2022, 12:40:35 AM: I have trouble playing games that involve dragging items using the mouse (Plinko, EZ as 123, Race Game, etc). I am not able to correctly drag the items and a white box appears when doing so. The games are broken for me as I can't get it to do what I want (EX: dropping a chip) Any advice?

I'm not sure why, but your response made me laugh.

Have you tried downloading a standalone Flash player to run his games? I haven't played them in years so I don't remember if there are .swf files in those folders, but that works for some applications I'm familiar with.

Post by: GameShowFan1987 on May 19, 2022, 10:53:40 PM: BigJon's games were a huge security risk even back when they were new and they're certainly not worth putting your computer at such a risk now. I realize a person can go find them with a Google search, but Jon himself was issued a cease and desist and ordered to stop distributing them. I wouldn't be surprised if legally he's not supposed to offer support for them either.

Post by: FanOfDrew87 on May 21, 2022, 09:16:55 PM: I guess the demises of Flash and BigJon's games helped pave the way for a big cutting of security risks. Won't miss them for the world.

Legally, we aren’t supposed to post TPIR clips on YouTube, either.

Doesn’t mean it hurts to try. Worst he (or his stream mods) could say is “sorry, can’t help you”.

I do not think this expression means what you appear to think it means.
