Arcade Prehacks: Hacks for Flash Games

June 27, 2012 - PRLog -- Flash gaming has become quite popular. Adobe's Flash plugin, available for all major desktop browsers, allows developers to create sophisticated games on par with standard desktop games. With its ubiquity, it has become the top target of game designers who want to get their game online and in use. Most Flash games are considerably simpler than standard desktop and console games, but many of these games are lauded by critics as fun, engaging and inventive.

As long as there have been gamers, there has been a demand for cheat codes and hacks. While some vehemently argue against the use of cheats and hacks, others enjoy testing the limits of their favorite games in an attempt to play in a manner never intended by the developer. Hacks allow gamers to "meta-game," which is a term used to describe the ability to invent games within a game. In the past, hacks have been used to enjoy playing a game long after it would have otherwise faded into obscurity.

Arcade Prehacks (www.arcadeprehacks.com) features cheats and other hacks for over 8,000 Flash games. When a user clicks on a game, it is loaded in a new window within a web page on Arcade Prehacks. From there, the website presents a "hackbar," allowing users to utilize a variety of cheats.

Some cheats are straightforward. For example, users can type a key to win the current level or gain an extra life. Others allow gamers to unlock all available levels within a game. More advanced hacks allow users to create new units or render a character invincible. While these hacks and cheats often remove the challenging aspects of a game, they can be used to reach levels the player has been unable to see or to play the game in a way never intended by the developer.

Arcade Prehacks allows users to upload their own hacks, and much of the development comes from the site's user base. It even features a "request hack" forum, where users without technical knowledge can challenge hackers to find hacks for a particular game. Long-time Flash gamers may be interested in looking for old favorites long since abandoned to see how they can use Arcade Prehacks to exploit functionality not originally present in the game.
