The Steps
Adding a Game
Step 1:
Add a category, call it Arcade Games. Now in that catagory, make a new forum. Name the forum the title of the game you want to add. In this case, we will be showing how to make the game breakout. So we made a new forum called breakout.
Step 2.
Go to forum control-->Manage forums-->edit forum rules, for the forum you just made. Here is what it looks like: (incase you didn't know)

Now, for the Rules title, put <center>Breakout</center> The <center> tag centers the title, so it appears in the middle. Now for Rules text, copy this into it. Change the colored parts:
The things in red is the link to the game. The file must end in a .swf to work. If you find a game that dosen't end in a .swf, you can either contact me to find it for you, or you can do the instructions below under faq. The file must be a full link, example, you can't just put gamename.swf, it needs to be something like "www.thewebsite.com/thegame.swf". The .swf for Breakout is This:
http://www.webpost.net/pb/pbarcade/breakout.swf
Please download that, and upload it somewhere else.
The things in blue is the height and width of the game, you can edit that, but don't make it too small, or too big. It controls how big the game will be on your screen.
So 650, by 450 is big. 200 by 250 is small.
Now for Display method, set it to show link only.
It should look something like this:

Step 3.

Now before you go anywere, get the link of the game. Example: http://s13.invisionfree.com/elibra1/index.php?act=SR&f=56 Save it somewhere. (I usually put it in notepad) Note: Do not use the links from my example!
