Armor Games should find a way to host MySQL databases for its games so that its gamers can access their saves from anywhere.

For example, I play a lot of flash games at college, on one computer. Looking at my favorites, I have saved games in: StormWinds 1.5, Warfare 1917, Crush the Castle, Black Knight, Sonny, Sonny 2, and most importantly at this point in time, The Great Siege.

Now, if I wanted to play these games on another computer, for instance if someone decided to use the computer I always used (which happened once and she did not get off for an hour, by then I had to go to class), I cannot play my games on the next computer because saving goes by a computer-to-computer basis.

Now, I know this is not a matter of cookies, because Mozilla Firefox on every computer I use at school is configured to wipe all content I acquired after I close it, Browsing History, Cookies, Authenticated Sessions, etc. and therefore saved games save somewhere on Armor Games. If Armor Games could, they should try to make it so that saves try to attach themselves first to Armor Games users, and afterward specifically to the computer if the game does not detect a log-in. This would also require multiple save systems loading and unloading on flash games, so that the computer's saved game does not override the Armor Game user's saved game.

The problem is my semester ends on Monday (I do not even have to go to school) and I have reached the second to last campaign on The Great Siege. I do not want to redo everything I have achieved, but at the same time I do not think I will remember the game in three months.

If Armor Games could pull this off, it would be epic.

Could you transfer the files to a flash drive?

I don't know anything about how these games are saved though, so just an idea. No idea if it would work.

yes, it would be epic and awesome.

i suggests we can play those games with 2-4 players?

some games is really good when we play together, isn't it?

RE: Green

No, the games are saved to the actual Armor Games website.

RE: surfthenet

I would also like to see a form of multiplayer in Armor Games. I know that Sonny 2 has the PvP Arena, but that means two people have to take turns passing the mouse back and forth (it goes based on the save files).

Are you sure? If that was the case wouldn't you be able to access the data from any computer? That's how the forums work, and they're saved to the Armor Games site. It also seems like that would majorly slow down the site...

Well if I am right you would think Armor Games could develop a way to do that.

As far as the saved games going to the computer, I see no other probability, as I delete EVERYTHING my browser creates or downloads at school and my saved games remain.

I think that sums it up nicely! Hope to see this discussion run on some more- it's an idea I have yet to see brought up rigorously.
