With the last version of Safari, it didn't seem to happen and the games played "smoother". Last October, when the Shockwave games were working for me, I, too, noticed the games would frequently freeze on me, with IE 11. I guess I'll see what Attack of the Slorgs does. So I am still unable to try for avatar scores on those. For some reason both Hannah and Gourmet Bowl freeze on me during the game every time I play them. Thanks for posting, Scoobert! I got the Dice Escape avatar on IE. (If going for the avatar, "shepherd" is your best friend)ĮDIT: If it does work, and you do get the avatars, don't forget to post your shiny, new avatars on the "Avatars: What have you got?" topic, here:

If you don't have them, go get them avatars! If you need help, and they are very useful, links to the TDN game guides below Please note, no guarantees any of the Shockwave games will work for you, but looking at the high-score tables for the Shockwave games, you may have a good chance that they will. If you have a Mac, or if Chrome, or Opera, or Firefox are your preferred browser(s), please post if they work, for you, or not. Open a different browser to play everything else on Neo. When done with the games, logout of Neopets, and close the browser. Suggest you use it for playing Shockwave games on Neopets, only. Same goes for using an older version of any browser. You/your computer may be vulnerable to those security issues/flaws. If any vulnerabilities/security issues were found with that browser, no updates, or fixes, or patches would have been made/released.
ADBLOCK FOR SAFARI 5.1.7 INSTALL
It does make it a bit more difficult, but still possible.ĭisclaimer: If you install an older browser, like Safari 5.1.7 for Windows, or any old browser, for that matter, you do so, at your own risk! Apple discontinued Safari for Windows in 2012. Not sure why it happens, but at least the games work, you can post your scores, and it IS possible to get the avatars, with it. Castle Battles, Gourmet Club Bowls, and Hannah and the Pirate Caves may display a big, black box, in the top, left quadrant of the game window. If you don't, your browser might not recognize Shockwave as being installed. When you do install Shockwave, make sure you close any/all browsers out, before installing Shockwave. However, if you are going to try another browser you don't have installed, install that or those browsers, first. Of course, you will need to install Shockwave. IE should then recognize Shockwave as being installed.

Click the "Add" button and it will appear in the text box below "Add this website:" field. In the "Add this website:" text field, you should see "".

I also have the latest version of Shockwave, 12.2.4.194.Īccording to some who posted on that topic, it seems to work on Macs, too. However, if you use an add-on, like IE Tab, it may work. Chrome stopped supporting Shockwave, last September, with versions 45 and later. I haven't tried Opera, Firefox, and Chrome. So far, I tried with the last version of Safari for Windows, 5.1.7, and Internet Explorer 11.

And Edge does not support Shockwave, either. Personally, I haven't tried, but will post results, when I do try. I believe you still cannot send scores with Firefox. The four avatar games are Attack of the Slorgs, Dice Escape, Gourmet Club Bowls, and Hannah and the Pirate Caves. There are 8, with four having avatars - Attack of the Slorgs, Castle Battles, Dice Escape, Frumball, Gourmet Club Bowls, Hannah and the Pirate Caves, Hannah and the Ice Caves, and TROTRODS (The Return of the Return of Dr. When I saw the high-score tables for the Shockwave games, I almost fell out of my chair! It appears the Shockwaves games may be working again, but with a few exceptions. I saw a topic on the "Games" Neoboard, and I couldn't believe it.
