3 Year Old Custom coded arcade with 19 unique games $100+/day income, 13000+ UV/day (
http://www.shockarcade.com)
Shock Arcade has 19 unique games that you can submit to various arcade directories for increased traffic. So far I have only submitted to a few. Unique games to Shock Arcade are:
Hacker 1, Hacker 2, Hacker 3, Security, Security 2, Sewer Dweller, Momentum, Undercover, Kill Crazy Frog, Shock Balloon Bomber, Gladiator Arena, Stuck Inside, Shock Pool, Minefield, Jet Pack Bob, Peckish Penguin, Twisted Nipples, Space Miner and Shock Defence.
I have spent approximately $10k on the development of these custom games. I will give details of the authors of the games to the eventual winner.
The site is hosted on a shared server, I will provide SSH details and all relevant login details to the new owner and assist in transferring the site to their server. Size of the entire site is approximately 825mb.
Shock Arcade Features
- Arcade Community, ability to send each other messages, meet like-minded people online through the site.
- Guest plays before requiring membership signup, which is when they get to PM others, submit game plugs, comment on games
- Rating system
- Comments system for registered members
- Plug system allowing arcade webmasters to plug their games (great for traffic exchanges)
- Banner Advertising system, rotating 100x100 banners among advertisers (custom-coded) and ability for the admin to set when the banner expires. Also able to set default banners if there are no advertisers at the time.
- Traffic ranking system. All link exchanges are sorted by traffic in and is fully automated from the time they submit their link into the link exchange script. Once submitted, they need to send traffic before they are placed in the list.

I disabled the news feature (which is why you can't see it on the site) because I didn't really know what to report. You can re-enable it if you like. What's good about the panel is that you can add admins with certain abilities. For example, you can add an admin who only has power over the faqs or the news or only games. Handy tool if you decide to hire someone to help you manage the site.

Reason for Sale
To be honest, I'm just getting bored of the site. Have had it for a few years already and have built it up and added tons of added custom functionality and a number of unique games. I feel it's time to move on to something else and let someone else enjoy running a popular arcade.
