The gotoAndPlay() Games index page has been updated: in fact, due to the high number of games we host, its size was huge and the time needed for its complete download was too long, expecially on slower connections.
Now the new page is divided in three sections: the first one, on the left, contains a box for login purposes, a box with the games top ten and a box for advertisement purposes; the second section, on the top right, contains the links to the Dick Dynamite games.
The third section contains the text links to the games: the games listed are the last five entries for each game type, and the screenshots shown are randomly selected among those five (a yellow arrow tells which one). A click on the “Full list” button opens a new page which lists all the games for the selected game type.
