Arcade-kids Games (often seen as Arcadekids), is an independent game developer founded by John Jones in late 2010. John, the creator of Arcade-kids, had announced that his internal plan was to host games from other developers, while also publishing his own games. The developer's first game was John's Quest, an arcade, action, and adventure game. It was originally made in 2009, which was before Arcade-kids had actually existed. A spin-off was recently added for this game in late 2010, called Girl Power, which is now discontinued, along with John's Quest. Since then, more games have been made by him. John had recently announced in late 2011 that he will plan the release of Arcade Genesis, a game that is a combination of all other major games on the website. However, the project was soon cancelled because most of the games were not up to par. He publishes his games under the pseudonym "Chuck Gunns".

History
Before Arcade-kids was created, John had wanted to make video games. He had then discovered Game Maker, which (at the time), was version 6.0. This is the engine he used to make John's Quest. When the game was made, it was released in 2009-2010. The game was structured as a compilation of small mini-games. At the time, the graphics and gameplay was poorly made, and the game was heavily criticized because of this.

Arcade-kids Games started on October 26, 2010, only as a Facebook profile, which was masked as a website itself. This is also where the pseudonym "Chuck Gunns" had surfaced. But in June of 2011 however, it soon had a website. The site still has it's original Facebook page, and was soon growing with recent titles like Solar Conflict and No Color. All of it's games are made with Game Maker.

In 2012, No Color, a platformer and adventure game, was upgraded and extended. The game had many more levels, a more improved plot and storyline, and had more characters. There were also new features introduced in the new version, such as the 'Help' icons. The 'Help' icons tell the player about the game, and they give special tips on how to play the game. There are also falling meteorites and UFO's, which can kill the player. The game's soundtrack had a few more songs added to it. There was more improvements made.

That same year, the games Girl Power and Girl Power 2: The Magic Orbs were discontinued and removed from the website, due to them lacking popularity and recognition. They were also not up to par.
