I use arcadem pro for FingerMonkey. I've had quite a bit of trouble with it to be honest, particularly when it comes to upgrading. The template system is fairly complex and has a steep learning curve, but with patience you get there in the end. The admin panel is more about eye candy than practical functionality.

That being said, it has got a lot faster in terms of load times and it is one of the cheaper options, but if I was going to start a new arcade from scratch, I'd probably look for something else. The next version is due out soon (has been due for weeks now) and boasts a lot of new features and improvements. I hope that's the case because the current version is beginning to feel old and clunky.

The problem that plagues most of these scripts is that they are one-man shows. You are at the mercy of a single developer, which means long waiting times and often a linear vision. My overall advice is make sure you weigh up the pros and cons very carefully before buying.

P.s. what's the script you're using for http://www.yeni-oyunlar.biz? It looks very close to the miniclip layout.
