Playing

Bind the inputs in Options → Controls → AH-64D MPD Minigames: up, down, left, right and fire. Your keyboard does not reach the game directly. Only these bindings do.

While a game is open, the bottom row of the MPD works the game:

Button Action
B1 Back to the game list.
B2 A game’s own extra control, for example rotating a ship in Battleship.
B4 Restart.
B5 Pause or resume.
B6 Sound on or off, for every game.

Two players

The two-player games pair the two crew members of the same aircraft. Open the same game on an MPD in each crew station and it starts a match. If your opponent leaves the game page, the match waits for them to come back. Going back to the game list with B1 leaves the match.

Scores

Your best scores are kept in your Arma profile, so they carry over between missions and servers. Each game also shows the top ten from everyone on the server, and the two-player games keep your win and loss record.
