Alien Wasp Invasion
Unpublished Submission
The game doesn't even exist anymore, yet there's a 100 points medal attached to it. Thus that is a broken medal and should be removed right? Or else how are you supposed to obtain a medal from a game that's long been deleted?

I agree with you. That medal can not be earned. Surprised it was not removed by a medal mod.
Similarly, none of the medals in "Fish And Destroy" are obtainable as that game has also been deleted. Note, do not confuse this game with the very similarly-named game "Fish & Destroy", which is not a deleted game and whose medals are fine.
Fish And Destroy
Unpublished Submission
I think it was a beta version of Fish & Destroy but instead of just replacing it, the author deleted the original Fish And Destroy and made a new Fish & Destroy.
That's a full 225 points of medals that need removing.

You would be surprised how many of them are out there... CXT mazes, old fortunacus games... I got a whole list of these games and these medals. The amount of points locked in them goes into thousands. Many thousands.
Believe me that if I would get access to them I would remove them all the very same day.
But I - or any other API or game moderator - got no tools to do it.
@TomFulp - as you can see I am not the only one raising that issue ;-)
Consider this as an additional pressure :-)

I've deleted the medal.

So if I will give you a total list of these games you will do a TOTAL cleanup?

We could take a stab at it if you have a list handy.

For the beginning: check my old list in this post of mine.
Check if anything of it is still in the system. Alien Wasp Invasion and Fish and Destroy is done - just noticed.
Two notes about the whole list:
1. I found a way to fix the issue with the Chalkboard Pong, I worked with the author at it and it is now fixed.
2. I also successfully PMed the author of the Mo'mentum and the medals from removed version are already removed.
Do you need only the titles of the games or also the addresses?
These are not all anyway, since I made that list I found some more cases like these.

If you happen to have the URLs handy that would be super helpful since I don't have a way to search for deleted entries without having a dev dive into the database.

CXT Mazes:
Election 2012:
Not from the list - Lost Dungeon:
Mario:
Pair Bots - careful with this, because this game caused some issues on medal walls like for example
- what I personally call "the overpoints":
Stick G2:
Target shot:
The Excruciating Quiz:
The Invisible Hunter - judging from the look of the icons I even know whose game was it:
I started checking the other - removed games, but it looks like their issues have been fixed.

These should be cleared out now.
Glad to see so may broken medals finally removed. When we all work together, we can fix almost anything.
Hi guys. Thanks for calling this out. I honestly don't know if I still have the source for this game but I will dig out my archives this weekend and see if there's something I can do to rectify this. Nice to see people banding together to do a sweep of the site! I'll be in touch as soon as I know more :)

1. As for the Robot - normally you shouldn't even see that medal since it has never been unlocked. Everything is on the author's side here.
2. The Memory station - this again can be a https-caused problem.
There is a game called Indie Jones by @seanjames and @devilsgarage with a secret medal that used to be called Voyeur (the one farthest to the right). Anyway, no one has been able to unlock it since 2016. All of the rest of the medals are pretty current. Voyeur seems to gets activated by clicking the About the Newgrounds Movie! link and watching the video there. Unfortunately the video no longer loads and it freezes the game so that you can't continue to play. I came across the same problem on all three browsers. It might have something to do with the changeover to https if the video is using http, which would make sense since the game was made in 2010.

You are welcome. Once you make a game with medals , you will have several hundred or more players trying to earn them. That is plenty of people who want to make sure the medals work.
Got it! I'll have a look this weekend :)
So,i've been playing a game for a pretty long time. Life or death (Link:https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/706001)
And i've just finished the game,And i've got NO MEDAL!

When I played the game, I did not receive the medal.

Not sure I unlocked it myself, but I believe it had to do with how many times you died. There are some hints in the comments.

That game has had broken medals for sometime. I have played it before, and again recently. Both times I did not recieve the medals.

Here is a quote from the author:

It sucks, but I had to remove the API and medals...not my fault, but it's 2017 and I won't be working in Adobe Flash anymore for obvious reasons. If a stable version of the API becomes available, I'll re-add the medals, along with online high scores. :(
If someone knows of a simple solution for the above author that would certainly be helpful.
Sorry for the late reply, real life issues - work ;-)
I already PMed both authors you mentioned some time ago, still no answer.
By the way - @JackAstral - I sent you 2 PMs, but you did not respond, could you send some details regarding those errors you are getting? If this is some problem with the NG API then maybe @TomFulp could give you some advice? But for sure some details are needed :-)

to be clear, the GML api wasn't an official one created by newgrounds. because of this, it's a little shaky- that's just how it goes. i had to disable them. i made that little game 2 years ago and have moved on. ill remove them, i guess, so that people dont get confused. sorry for the trouble!
This game doesn't load at all. But I remember playing it some months ago, and none of the medals unlocked (I just moved on without caring about it).

Did you press the correct key on the title screen? I mean if you really want to Enter the game ;-)

Lol true. Either way medals don't work, in fact the last unlock dates from August 2017, just like most broken games due to the change to https and stuff.

The medals worked for me when the game first came out. They do not seem to be working now.

I can confirm that the medals do not work on IE, Chrome, and Firefox.
