Objects emitting light in BGE

I’m creating a game on blender and I want a material on a certain object to emit light onto objects near it. The problem I am having is when I run the game engine the light doesn’t appear. I have already set the mode to Blender Game Engine, turned on GLSL, and turned on indirect lighting. Is there something I am forgetting or doing wrong? The object emits in render view but not in the standalone or embedded player. Please help!
Here it is in rendered view…


Here it is in game engine…


I forget to say this, a more simple solution is parent a point light to the object.

Thanks for the help!
