Did anyone vote then?

Didn't hear too much about the pros and cons of BAM or Eliminator from any of the parties... :x

The best rule with test sites is to have a look what's new, work out if it will be any good in the long term, and then stay the fuck away until it's released. I've seen some brilliant long term earners disappear over the years because some twat dicked the game while it was on test. Ooops! I'm obvio...

Paragon 'new' editions.

Are they as random as they seem? A few have The Last Question and Colour Of Money on but most of them don't. Are they just trying these new games out on a selected amount of machines or what?

Seen about 2 BAM working out of about 12 or so Teetboxes. And yeah, most of the 'challenge' rounds on Match Of The Day don't work either.
Pity as they're two of the better games knocking about at the moment.

I'm pretty good on this one, one of the best recent additions to the gaming nerdiverse imho. You're not alone mate on two counts: 1. The whole 'footballing brothers' scene has narked me off and often proved to be a bugger. I've been a bit suspicious about failures on this particular topic and you're...

Rewriting history

It appears the By Any Means quiz compilers live in a different world. Not only was Get Off Of My Cloud a hit for The Beatles in their parallel universe but Leeds United won the European Cup when managed by none other than Brian Clough! He'll be turning in his grave if The Damned United film is anyth...

I would have thought the obvious way forward, and perhaps something GW in particular have realised, is to network all cabinets and only have tournament-style games. (king.com is considered skill rather than gambling) If you are playing directly against other people, answering exactly the same quest...

Bonus rounds

much harder on the tittieboxes. Not programmed harder, just harder to do. And don't get me started trying to do them on the Gamesnet! :o ops:

So no new games?
Not that bothered either way, recently I've only bothered with Go For Gold and Eliminator.
Bored with Bullseye, DOND as discussed not worth it anymore and Colour Of Money not worth the time and 3 or 4 quid investment!

Sounds like a combination of enough of us lot and normal punters who thought it was the old game have had a coupe of unsuccessful goes adding up to it now wanting to pay out.
Either way I suspect it's glory days are gone.
I trust other games more now.

Have also only achieved that level of performance on the train game. Doesn't it look a bit strange to the other punters in the pub? I've found to get 25+ I've had to stand at the side of the machine. Thankfully it doesn't last too long but god knows what my face looks like while I'm doing it! I tri...

Re: new dond on games warehouse (primarily)

anyone else notice how regularly the 250,000 box is swiftly dispatched compared to the original edition or is it just me? No, I would definitely agree. Haven't played it much so far, but I'm not sure I've managed to get through to the endgame yet! I hope when I do that the prize will be worth the s...

How the feck does that balloon thing work? Don't have any problems with the other modes of transport but aside from ignoring the first refill and going for the second one, usually just getting 30ish, I'm screwed. Am I a donkey?! :P

The Colour Of Money

is it disappearing? Just seen a black hole on an itbox where it used to be. Pity. I was enjoying holding my nerve.
