Had a go of this yesterday.

On about question 19 we got given the question "name the band: new kids on the ..."

And as soon as we clicked "block" we realised our error. 11 correct answers. sigh.

Seems like a good idea for a game, but doubt I'll be putting much money in it.

I enjoy family fortunes. Not really any money to be won from it, but you can often easily claw your 50p back. And it's good fun to play.

That Lemmings idea is really really good. It would be so awesome if someone made that.

I actually downloaded an amiga emulator recently. I've already completed Lemmings and Lemmings 2. I'm now up to the Wicked levels on Oh No! More Lemmings :)

I like spoiler questions, especially when you get them early. It's a nice clear sign that the game is in a bad mood and you probably shouldn't feed it anymore money.

I've had a go on the new Open and noticed a few things: Rocket Money - We found this game to be hilarious - the game itself was fun, and we got a few quid out of it. But what made it was the voice overs. I don't think I've ever heard anyone sound so unenthusiastic. Family Guy - This sucked. We put a...

However I've always thought that while they must make some money for the pubs, they are more importantly seen as a social facility, i.e. groups of friends like to play them, and hence they are seen as encouraging people to go to the pub in the first place and, once there, to stay for longer. The sa...

Stand and Deliver

This seemed like quite a nice game, same as football crazy, got a few quid out of it.

Then started a new game. Very first word figured out what the letter to give us the bonus round was and bam: 4 game overs.

Is this even allowed??

I love Hex, and am a big fan of Hex Maniac. The only issue I have is that one or two slower machines can't keep up with the bonus round graphics, meaning you pretty much have to avoid the game on these machines. If you're stuck on a word you also have slightly less time to spam letters due to the lo...

We got to it with Cops and Robbers I think.

You'd think Hex Appeal would bring it up...

I like the open machine - it's one of very few machines I know that has Hex Maniac, even if we did spend £10 or so playing crap games trying to get it to appear on the similar games list...

I've searched the forum for the list but can't find it :(

We don't play it all that often, usually just in our lunch break. We're generally quite decent at it anyway and usually make a small profit from it. It seems to be one of those games that when it's being nice, it's very nice.

Football Crazy

Hi all, I've been reading the forum and have read a couple of references to a post on this forum where there is some sort of answer list or system for Football Crazy, and as a result Football Crazy has vanished from most quiz machines. I know a machine however which still has this game, and it is qu...
