JPM Cracker I also found hard work. Like playing Hi-Impact or Arcadia but with razor-wire and snipers around all the decent features.
And yeah Cracker was horrible compared to those two. Started getting too predictable for a liking when the 11s and 2s would turn into 12s and 1s. Double killed with extra life. I experimented on Emu a bit trying to light CRACKER via the 3 and 10 bonuses and then exploit higher wins when it offered other things(without fully lighting cracker) which it sometimes did but wasn't worthwile.
So what don't I like?
BGT-Barmy Army...Nasty machine in a crap looking cabinet on a Spanish tech, that would eat for boards for fun. On 5p a play you could fall asleep before being offered your pound.
MDM-Final Frontier...Far cry from any other same game concepts as it. Loved playing Gold Reserve, didn't mind Robin Hood, hated this an awful awful lot. Everything seemed so arduous and the likelihood of a flat 15 top was too much. Could back-to-back but this always took ages as it felt like it had to play out each board.
Ace-Swap til ya Drop...Another game which had good potential but just had the same shite later programming on JPMs that made everything block where it wanted and any attempts to exploit it just left you frustrated.
Empire-Jumping Gems...How much in for Jackpot? Dull game and theme.
Red-Demon Streak...Never seen anything good come out of this. Reds can be harsh but manipulatable. Didnt see any potential of that on this lotech.
