Thought i'd ask,as a previous poster got me thinking when saying the im on wobbler could be missed.
For me the most obvious to virtually the whole pub would be vivids "Rat Pack" or "Reel-em-in",total nightmare when the method was worth doing and everyone is shouting "you got jackpot mate" :lol:
So what are your choices?

most obvious mp flying circus Even after 12 pints of lager you would have no excuse missing this one.

The mob mdm yoused to make fairly clear to

All the older ones really, seemed to love telling you they were in IM

Least obvious agree darts clones ( just a little flash by the barcrest fella isnt it?) Also just to clarify do these still throw in skill continue's and last lits when IM? I am sure I have had the IM ( gone on all the way, but still had last lits and skill continue's thrown in)

yes you can still get skill cons and last lits on the darts IM's so you can still die if you mess it up..easily avoided though as it nearly slways starts with a skill stop anyways...

Dare I say it ... Motorway Madness!

Flashed like billy-o, with the JP flashing and the dot matrix square on the top of the trail turned into a giant red arrow pointing at the flashing JP.

BWB's Pyramid-style one was great as it'd suddenly say 'Red Sky at Night, Player's Delight..', the background of the centre board would glow red and it would start belting out '.. its like that, and that's the way it is.. HUH!!' (Run DMC vs. Jason Nevins I fink it was)

Arabian Nights was good when it used to go 'Shazam!' and flash furiously, but they chipped-out the IM, or so I was told?

I guess nowadays you could say the IM on Red's Invincible is a bit obvious - it fills the name, continues flashing and even has an explanation of what happens once you've filled the name. Can't really ask for a simpler game really.

The IM on Hurricane, Wildfire, and clones... lovely massive flashing stuff. And you can't beat lovely massive flashing stuff, can you. 8)

What about Thunderbirds?! SUPER FEATURE (on lcd)! AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAA!

I still remember seeing someone collect £4 on an IM. Shocking! :shock:

err, silent im on many machines, so you dont actually know,

most obvious, old school extremes that scream the IIIiiiIIIINNNNnnNNNVVVVVVIIIiIiNNNCCCcCCCIIIIIiIiIiIBBBBBBBLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

and make so much noise and flashing that you nearly pass out

hardest to tell, snake rattle and toll, snakes eye lights one red bulb, on spiker, you get the 4 first but you win all the ?'s and then tells you you cant lose...
