I can declare the same interest in the sense that I visited GWHL with him, but I have never let that cloud my judgement of games and cabinets. The Paragons from about three or four years ago remain to this day the worst games selection I have ever seen but since then I think GWHL have really tried to put out better games. Not all have worked by any means (no pun intended) but at least the intention is there.
All of this has been against a background of the other manufacturers of cabinets and games content seemingly having given up. Whether they are all in various states of financial distress, or if it's simply that their quiz games are being developed by people who have never actually played a quiz game themselves, or a combination of the two, I'm not sure, but the recent and current offerings of the other major players in the market have become increasingly pathetic, culminating in the current Ind:e release which runs that old Paragon line-up very close indeed as the worst ever.
I certainly would never have started playing quiz machines all those years ago if the games were as they are now in most cases, and I suspect the business in general would have withered on the vine very quickly anyway.
