I was in Spain years ago and came across a Trivial Pursuit standalone that was purely football questions. Brilliant, and looking back that probably kick-started my interest in quiz machines.

I asume the last 2 posts are referring to megatouch max style non-payout machines(though i hope not!) one of which can be found in the sports bar in ljubliana hopefully still retaining my hi-score acheived answering questions solely in german!!!
well when ,er, in rome.....
I once held the Trivial Pursuit record at McMahon's in Nice, S. France. Some seven years ago. I bet that machine's gone now. Either that or some French peasants, misunderstanding its purpose, will have pissed on it and fcuked up the wiring.

I've played a Megatouch game in the services at Bellinzona Nord, Switzerland, before. Never seen a proper quiz machine abroad although will be very excited when I do.
While stuck waiting at Lyons airport for a flight home from a skiing trip a couple of years ago, my friend and I got top scores on several different games on a Megatouch and (for shame) entered childishly amusing rude names onto the Top 10 tables - the sort of things that the paying games here are clever enough to prevent.
Not so. Some machines can still be graffitied by the more puerile among us. Whenever I feel that I have been shafted by a game (e.g. in which of these cities was an ice rink opened in 1984? Nottingham, Telford or Derby?) instead of my usual moniker I sign my name as FUQU.
