Venue: The Royal Oak (Northumberland Heath) Bexley, Kent. ;) Not that anyone would really want to bother too much trying to get there, but...

It gets a lot of play from punters as it's situated in the 'pool and darts' section of the pub (thankfully not in the way of either). I'll try and see if there are any version details on it when I pop in later this week.

I 'think' the newest game on there is Mark My Words, although the version of Bully is the 'adjusted' one. Interesting to see a mix of old and new though.

I expect Matt's talking about the Crossword themed one isn't he - can't remember what its' called, but it ain't QFG (which I haven't seen for ages either - heard it was getting drained by pros).

Ah that's it, a faux pas by me there. DOH! Let me know if you need a refund on that train ticket. ;)

waxy o'connor's in chinatown still has QFG on its paragon. (and the double double version of japseye).


as for none of the above, personally, i like it. not because it pays the mortgage but because it is a bit of fun.

violent veg is just a picture match game and a vehicle for an amusing "pea in the bucket" endgame. still on dice i think.
nobody ever wins on those things.

It 'may' be called something different then!
Clued up?

I finally found a few Paragons containing this game (None of the Above) at the weekend and all I can say is - Bloody Hell! You guys weren't exaggerating when you described it in such critical terms. It's rare to find a game where from the first sight you know you are dealing with an All Time Worst game but this is definitely one of those. As I've said elsewhere on here GWHL deserve to be cut some slack as they are the only games company still releasing anything decent but this one is a real howler.

There's another game out there which deserves consideration in anyone's Bottom 10 - on some of those rubbish Ind:es there is a 50p variation of the Track and Field, the Paragon retro athletics game, which would still take 15 minutes to lose your money but to make it even harder for the 50p stake they have made it so that you only have two lives in total, rather than on each round. Hence the silver and bronze bonuses are actually impossible to achieve. Nice work lads! :roll:
