As we all like a bit of a quiz, I have a question for you all.......
I got my first ever jackpot on a particular game today. Anyone want to have a guess which game?

I tried that last week and got no end of abuse! (Turns out it wasn't even a JP anyway lol)
Anyway, on Gamesnet or Paragon?

Can't think of a £20 JP on the Opens?

Wasn't an Open either (I don't think).
Although while carrying out a search to confirm to myself that it definitely wasn't an Open, I came across the following blog that I hadn't seen before that may be of some interest to some. I don't think it was linked on here before.

Good old Mark Griffiths, I still have a copy of Adolescent Gambling somewhere in this house and I have referenced to his works before now.
As for the game.....oh God knows errr a cheap generic Hangman clone?

Trivial Pursuit?
Quiz machine addiction.. possibly the dullest addiction in the world.
"excellent at modifying mood states" indeed, to near-catalepsy and hypersomnia.

Do you know what the machine was? Maybe you should just tell us, the suspense is killing me lol

Some more clues.
I think the cabinet was an Ind:e of some description, though I may be wrong.
By my reckoning, I first played this game on or around the 11th July 2006 (I actually thought it was older than this, but seemingly not).
The game in question currently stands at number 14 on my all-time list.

Caveman capers must have been from around then and would satisfy the other clues?

Surely a player of DH's eminence would have done Capers hundreds of times back in the day?
