Nice surprise on a gamesnet
Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2008 2:24 pm
Last night I was playing on a gamesnet machine....not doing too well - a couple of quid down.
Suddenly the game of monopoly I was playing began to really struggle...an incredible amount of slowdown which actually made the "Go game" very difficult. Eventually the game just froze and I got the Gamesnet initialisation screen.
I still had 50p in the machine which I presumed was lost - so i was a little annoyed. I stayed nearby to the machine and watched as it took about 5 minutes to reset itself. When it finally came back on and got to the home screen there was £3 in the bank. I rushed over...collected the £3 and left with a smile on my face.
