Cluedo Reloaded

Has this just made a reappearance, or have I been blind for the last 'however long it's been on ItBox' months?

It's certainly the same question set as previous...

I know it's 'fixed' but have played it to death in the past and had a few £20s from solving the crime and a couple of tenners from the room cards.

I think it has almost always been there, just hidden away on the second screen. A thought that occurred to me again at the weekend while watching some punters use up a few quid on various rubbishy games - do many of them even know that the second screens exist?

As an aside, where does your 'signature' quote come from?

It's a song called "Fleeting Instant" by Delerium??

Ain't wiki wonderful?

Reckon you must have played it to death - I've played it a fair bit, on and off, and have never managed a £20 from solving the crime!

(On a similar issue a trustworthy report from a friend of a recent £20JP on DOND has been received - a rarity indeed. Target at 12,000 apparently. The Paragon in question yielded over £70 so the locals must truly have been thick as pigsh*t.)

I have indeed Grecian, played it to death...

Tonka, Wiki indeed, is a 80ish% useful place to visit...

Oh, you are indeed correct - my band of choice currently...

So the "reloaded" just means a different set of questions?

Do you think that the same questions are shared between all the games on a particular machine, or just some of them, cos I have noticed the same questions pop up on different games, sometimes in subsequent games.

I know Cluedo is essentially a skill game and that the Murders should be "randomly" generated, but I do find that picking Mrs White with the Gun does quite often result in one of them being part of the solution.

What DMAC said on question banks - there's another big bank which a lot of games made by Channel One for Ind:e games use.

The bank DMAC describes is also used for the new Choose to Lose game.

As for Cluedo, I think 'Reloaded' just means it had a general update for the very first ever Cluedo game which was on standalone JPM machines and JPM Gameboxes back in the day. I think there were two versions of 'Reloaded' - a really duff one where the potential JP went down each time you guessed a room wrong, and the current one, which has been around for ages as it's a solid game.

I have played both 'Cluedo' and 'Cluedo Reloaded' and the only immediately noticable difference was that the later version had a bit more graphical shenanigans going on - baring in mind that I only played the 'Cluedo' version once. I'm sure the board was static, not 3D as in the reloaded version?

It's funny how often the same question will pop up throughout different games though... So many times I see:

'In what month of November was Kennedy Assasinated?
a) October
b) November
c) December

I find the Clues to be random and pretty much useless, many a time i've been given a clue such as "The murder weapon was the Gun" after i've already assertained this.

Also once had the situation on the question mark where every option was "murdered".

I don't know how long you have been playing quiz machines but you do need to lose any notions of randomness and fairness. These may be part of a game but they will have very little to do with whether you win or not. In the extremely unlikely event of you ever getting the Jackpot on Cluedo Reloaded, it will be because the game has decided to 'give' you the opportunity to do so after having sufficient losing games pumped through it. It will be nothing to do with skilful guessing of the Murderer, Weapon and Room. Indeed any single named pair of Murderer and Weapon should occur in 1/3 of all games - if you think of the 36 possible combinations of Murderer and Weapon, 6 will include Mrs White and 6 will include the Gun.
