Games being pulled...

Someone(a quiz pro) told me once that the paragons will take off games that go too far behind, but the game can re-appear. Pretty much what you've been saying, but he said its to do with boot up.

Apparently if you were to switch them on and off enough times the game should re-appear at some point.

Bit fuzzy on details, but I was playing a stacka on one that seemed to disseappear then reappear every few days so kind of made sense.

Anyones else seen this? Thought it somewhat bizarre.

I had this on Sunday (Menu 10). I won a £5 and a £4 and then went to play Jimmy White, which took my money, but didn't actually play. I think I played one more game and then went for Monsters of Rock (had 50p to waste) which also took my money but didn't play. Needless to say I didn't hang around any longer to be mugged again.

Finally, I've been racking my brains and, perhaps I'm being particularly stupid, but Simply Wank?

Maybe if I'd said Strictly Wank you'd have got it.

Also I think that's a different bug. I've had the one where games take your money and don't give you a game, but this was different. It wouldn't even launch and didn't take my money.

Yes, that helps.

Re my earlier post: the games not playing, but taking my money happened in addition to Star Wars appearing on the main screen, but not launching. I suppose I was implying that the two occurences may be connected, although this would seem not to be the case if you have had one without the other.

If I remember correctly, Star Wars was 'greyed out' even though it was the main game on the front screen. Therefore it wasn't a complete shock that it didn't launch, even though I had never seen this before anywhere.
