Anyone taken Mega on ESB? I've never even been offered it, is it pot?

Thanks Kong, that would have pissed me off all night and I couldn't find a decent pic!

So the question I would like to know is was pokerface the first to drop mega streak down a level but still keep Streak, Super Streak and Mega Streak on the board which can obviously be misleading?

I remember laying my hands on a *cough* manuscript once, for DOND Dream Factory - it was a detailed document explaining all the features, the board layout, percentage, etc. Think I found it on one of the emulator websites (if anyone knows of it, let me know, would be interesting to re-read!)

Anyway, it said that Mega Streak was the top feature - which it is, but also that red Super Streak is the same as white Mega Streak - didn't think that was true though?!

Slightly OT, but was very interesting. lol

The only one I've fallen foul of, was a Bank Job-ish game, where you had different coloured coins, which you hi/lo'd to get shots. It gave me MS and I'd eliminated everything else* - I collected and it gave me £30. Hmm...

*Turns out that another shot on that pot would've given me the 'huge' name at the top of the machine - as I found out £40ish later. Could've told me though... lol

We all fuck up at times Matt whether people admit to it or not!

Very true mate! Some of my most tedious eff-ups:

1. Collecting the bloody coins worth about £2.60 when I wanted to press the 'take cash' button on a Spiker the Biker that was at Jackpot.

2. Collecting a bloody pony blue feature when I wanted Mega Streak on a Hi Lo Silver.

3. Pressing Lo instead of Hi whilst on a 2. DOH!

4. Cocking up Skill Continue when I really, really shouldn't have.

ops:

Think Poker Face just had SS, MS then PF? No "Streak" on that, although Super Streak was so crap it might as welll have been called Streak.

Maybe they think that by making everything more Super, Mega, Ultra, Uber, Incredible, Unbelievable (is that the right order?), we'll think the features are getting better and better? Until we take them and get £7 of course.

Personally, I'm looking forward to "Brilliant Streak" - they could theme the machine on that Fast show bloke.

Anyway... If Poker Face wasn't the first to demote Mega Streak I'm not sure what was? I reckon someone on here will come up with something though!

If I programmed the machines I would be a nasty arse and demote the name of the machine back down and make Mega Streak the top again!

Imagine how many people that would piss off!
