On Jumpin' Jokers it used to make you lose the hi lo gamble all the time when in Im, just ressurected you though, never understood the point.

That's a point, I've had one of em as well. What about on old Italian jobs? Did they release a chip or something so Red white Blue wasn't IM?

Dracula and Boulderdash from Barcrest - on a flash board, going round the board would go cash square to cash square until JP. However - if you used your boost at any point off the bonus trail, it would stop flashing and revert to a normal - i.e. losing board.

I've had a few GATW's on Live the Dream but none that killed me. Sounds like I was lucky! In what way does it kill you? E.G. High / low gamble only, question mark only etc. And is it ALL types of IM, GATW, red phones.

spiker the biker could give eye flicker and the 4 start, but then when you get ? it gives hi-lo continue..... whatever it flashes first you must go that way... even if it flashes lower when on a 2.. if you went higher you die!!

was a fucking joke

as it does every time on hi/lo continue?

the 4 start/eyes wasnt an INVINCIBLE board, it was a signal that it was going to go to an invincible mode..

the older machines like these were less obvious,, afaik the first machines to be full on obvious IM were early extreme games where it made a big point of telling you you were invincible

some others said stuff on the lcd on feature entry, and the flashes and red lights etc but its quite a new 'user friendly' thing to get GO ALL THE WAY these days..

some older IM's you had to work for the jackpot and they were designed in a way that a regular player had more advantage over a casual, i must have seen 90percent of people who had IM before 2001 collecting small amounts or the wrong thing because they didnt notice the single lit dot on a lockbuster or the music playing a tiny bit different,

these days its not uncommon to see a 90year old blind and deaf alcoholic who's pissed himself twice on one half of mild hit the deal or no deal game to the end for mega-prize while telling everyone 'its gunna be a big board innit' because when the phones rolled in and the board lit up a brass band and a town cryer came into the pub and started playing and singing the DOND theme while shouting Nyou're going to win a lot of money'
